Franck Muller takes pride in the unveiling of a truly extraordinary collaboration with the exceptionally talented Dutch artist, Loes Van Delft. This collaborative effort has given birth to the Vanguard Color Dreams Loes Van Delft Limited Edition, a timepiece that transcends the boundaries of conventional watch design. The resulting masterpiece is a unique blend of Franck Muller’s distinct world and Loes Van Delft’s artistic vision.
The dial of the Vanguard Color Dreams Loes Van Delft Limited Edition is an exquisite canvas where the artist’s signature converges with Franck Muller’s iconic Color Dreams numerals. This remarkable dial becomes a realm of pure imagination, featuring the beloved character, Pjipje, as the focal point. Pjipje seamlessly integrates into Franck Muller’s universe, harmoniously coexisting with the iconic Color Dreams numerals.
A paramount challenge in this collaboration was the pursuit of the perfect watchmaking technique to transfer the intricate artwork onto the dial. Additionally, the meticulous selection of 26 distinct colors presented an artistic hurdle that was adeptly surmounted, resulting in a captivating and vibrant timepiece.
Encased in the renowned Vanguard case measuring 43 millimeters, crafted from titanium with a black PVD treatment, this limited edition comprises only 50 timepieces, encapsulating the essence of contemporary art. Housing an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, the watch promises to enchant and captivate every wrist it graces.
In a homage to craftsmanship and creativity, each collector will be privileged to receive a 90 x 90 cm art print, personally signed by the esteemed Loes Van Delft. This thoughtful inclusion ensures an authentic connection between the collector and the artist, creating an immersive experience that goes beyond the boundaries of the wrist. To further elevate the exclusivity of each piece, every artwork is numbered to correspond with the watch number, establishing an unparalleled sense of harmony between the two worlds.
