Franck Muller: Vanguard Yachting Anchor™ Skeleton

Inspired by the dynamic Vanguard™ collection, the Vanguard Yachting Anchor™ Skeleton develops a creative vision of time with affirmed nautical details. Featuring all the seafaring details from the deep blue to the wind rose adorning the dial, the sea world inspired each delicate detail of this newly born timepiece.

The openworked bridges have been designed to accentuate the architecture of the watch and reveal the wholly in-house manufactured movement.

This journey partner is available in 18k rose, yellow and white gold, stainless steel and bronze.

With the Vanguard Yachting Anchor™ Skeleton, Franck Muller created the perfect alchemy between the traditional mechanical movement and the watchmaking performance of the seven days power reserve.

An ideal sporty and elegant timepiece for sea lovers, with bridges inspired by anchors and a second at 6 o’clock which represents a compass rose.

A balanced design showcasing the passion for crafts and art of details characteristic of the Franck Muller manufacture.
