Franck Muller has always broken new ground in watchmaking. The most brilliant genius in his creative activities lies in fusing the complex and precise grand complication mechanism with the beautiful silhouette that envelops the advanced technology.

About 30 years have passed since the invention of Tonneau Curvex, the world's first three-dimensional curve, and now "VANGUARD" is advocating a new "shape of time" as a new standard for Franck Muller.

Such a "Vanguard" collection is now very fulfilling. Here are some of our recommended models.

Vanguard 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton
V45S6SQT 5NNR ¥6,105,000 (tax included)

It is a high spec model with an amazing power reserve of approximately 168 hours (approximately 7 days). While it is a big power, it is driven by a classic low-speed beat regulating and anti-vibration mechanism of 18,000 vibrations per hour, while maintaining the precision and stability required in modern times. It's a product of sorts.

A typical hand-wound watch with a long power reserve needs to be wound hundreds of times to get it fully wound. It has an advanced design to suppress it, and achieves a smooth and powerful winding that can be fully wound at about 40 rotations. Franck Muller's commitment to various practical mechanisms that cannot be seen but can be felt the more you use it, has always impressed me.

The V-shaped bridge, which is symmetrically arranged in a skeleton design, evokes the structure of a huge building like a suspension bridge. Vanguard's excellent styling, which weaves curves and straight lines, is expressed with the avant-garde aesthetic of the Machine Age seen in the Art Deco style of the 1930s called "Stream Line Modern".

Vanguard 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton
V45S6SQTJ ACBL ¥4,730,000 (tax included)

It is also a model with different materials (stainless steel) of the Vanguard 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton equipped with "Caliber1740VS". The pattern has a strong sporty color that is different from the solid feeling of the gold model. It is a stylish model with a refreshing color scheme that seems to be especially useful in the summer, but you can change the strap to navy for a stylish look.

vanguard rising sun
V45SCDTRSUN ACRG ¥1,210,000 (tax included)

As its name suggests, it is a model with an impressive dial design like the rising sun with the Franck Muller logo at 12 o'clock. The coloring and fretwork are so powerful that they represent the heat emitted from the sun.
After all, red looks cool on a black base! I think there are many people who like this taste.

Vanguard Crazy Hours
V45CH JAPANISTG AC5N ¥2,530,000 (tax included)

As a fantastic new approach to the concept of time, "Crazy Hours" displays the time by randomly arranging the numbers 1 to 12 on the dial and jumping the hour hand. Since its birth in 2003, this popular series, counted as one of Franck Muller's masterpieces, has appeared as the long-awaited Vanguard. It is one that has a philosophical side while being full of Franck Muller's playfulness.

All of the products introduced this time are V45 men's (44.00mm × 53.70mm) size, which feels quite large, but is in the middle of Vanguard's men's models. Isn't it an exquisite sense of size that makes the curvaceous beauty of the arm stand out the most? Please try the real thing at the store.
