Franck Muller’s Vanguard design represents a sleek and sporty evolution of the brand’s iconic Cintrée Curvex tonneau case. Its streamlined profile eliminates traditional lugs, allowing the hand-sewn alligator strap to flow seamlessly into the case and enhancing the watch’s dynamic, contemporary presence.
Housed within the lightweight titanium case, the precise and robust automatic caliber operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. Entirely manufactured in-house, the movement is meticulously finished, with hand-bevelled components, circular graining, and elegant Côtes de Genève decoration throughout.
The architecture of the Vanguard Grande Date Chronograph is bold and assertive, underscored by its openworked dial, which reveals the chronograph’s mechanical complexity. This technical display is further enhanced by a playful, modern oversized date aperture, while the damascened backdrop introduces a refined layer of elegance, an unmistakable hallmark of Franck Muller’s watchmaking artistry.
