Franck Muller: Vanguard Skeleton Grande Date Chronograph

The architecture of the Vanguard™ Skeleton Grande Date Chronograph is very robust, strong and sporty. The Vanguard™ Skeleton Grande Date Chronograph was fully developped in the Franck Muller workshops. The Chronograph includes seconds counter in the center, minutes counter at 3 o'clock. The dial encompasses applique indexes meticulously painted applied by hand. Côtes de Genève on the bridges as its movement decoration.

The Vanguard ™ Skeleton Grande Date Chronograph is accentuated by the power of its openwork dial and by the perfect proportions of its curves which allow to glimpse all the components of the piece.

Vanguard Collection

Distinguished by a sporty tonneau shape, the Vanguard™ calls in for clean and futuristic aesthetics with a one-of-a kind design. With refined taste, inserts on both sides of the case tastefully match the color on the numerals and strap for utmost elegance and style. The strap is cleverly integrated inside the case in order to maintain and extend the curved aspect of the timepiece, the result being a stunning timepiece with a unique design.
