Franck Muller's WPHH Novelties 2021 - VANGUARD™ ROSE SKELETON

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 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.
