El #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard une la relojería de lujo suiza y la moda callejera japonesa al fusionar los elementos de cada universo, con los toques característicos de sus creadores. Esto es inmediatamente evidente en la esfera, donde la estética atemporal pero vanguardista de Franck Muller ha adquirido sensibilidades de estilo urbano. Una base de esfera blanca mate comienza estableciendo una estética de clave alta, sobre la cual se encuentran las manecillas negras, las marcas y los índices aplicados.

El aspecto monocromático de alto contraste se completa con una encantadora peculiaridad a las siete en punto. Aquí, Franck Muller ha situado el provocativo motivo Fxxking Rabbits de #FR2 en lugar de marcadores de hora, con el ojo rojo de un conejo como único punto de color en la esfera. En la oscuridad, el #FR2NCKMULLER Vanguard también ofrece un giro idiosincrásico. Super-Luminova se ha aplicado selectivamente de manera que las manecillas, los índices y el motivo gráfico del obelisco esqueletizado sobresalen de la esfera en ausencia de luz.

El diseño audaz y audaz se extiende al resto del reloj. Esto incluye la caja Vanguard en forma de tonel de Franck Muller, que se ha fabricado en un nuevo compuesto de fibra de vidrio y carbono, una novedad para la marca y que se reservará para el sudeste asiático, solo modelos exclusivos. Para crear el material ligero pero resistente, se combinan polvo de carbono y fibras de vidrio, antes de que la masa resultante se impregne con una resina adhesiva. Luego, la mezcla se hornea a 150 grados centígrados durante tres horas bajo 200 toneladas de presión, para finalmente producir un compuesto que luego se puede mecanizar en los componentes necesarios. Debido a las variaciones aleatorias en la forma en que se comprime la mezcla, cada caja de reloj ofrecerá un patrón único de estrías. El toque final aquí es la correa de nailon blanco, adornada con texto negro en un estilo tipográfico que resultará familiar para los aficionados a la moda callejera.

El trabajo de Franck Muller con #FR2 es un raro ejemplo de la colaboración del relojero suizo con marcas externas, que se ha limitado a un pequeño y selecto grupo de socios. “El fundador de #FR2, Ryo Ishikawa, no es solo una figura icónica en la escena del streetwear de Tokio”, comparte Sharon Lim, CEO de Franck Muller SEA. “Como la fuerza creativa detrás de Fxxking Rabbits, ha adoptado un enfoque multidisciplinario para las creaciones de su sello mientras mantiene un espíritu ferozmente independiente. Estos son valores en los que creemos y con los que nos identificamos en Franck Muller, lo que hace que esta exclusiva del sudeste asiático sea una colaboración natural. Por supuesto, el producto que hemos creado habla de eso”.

El #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard es una edición limitada de 800 piezas y está disponible en el sudeste asiático y Australia desde el 6 de enero de 2023.

Acerca de #FR2

#FR2, también conocido como Fxxking Rabbits, es una creación de Ryo Ishikawa, un anciano estadista en el mundo de la moda callejera japonesa, quizás mejor conocido por fundar la marca de moda Vanquish. Tras su establecimiento en 2014, #FR2 rápidamente atrajo seguidores con su característico conejo y los motivos “Fumar mata”, así como con las audaces impresiones fotográficas de sus productos. En el camino, Ishikawa también ha diferenciado a la marca con imágenes de campaña provocativas, que él personalmente tomó como lentes, y un enfoque irónico de la moda. Desde sudaderas con capucha y cámaras desechables dispensadoras de caramelos, la marca ofrece una gama ecléctica de prendas y objetos de arte que posiblemente sean los más íntimos de Ishikawa hasta el momento.

Franck Muller reveals a new feminine timepiece: The Vanguard™ Rose Skeleton featuring the iconic and timeless characteristics of the brand. The hand drawn roses highlight the concept of nature and a floral universe blooming Legal Human Chorionic Gonadotropin online in Australia: Goandotrophin with Cuscuz in a timepiece.

The Vanguard™ Rose Skeleton combines a harmonious design and a smart development. The technicity of the collection resides in the research of making the roses essential for the mechanism with an openwork dial. Here, the flowers are not ornaments placed on the movement, they are cut from the bridges and the bottom plate, connecting the mechanical movements together. They are esthetical decoration essential for the timepiece.

This innovative design is perfectly balanced with a highly feminine openwork dial, showcasing all the complications and the components of the movement. The owner can admire the enameled flowers painted by hand and the entire movement, as the studded balance and the handmade beveling, which gives the watch an aestheticism worthy of the highest watch movements.

The watch, entirely designed and manufactured in-house, has a small manual movement, enjoying a 4-day power reserve. The Vanguard Rose Skeleton embodies the spirit of modern yet refined women. Franck Muller demonstrates all its craftsmanship with this unique feminine masterpiece to give it a sophisticated soul.

The timepiece is available in different color variations, as well as in the famous color dreams version. For diamond lovers, they will be delighted with the 2 or 5 roses set with diamonds, as well as the diamond case.

FRANCK MULLER – The Grand Central Tourbillon

The Grand Central is an outstanding new collection, where the Tourbillon is in the spotlight, placed at the center of the timepiece. This beautiful central Tourbillon is housed in a redesigned Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex™ case. One of the complexities of the collection lies in the fact that we had to totally rethink the watch in order to move the Tourbillon from its original position at 6 o’clock to the center of the watch.

The Grand Central Tourbillon

In addition to this attractive and surprising decentering, Franck Muller designers and watchmakers had to find an innovative system to display the time in the center of the watch. Thus, they found an innovative way to place the hour and second hands around the Tourbillon cage, highlighting the beauty of the piece. Extremely rare for a Franck Muller Tourbillon collection, the watch holds a self-winding movement, thanks to an eccentric micro rotor, offering 4 days of power reserve.

Regarding the case, it has been redesigned so that the sapphire crystal goes all the way to the bracelet. The bezel which is separate from the case, allowing two-tone treatments. This design totally changes the aspect of the original Cintrée Curvex™ and fully highlights the beautiful curves of the watch. It also gives full visibility to the dial by limiting the amount of material used on the sides which is technically very difficult to achieve and giving the case a new modern line of life.

The open back allows to admire the pure traditional decorations as the Côte de Genève.

Franck Muller Casablanca

Limited Edition

This unique Franck Muller Casablanca personifies the spirit of collaboration and joint artistry with renowned modern artist Daniel Arsham and expert engraver King Nerd, Johnny Dowell, joining forces with Bamford Watch Department on this limited edition.

The style of the Casablanca blends perfectly with the creative ingenuity of Arsham, King Nerd and Bamford Watch Department. Dynamic, contemporary and classic, it is an enchanting model which has been redesigned with an intricacy of detail.

With a striking Arsham Studio Green dial and seconds hand, the Arsham Studio Monogram repeats throughout the design; from the printed dial to the embossed leather strap and hand engraving by King Nerd on the case of the watch. The caseback has also been engraved with an eroded Arsham Studio ‘A’ along with a CASABLANCA logo inspired by the film of the same name.

“It has been amazing to work with two great friends on the canvas of an iconic watch from a brand which resonates with us all. As always, Daniel Arsham and King Nerd brought something special and unique to the project and I am so proud to work with them on this Franck Muller Casablanca.”

George Bamford, Bamford Watch Department “I have always been inspired by the art world and I was naturally very happy to learn that Daniel Arsham was keen to interpret his art into one of our iconic models, the Casablanca. The result is astonishing and I am delighted with this exciting collaboration with Bamford Watch Department.” Nicholas Rudaz, COO, Franck Muller 5-piece limited edition, housed in a unique outer box which continues the Arsham Studio ‘A’ monogram design. Pricing available on request and available from Bamford Watch Department.

Daniel Arsham says, “I’ve always liked the Franck Muller Casablanca and this project actually started by asking George if he could make one custom for me. As we were talking about all of the different details on it, things got more and more intricate and complex. I started thinking about ideas for engraving onto the case and how we could work with Johnny and integrate the original design ethos of the dial with the Arsham Studio monogram. We wrapped the Arsham Studio Monogram all the way around the watch, from the dial to the embossed leather strap, into the case itself, with the engraving all done by hand. It’s a project that we’ve been talking about and working on for probably two years now and it is finally complete to share with the world.”

FRANCK MULLER - Lady Master Square

FRANCK MULLER

Lady Master Square

The Master Square™ collection is all about the geometrical purity and symmetry of the lines giving the collection a perfectly balanced design.

Harmony and grace are the watchwords when it comes to describing the design of the Master Square. Placed under the sign of elegance and refinement, the Master Square features beautiful contours that are showcased on the wrist of ladies with style and personality.

This year, the House of Franck Muller is pleased to present a watch whose geometrical purity of line lends it a perfectly harmonious appearance. Once again the Franck Muller designers have drawn on Art Déco, the rigour of the shape of its case in fact follows the principles of architecture applied at that time.

 

The same concern for refined elegance is to be found on the dial – white painted Roman numerals adorning the black sun-stamped translucent dial and, vice versa, black painted numerals contrasting with a white background.

Harmony and balance best describe the design of the Master Square.

The Vanguard Crazy Hours™ calls in for youthful and futuristic aesthetics. In its full diamond version, the distinctive shape of the Vanguard tastefully outlines the dial and applied Arabic numbers.

FRANCK MULLER – The Vanguard Crazy Hours™

An aesthetic that lives up to the eccentricity of the complication, with the iconic numbers of the Vanguard collection in pop colors such as orange, yellow, purple or blue. The colourful insert highlights the curve of the watch while the crown gives the final touch to the sporty elegance and robustness of the Vanguard.

The Vanguard Crazy Hours™ combines creativity and poetry in its full diamond and colourful version. The complication is all about a jumping hour module and an automatic movement. While the hour hand jumps to point the hour, the minute hand rotates in a traditional 60 minute cycle.

Franck Muller - The Cintrée Curvex Remember

The Remember collection is available for ladies and men. Housed in a Cintrée Curvex case, designed with the sun-stamped guilloché lacquered dial with hologram numbers and applied Arabic numbers.

Franck Muller – The Cintrée Curvex Remember

Once again, Franck Muller takes an uncommon approach to the very notion of time off the beaten track. An invitation to remember, to cultivate the fabulous and precious power of remembrance.
The Master of Complications states with his new collection Remember that no law of physics assures us that time only moves forward in a unidirectional way. A real facelift, this timepiece with its fabulous rejuvenating properties takes us into a world where time flows backwards.

Franck Muller – The Cintrée Curvex Remember

The collection Remember thus offers a new reading, presenting the hour figures in the opposite clockwise direction. Historically, the hands have always moved in chronological order from 1 to 12, rotating from left to right at the top of the dial and from right to left at the bottom, following the direction of movement of the shadow projected on the horizontal sundial in the northern hemisphere.

Thanks to a self-winding mechanism, the hour, minute and second hands will follow an unconventional rotation, making a circle in a “counter-clockwise” direction. A poetic complication
that invites us to take our time, as if we could extend our most beautiful moments to infinity.

Amazing, disconcerting and elegant, the collection Remember is available in 18k rose or white gold or stainless steel. Its dial, entirely set with diamonds or stamped guilloche with sun pattern,
finished with 20 layers of lacquer and the emblematic hologram numerals of the House, will seduce the wrists of women and men.

A timepiece that perpetuates the Franck Muller tradition while establishing a new philosophy that invites each aficionado of Haute Horlogerie to proclaim their independence from the established
order of time.
