Franck Muller Vanguard

Franck Muller Vanguard in brief

The Vanguard is the family Franck Muller introduced in 2013, carrying the brand's curved tonneau case tradition into a sportier line. It quickly became the brand's best-known model.

The barrel-shaped case curving along the wrist, the large Arabic numerals and the rubber-lined fabric strap are the Vanguard's signature. The family offers a very wide choice, from skeleton (open-worked) dials to colored Color Dreams numerals, from carbon to rose gold.

Can the strap be changed?

Yes, Vanguard straps attach to the case with a dedicated connection and can be changed.

What kind of material is a carbon case?
