IFL x MAEN Manhattan After Dark
Where Gotham's Shadows Meet Swiss Precision
The Manhattan After Dark emerges as the second chapter in the MAEN x IFL graffiti series, transforming the acclaimed Manhattan 37 into a noir-inspired timepiece. This exclusive collaboration captures the enigmatic character of New York after sunset, when the city reveals its darker, more mysterious identity through shadows, neon reflections, and the vigilante spirit that watches over the sleeping metropolis.
The Manhattan After Dark represents a bold evolution in horological artistry. MAEN's technical excellence meets IFL's creative vision in this hand-painted timepiece that explores Gotham's nocturnal transformation. Each custom dial renders the city's after-dark atmosphere through ink-blue tones, smoke-grey shadows, and electric accents. This exclusive release bridges the precision of Swiss watchmaking with the raw authenticity of nighttime street art, creating a wearable statement for those who understand that cities reveal their true character after sunset.
Available exclusively through a seven-day order window from November 3rd 2025 at 4 PM CET through November 9th at 4 PM CET.
Swiss Precision, Vigilante Soul
Gotham's Nocturnal Transformation
Following the vibrant energy of the Manhattan Graffiti edition, After Dark explores the city's transformation when darkness falls. Where daylight reveals colorful borough names and vibrant street art, night brings forth a different Manhattan—one that pulses with shadows and the vigilante spirit.
The nickname "Gotham," first applied to New York by Washington Irving in 1807, has evolved through centuries to represent the city's darker, more enigmatic persona. This edition captures that noir essence—the Manhattan that emerges when streetlights cast long shadows and the urban landscape reads in silhouettes and glare. The graffiti language remains, but at night it reads differently—marks that surface only after closing time, when the city shows its other face.
Swiss Precision Meets Street Art
The Manhattan 37 platform delivers exceptional specifications wrapped in artistic expression. The Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement ensures chronometric reliability, while the slim profile and integrated bracelet design honor the vintage-inspired aesthetics of landmark 1970s timepieces.
Each hand-painted dial undergoes meticulous craftsmanship, transforming the watch into a unique piece of wearable art. The combination of technical excellence and creative vision results in a timepiece that serves equally well as an artistic statement and a precision instrument. In this guise, the MAEN Manhattan 37 becomes a statement of urban refinement, pairing Swiss heritage with the raw authenticity of after-hours street art.
