Franck Muller's oversized tonneau-shaped collection is beloved by collectors and appears in countless iterations, including camouflage, skeletonized movements, flying tourbillons and world timers. To reinvigorate its Yachting watches, the brand added a power-reserve indicator in a motif shaped like a ship's gauge to the dial, which required reworking and redesigning the movement. Watchmakers took advantage of this opportunity to add even more nautical references both in the movement and on the dial. The bridges of the open-worked, manual-wind, 241-part movement are inspired by anchors and are crafted in sea-blue anodized aluminum. The seconds indication at 6 o'clock is shaped as a compass rose star with red hand. The 44mm watch features an inner chapter ring with the compass points and degrees listed on it. Water resistant to 30 meters, the watch is finished with a sporty, hand-sewn nylon strap.

Enabled by its incredible in-house capabilities, Frank Muller pushes the barrier of watchmaking to produce classic watches with innovative complications. Despite raising the horological bar by creating the Aeternitas Mega, the most complicated wristwatch in the world, Frank Muller continues to strive with unfailing dedication to detail. This is exemplified further through the dials, each requiring 20 layers of lacquer and an hour drying period before they are hand-painted with Luminova numerals. All cases are also polished by hand and dexterous efforts required to fashion the diamond cases.Recently birthed from this remarkable brand, the Franck Muller Vanguard Sapphire builds on the bold colors of the Vanguard collection to promote diversity and inclusivity. Encased in sleek stainless steel and mechanized by a 174-part manually wound movement, the complexity of this watch spans as vast as its rainbow palette.
