Erol Baliyan, Managing Director of Franck Muller for the Middle East, Africa, and India, was in New Delhi to inaugurate the Swiss watch brand’s first standalone store in the Capital at DLF Emporio Mall on September 16. This marks their second store in India, after the Franck Muller Boutique at Palladium Mall, Mumbai.
Franck Muller is now actively exploring the Indian market for BRANDED RESIDENCES, with Mumbai likely to be the first destination, followed by New Delhi. The brand is already in discussions with leading Indian developers for potential partnerships.
In December 2023, Franck Muller launched the AETERNITAS TOWER in Dubai—a 435-metre, purely residential tower crowned with a “Franck Muller Long Island-shaped” clock. Residences here start from AED 1,600,000 (approximately ₹4 Crore and above).
What are Branded Residences?
Branded residences are luxury homes created in partnership with globally renowned fashion houses, hospitality giants, or lifestyle icons. They bring their prestige, heritage, and design expertise to residential projects, redefining luxury living.
Why This Matters In India?
Branded residences cater to Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs)—those with an investable surplus of ₹25 crore or more. For this segment, real estate is not only a sanctuary but also a status symbol and strategic investment. When a name like Franck Muller enters the market, it offers more than prestige—it conveys identity, promising a seamless convergence of art, heritage, and lifestyle.
