The MAEN × IFL Watches Manhattan After Dark is a hand-painted limited edition of the MAEN Manhattan 37, reference IFL.02. IFL says the run is limited to 300 watches, each with a unique dark blue and grey city-at-night dial. It combines that artwork with a 37 mm steel case, integrated bracelet, 100 m water resistance and a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. The US IFL listing showed a $1,499 price and sold-out status with a waitlist when checked; availability can change. (IFL Watches)

What is the Manhattan After Dark?

It is an official collaboration between Swedish watch brand MAEN and IFL Watches, built on the MAEN Manhattan 37 platform. IFL identifies the watch as reference IFL.02 and calls it the second chapter in the brands’ graffiti series. The painted dial is the defining feature: a nocturnal New York-inspired scene rendered in dark blue and grey with bright electric accents. IFL says every hand-painted dial is unique. (IFL Watches)

This is a jointly presented edition of the Manhattan 37, rather than a third-party dial modification. The steel case and integrated-bracelet design remain recognizably part of the Manhattan platform; the custom artwork gives this version its identity.

Price and availability

When checked, IFL’s US product page listed the watch at $1,499, marked it “Sold out,” and offered a back-in-stock notification. The page also said import duties and taxes were not included. That is a point-in-time US-store listing, not a guarantee of current stock or a price that applies in other regions. Check IFL’s product page for the live status and local terms. (IFL Watches)

At launch, Fratello reported that orders would be accepted from November 3, 2025, at 16:00 CET through November 9, 2025, at 16:00 CET. It reported that the first 300 watches were expected in December 2025, with additional orders scheduled for July 2026. Those were launch-era sale and delivery terms, not current delivery estimates.

How it compares with the other Manhattan art editions

IFL’s collection presents After Dark alongside the Manhattan Graffiti and Manhattan Paradox editions. Their distinguishing points include the artwork and edition size; the available figures are 300 pieces for After Dark, 500 for Graffiti and 200 for Paradox. Check the current product listings for prices and availability, which can change. (IFL Watches collection) (IFL Watches Paradox listing)

For a fit comparison with another watch, the most useful starting points are the 47 mm lug-to-lug length and 9.3 mm thickness, alongside case diameter. The Manhattan’s integrated design can wear larger than its nominal 37 mm diameter suggests, according to a general platform guide; that is not a wrist-specific fit test.

San Martin SN0144-CG5 39mm Luxury Watch for Men,90S5 Automatic Movt Sapphire Crystal Stainless Steel Bracelet, 100M Water Resistant, Salmon MOP Dial
  • Refined Dial Presence: The genuine mother of pearl dial gives every watch a unique shimmer, while the numeral layout adds distinctive character. The result is a dress watch for men that feels refined yet easy to wear. Available in white or salmon pink with a 90S5 automatic movement.
  • Comfortable Daily Wear: The thin 10.1mm profile and balanced 46.5mm lug-to-lug sit flat on the wrist for a neater fit. That means more comfort under a cuff and less bulk through the day. Built with 316L stainless steel and a solid bracelet for daily wear
  • Scratch-Resistant Clarity: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating improves clarity and helps resist scratches, easier to read indoors, outdoors, and under office lighting. Finished with a brushed stainless steel bezel, it delivers the polished feel expected from a classic men's dress watch.
  • Ready for Daily Use: A screw-down crown and screw-down case back improve sealing, while 100M water resistance adds practical protection for rain, hand washing, and weekend wear
  • Premium Japanese Movement: The 90S5 high-beat automatic movement brings smooth timekeeping and the charm of mechanical wear, giving this self-winding watch a more elevated feel than basic fashion watches. No battery changes are needed with regular wear, and the clean no-date style keeps the dial balanced for a timeless men's automatic watch that works for office, travel, and daily rotation

What stands out about the watch?

The After Dark puts a one-off painted dial at the center of a conventional, time-only automatic configuration. That makes it most distinctive as a design-led Manhattan 37, rather than as a movement-specification upgrade: the listed SW200-1 offers hours, minutes and seconds, with a 38-hour reserve. The compact case dimensions, sapphire crystal and 100 m rating provide the practical specifications around that artwork.

Fratello author Michael Stockton offered a personal assessment of the bracelet in his November 3, 2025 launch article: “I’ve had the opportunity to try this bracelet in person, and it’s wonderful.” That is his subjective impression, not a measured performance claim. (Fratello)
