Franck Muller Vanguard Slim "Amador Montes" Limited Edition

Franck Muller has expanded its contemporary haute horlogerie offerings with a striking and unique new collaboration by introducing the Vanguard Slim Amador Montes. Developed alongside the renowned and innovative Mexican artist Amador Montes, this limited-edition collection blends the Swiss master watchmaker's signature tonneau-shaped architecture with the distinctive motifs and poetic visual universe of Oaxacan contemporary art.

Artistic Dial and Design Details

The dial serves as an intimate canvas that translates Montes's artistic vocabulary into mechanical poetry. Encased within the iconic tonneau-shaped Vanguard profile, the watch features a camel-colored, micro-blasted dial embedded with illustrations and subtle creative references from the artist. Further elevating its unique character, the handset is inspired by the delicate wings of a crane fly, while a vibrant pink accent on the crown introduces one of the signature chromatic shades found throughout Montes's extensive portfolio.

Movement and Technical Specifications

Driven by the in-house automatic Calibre MVT FM 708, the timepiece relies on 136 finely crafted mechanical components. Its self-winding mechanism draws energy effortlessly from the natural motion of the wrist, delivering a 42-hour power reserve while vibrating at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz). The collection is offered across four distinct variants split between two sizes and two case materials: a 41 mm stainless steel model limited to 30 pieces, a 41 mm 18K rose gold model limited to 10 pieces, a 35 mm stainless steel edition limited to 10 pieces, and a 35 mm 18K rose gold edition limited to 10 pieces, bringing the total worldwide production to just 60 timepieces.

The Franck Muller Vanguard Slim Amador Montes stands as a harmonious fusion of contemporary art and Swiss watchmaking precision. By bridging the gap between Latin American artistic expression and high horology, Franck Muller has created a collection that is deeply personal and visually captivating. Strictly limited to an allocation of 60 pieces globally, each watch comes complete with a custom-designed presentation box by the artist, cementing its status as an extraordinary collector's piece.
