#FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition.
“Franck Muller and #FR2 are both unapologetic and daring in their respective industries,” says Sharon Lim, CEO of Franck Muller Asia Pacific. “These shared values have given rise to a partnership that’s made waves across both the streetwear and luxury watch landscapes. With the Vanguard Beach Limited Edition, we explore a different dimension – one where fashion, function, and freedom collide.”
By way of its 300 proprietary, a formidable signature, congruently palpable by design and radical in its mission as an avant-garde sovereign, the collection is an indelible force, boundless in its reach to those who dare to wear distinction, straddling the line between art and horology, leisure and legacy. Contrary to its coastal distinction, its exemplification mirrors an exponential craftsmanship by the watchmaker’s distinct aspirations, an embodiment of calibre befitting for the discerning collector. A patron audacious enough to value artistry of an iconoclast, beloved by streetwear aficionados.
#FR2 Lauded Return: A Summer Ode
As master watchmaker Franck Muller and Japanese streetwear provocateur herald the noting of technical pedigree combined with the spirited irreverence of street culture, this dynamic duality once again manifests itself as a vibrant, limited-edition creation. Ultimately, it is truly where haute horlogerie meets the bold, unfiltered energy of urban fashion.
Far from the monochromatic stylings of its predecessor, the new Vanguard Beach model explodes in saturated colour-ways that capture the carefree allure of tropical escapes.Each version available in Heatwave Red, Surf Blue, and Tropical Green, comes in a strictly limited run of 300 pieces worldwide, presenting a premium ode to summer’s ephemeral pleasures.
Its glass fibre composite case – a marvel of material engineering that offers durability without compromise on lightness or vibrancy. Artisans melt glass at 1,500°C, stretch it into fine threads, infuse it with pigment, and compress it into bold, resilient forms to achieve its saturated tones.
The matte white dial continues this narrative of contrasts: high-concept minimalism juxtaposed with #FR2’s signature Fxxking Rabbits – cheekily reimagined under umbrellas, on surfboards, and amidst lush foliage. At 2 o’clock, the sun shines through the date window, winking at the brand’s subversive humour.
Craft That Commands Attention
Beyond the visual, the Vanguard Beach Limited Edition delivers Franck Muller’s renowned technical sophistication. Inside, the self-winding MVT 2536-SCDT2H movement offers 42 hours of power reserve, elegantly decorated with Côtes de Genève, sun-ray brushing, snailing, and perlage. True to its name, the Beach model is also engineered for wearability. A bold nylon strap—lined with leather and secured by a Velcro closure—wraps each piece, stamped with striking typographic accents that channel the spirit of Japanese street fashion.
According to Sharon Lim, CEO of Franck Muller APAC, “Both Franck Muller and #FR2 are fearless in their DNA – uncompromising, unorthodox, and designed to disrupt. This latest collaboration reflects that shared ethos, where haute horlogerie meets high-impact street culture.”
Exclusive to Asia Pacific
Launching 17 July 2025, the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition will be available exclusively across Asia Pacific – a strategic move that reflects the region’s growing appetite for cross-disciplinary luxury.
