For the Bold
When two icons of precision and power collide, the result is more than a timepiece – it’s a statement. The McIntosh x Franck Muller collection celebrates 75 years of moving culture through unapologetic design and emotional engineering. Each watch fuses McIntosh’s bold American attitude with Franck Muller’s masterful Swiss artistry – for those who don’t follow trends, but create them.
These are not watches for everyone – and that’s exactly the point.
Meticulously handcrafted at Franck Muller Watchland in Geneva, Switzerland, only 75 of each were made – an ultra-limited homage to our legacy. With its captivating shape, the Franck Muller Vanguard™ collection delivers clean and innovative aesthetics. The distinctive applique numerals have been meticulously hand-polished and hand-brushed. The dial and crown give the final touch to the sporty elegance and unique aesthetic of the watch. The strap is cleverly integrated inside the case in order to maintain and extend the curved aspect of the timepiece, the result being a stunning and sporty timepiece with a unique design.
