triple jumping complex watch

the long island evolution master jumper showcases a stunning triple jump complication with digital displays for hours, minutes and date. although high-end watches have already provided a triple jump display function, it is limited to the calendar function of a perpetual calendar. it is unprecedented to have a triple jump display time and date function at the same time.

three equidistant windows are arranged vertically in the center of the case. the hours are displayed at the top, the minutes are displayed in the middle, and the date is displayed at 6 o'clock, presenting a new jumping display. the minute and date windows use two independently beating digital discs to display tens and single digits. the hour window, on the other hand, uses a separate digital disk to display the hours from 1 to 12. through the hollow-designed bridge, you can appreciate the five digital dials and the gears that drive them from the front of the long island evolution master jumper watch.

it takes a lot of kinetic energy to make the hours and minutes jump at the same time, especially when the hours jump. in addition, the date will also jump at midnight, requiring more energy. in order to provide sufficient energy, franck muller designed an innovative double barrel system. a mainspring at 12 o'clock provides kinetic energy for the hour and minute discs, and another mainspring at 6 o'clock. it drives the two digital disks of the movement and date display.

the inner bezel of the long island evolution master jumper is equipped with a sapphire crystal, which not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the watch, but also prints practical text elements that highlight the technical hands of the movement. the borders of the three windows are also printed directly on the dial, and outlined in a striking pine green hue.
