Founded in Geneva with the goal of crafting exclusive timepieces featuring intricate movements and original designs, Franck Muller charted another high when it introduced the Vanguard Rose Skeleton. This visual masterpiece showcases exquisite diamonds and intricately hand-painted roses emerging organically from its skeletonised bridges. The technicity of the collection lies in seamlessly integrating these roses into the mechanism, creating an openwork dial where the flowers are not mere ornaments but intricately cut from the bridges and bottom plate, intertwining with the mechanical movements. They serve as essential aesthetic elements, elevating the timepiece’s allure. Franck Muller’s commitment to hand finishing and craftsmanship is exemplified in the meticulous details and grand complications, setting the brand’s watches as paragons in the industry. (RM184,300)
