Breaking Records: Dubai to Construct the Tallest Residential Clock Tower

The developers of the building revealed on Thursday that Dubai will see the construction of its first residential clock tower, which will also be the tallest residential clock tower globally.

The project was unveiled at a ceremony to celebrate the partnership between Franck Muller, a luxury watch manufacturer in Dubai, and London Gate, the premier real estate developer in the United Arab Emirates.

Franck Muller, a global trendsetter in the watch industry for the previous thirty years, is entering the real estate market with this partnership.

At 450 meters, London Gate, the highly anticipated development in Dubai Marina, is expected to become the world’s tallest residential clock tower, residential tower with a brand, and residential tower.

Eman Taha, CEO of London Gate, said: “After our debut in the UAE real estate market, with our sold-out projects Maya V, Nadine I and II, we are now thrilled to unveil our masterpiece in collaboration with iconic watchmaker Frank Muller. With our latest project, we bring Frank Muller’s first-ever branded residences. With this partnership, we aim to create a living experience that reflects the brand values and vision of both London Gate and Frank Muller. An exclusive branded residential project; this will stand as a testament to our commitment to crafting unparalleled and never-seen spaces that resonate with our brand partner’s essence and prestige”.

The watch of the same name, designed by Franck Muller, inspired the tower’s name, Aeternitas. According to the company website, with 1,483 components and 36 complications, this is the most complicated watch in the world.

Erol Baliyan, managing director, Franck Muller, said: “We are delighted to expand in the Middle East with this partnership with London Gate. We have been strategically exploring the branded residential market in the UAE to bring the heritage of brand excellence to the realm of real estate. It is incredible to launch Franck Muller’s first-ever real estate collaboration in a world-class city like Dubai, known to be one of the most vibrant, luxurious, and developed cities in the world. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for our brand. We are excited to introduce a record-breaking legacy for Franck Muller— which is slated to be the first of many iconic ventures that will unfold globally.”

The luxurious residential development is scheduled for an official launch in January 2024, with residents anticipating a handover by 2026.
