Franck Muller’s Vanguard Vegas Racing celebrates its debut in the city of sin alongside Formula One racing.
The Vanguard Vegas Racing, a collaboration between Franck Muller and Neiman Marcus, encapsulates the heart-pounding thrill of Formula One racing at 215 miles per hour on the track with the excitement of high-stakes nights spent in the casinos.
Crafted with a forged carbon fiber case, the new Vanguard mirrors the materials used in manufacturing F1 race cars. Each case undergoes precise carving by CNC machines followed by meticulous hand polishing, transforming the robust forged carbon blocks into the iconic Vanguard style. Throughout these processes, the unique patterns of forged carbon form waves and layers, rendering each timepiece truly one-of-a-kind.
Beneath the sapphire crystal windshield of this timepiece lies one of Franck Muller’s more intriguing complications: the patented roulette wheel. With just a simple press of the integrated button on the crown, it rapidly spins the dial and lands on a lucky number at random. Under the hood is an exquisitely decorated movement, boasting a maximum frequency of 28,800 beats per hour and running for over 40 hours when fully wound.
The Vanguard Vegas Racing seamlessly blends the spirit of motorsports with the thrill of gaming, eloquently expressing function and style in an extremely precise manner, merging the worlds of luxury horology, high-stakes gaming, and world-class racing into one remarkably expressive timepiece.
Even the color scheme is tied to Las Vegas, with hues of blue, red, and yellow directly inspired by the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign.
