For this magical and festive season, Franck Muller has enriched the iconic Vanguard™ collection for your dreams to come true. Distinguished by a sporty tonneau shape, the Vanguard™ calls in for clean and futuristic aesthetics with a one-of-a-kind winter-inspired design, just perfect for the holiday season: Franck Muller Vanguard Snowflake.

Drawing its inspiration from Franck Muller Watchland under a white coat in winter, the Vanguard Snowflake is emphasised by its delicate elements.

The sun-stamped dial is adorned with appliqué relief snowflakes in rose gold or in a silver colour according to the case material. The snowflakes are delicately cut out and are all unique on the dial, just like in real life.

To highlight the beauty of this collection, the numerals on the dial have been delicately replaced by eleven scattered diamonds, not equidistantly, aiming for the feeling of a real snowfall inside the timepiece.

The numeral 12 is the only one fully represented to symbolize December, the 12th month of the year, when the first snow arrives in Genthod and everyone’s mind is focused on the end-of-year celebrations and Geneva winter sports.

Housing a self-winding movement, the Vanguard Snowflake is available in stainless steel and rose gold, hand-set with diamonds or not.

While the Vanguard architecture remains true to its original design, the Vanguard Snowflake is completed by the iconic alligator strap in a pearly white to represent the glistening snow under a winter sun.
