Renowned independent Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller has introduced its latest region exclusive creation, the Vanguard Lady Jewel Asia Exclusive. Featuring dynamic details and sensual characteristics, it is the perfect timepiece for the horologist who is looking to add some femininity and grace to their collection.
For those unfamiliar, this is actually a revitalisation of the iconic Vanguard Lady. The latest addition by the Master of Complications differentiates itself from its predecessor by including a handset diamond and sapphire studded dial and case, a testament to Franck Muller’s craftsmanship in haute horology. With only 64 pieces produced for the region, the Vanguard Lady Jewel Asia Exclusive is set to be a sought after piece for watch connoisseurs and novices alike.
Staying true to the original design of the Vanguard construction, the Vanguard Lady Jewel Asia Exclusive’s case boasts 278 brilliant-cut diamonds and 22 sapphires set in an 18k rose gold or stainless steel finishing. Adding even more sparkle to the timepiece, the dial is adorned with 67 brilliant-cut diamonds and 92 sapphires, complete with meticulously hand-painted applique numerals.
Indeed, this timepiece is a manifestation of Franck Muller’s dazzling joie de vivre, as exquisite multi-faceted jewel catch and bend light, creating a dramatic dance of reflection and refraction, a visual feast for the wearer.
There is a sense of refinement as the remarkable design demonstrates the Manufacture’s technical abilities, as evidenced by a self-winding movement with bidirectional rotor system and a 38-hour power reserve. Avid horologists will be delighted by the collection as it also features matching hand-sewn alligator straps and winding crowns in a myriad of hues.
The Vanguard Lady Jewel Asia Exclusive will be available in selected Franck Muller boutiques and watch retailers across Asia.
