Replica Franck Muller: Beyond Life
Franck Muller embraces bold sizes and a spirit of adventure with his growing Vanguard collection.
In 1992, at the beginning of the current mechanical watchmaking renaissance, Franck Muller launched the Cintrée Curvex case. It wasn't long before the pronounced curves of the tonneau-shaped case encircled wrists around the world, as the Cintrée Curvex became one of the most recognizable watch cases of the modern era.
More than 20 years later, in 2013, Franck Muller launched the Vanguard collection as a sporty heir to the Cintrée Curvex tradition. The Vanguard shares the curvilinear profile of its predecessor, but it amplifies the original proportions of the case, which measures 44mm wide and nearly 54mm high. Unabashedly bold, the design perfectly calibrates a legendary personality.mens replica watch
obvious difference
One of the most unconventional members of the Vanguard family also happens to be the newest addition – the Vanguard Gravity Skeleton Tourbillon. Introduced this year, Franck Muller makes full use of the extra space in the case to accentuate the oversized tourbillon, turning the dial into a kinetic sculpture that cannot be ignored.
In Gravity Skeleton, the avant-garde design of the tourbillon includes the balance and mainspring not aligned with the central axis of the tourbillon cage. Instead, they are off-center, which gives the device a unique elliptical orbit as it rotates every 60 seconds.
The engineering required to perfect such an advanced design is impressive, but the minimalist approach takes the technical achievement even further. Using open space as a design element helps to focus attention on the inner beauty of the skeleton movement. Its bridges have been greatly reduced, leaving the thin metal limbs that make up the hand-wound caliber.discount replica watch
Here, the Gravity Skeleton Tourbillon is coated in black PVD, with a stealthy look to the bridges and titanium case. But what really energizes the design is the contrast between those dark elements and the brightly colored tourbillon frame and matching hands, which are available in a variety of colours.
understand all angles
Franck Muller continues to explore his fascination with skeletonized movements with another member of the Vanguard collection: the 7-day power reserve skeleton watch. The company has previously released a 7-day power reserve in its Cintrée Curvex and round case. In these versions, the design draws on traditional watchmaking techniques, especially the organic ornate appearance of the skeletonized bridges. In Vanguard, however, the design employs industrial edges, juxtaposing the sharp angles and straight lines of the bridges to guide the viewer's eye to the center of the watch. Circular elements such as the balance wheel and barrel are grouped near the center for a softer look.
The watch's hand-wound movement is in-house, artfully set into the iconic Vanguard case, which is available in five different materials: white gold, rose gold, stainless steel, carbon and titanium.Jacob and Co Astronomia DRAGON
perspective style
Franck Muller ushered in another watch in the Vanguard series this year, launching a large calendar watch. The movement is not skeletonised, but still stands out due to the lack of a dial. This exposes parts of the automatic movement, which are adorned with the traditional Côtes de Genève pattern for a beautiful look. As a bonus, the open design also brings into focus the numbered wheel that makes up the watch's titular complication.
Also visible are the inner workings of the chronograph, which come to life when the pusher on the side of the case is pressed to stop, start and reset the chronograph functions. When running, the chronograph's subdial at 3 o'clock counts the minutes, while the red-tipped central hand ticks the seconds.
growing family
In addition to these professional timepieces, the Vanguard collection also features a range of replica watches for sale for men and women, ranging from basic chronographs to tourbillons.
No doubt, this version of Lady Vanguard Color Dreams isn't shy at all. The gleaming rose gold case is set with rows of diamonds, setting off the white dial with guilloche undulations. Raised and slender Arabic numerals—a hallmark of the Vanguard collection—are rendered in bright and cheerful iridescent colors that Franck Muller called Color Dreams. A perfect example of grab-and-go convenience, the chic look is powered by a quartz movement that requires no winding and can run continuously for over a year. The Lady Vanguard collection features cases in stainless steel, white gold or rose gold.
The most recent addition to the Vanguard family is also one of its most recognizable. The Yachting collection features a lively nautical style, thanks to the wind rose design incorporated into each dial. This navy pattern is partly inspired by Franck Muller Yacht, which was created in 2015 by the Italian marine group exclusively for the watch company.
The Vanguard Yachting collection includes a wide range of chronograph complications, from date and chronographs to tourbillons. Because Franck Muller values diversity, each watch is available in stainless steel, rose gold or white gold.
It is often said that fate favors the brave. That could easily be the tagline for Vanguard, a collection of watches that aren't afraid to tap into the power of personality.replica Urwerk Watches
