IT WAS A COOL MONDAY EVENING when we drove half an hour out of Geneva to the historic Chateau d’Allaman. The castle is the site of the First International Summit of Peace and is where Swiss luxury watch Maison Franck Muller were celebrating the launch of their new Long Island Evolution timepieces.
We alighted at the alabaster cobbled driveway into the chateau, and bumped into the man of the hour — Naphat ‘Nine’ Siangsomboon, sporting a cool black shirt and trenchcoat, a Franck Muller Long Island Evolution 7 Days Power Reserve adorning his wrist.
We were impressed by it — the green-and-black tonneau case, skeletonised dial, and stylish modern typography used for the indices were immediately striking. There were vestiges of the original Long Island watches, but this one seemed intent on bringing the famed collection into a new age. “The colours, the design, the ergonomics is perfect,” Nine enthuses about the watch.
As the evening wore on with fine food, fine wine and fine conversation, Nine later switched it out for the fascinatingly complicated Long Island Evolution Master Jumper, which features three numerical indications with the time and date functions combined. Joined by the aptly named Long Island Evolution Giga Tourbillon, the trio form the first expressions of the Long Island Evolution, available exclusively to Asia Pacific.

August Men Of Tomorrow
In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
