Franck Muller unveils a striking new chapter in its iconic Vanguard collection, a modern evolution itself of the House’s signature Cintrée Curvex case. Maintaining the sculpted tonneau curves that define its character, the latest Vanguard pairs bold presence with refined proportions in a V 43 stainless steel case, resulting in a versatile expression of sport and elegance for every day.
At the heart of this evolution is the debut of the guilloché pavé de losanges dial, a mesmerising architectural marvel of geometry and light. Crafted entirely in-house through four precise stages of stamping at the Franck Muller dial manufacture in Les Bois, Jura, Switzerland, each facet on the richly textured diamond motif catches and reflects light in a dynamic dance. A contrasting micro-blasted sunburst centre draws the eye inward, creating depth and dynamism that shift with every movement of the wrist.
True to the exceptional level of craftsmanship the House is known for, hand-painted and hand-set appliqué numerals rise from this deeply geometric stage, while a bead-blasted matte bezel frames the dial with understated style. Available in five colour variations—navy, grey, green, black and brown—each reference reveals a different personality as the textured guilloché surface catches light: modern yet timeless in navy, quietly sophisticated in grey, vibrant in green, boldly contemporary in black, or warm and refined in brown.
Powering the new Vanguard is a movement offering 42 hours of power reserve, paired with a hand-sewn alligator strap with a rubber underside for comfort and durability—luxury made practical for daily wear.
Exclusive to Asia Pacific, the new Vanguard celebrates Franck Muller’s spirit of innovation while honouring its heritage of form and craftsmanship. The House’s latest expression of bold modernity on the wrist is at once architectural yet expressive.
