Celebrating this magical and festive season, Swiss luxury watch brand Franck Muller presents the new Vanguard Snowflake series.
Distinguished by a sporty tonneau shape, these new Vanguard™ watches come with a distinctive winter inspired design. More precisely, they draw inspiration from Franck Muller Watchland in Genthod under a white coat in winter.
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. Housing a self-winding movement, the Vanguard Snowflake is available in stainless steel and rose gold, hand-set with diamonds or not.
Each Vanguard Snowflake watch is paired with a pearly white alligator strap representing the shimmering snow under a winter sun.
