A shared spirit of boldness and unconventionality sparked the initial collaboration between Franck Muller and Japanese streetwear brand #FR2 in 2023. This summer, they have unveiled the limited-edition #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach collection. The rebellious rabbit symbol returns in vibrant colors, evoking bright summer days, golden sand, and ocean breezes.

The two brands introduce three cheerful shades inspired by the original Vanguard Beach collection: Heatwave red, Surf blue, and Tropical green. The Fxxking Rabbits appear in relaxed vacation poses: lounging under beach umbrellas, riding waves, or hidden among tropical foliage.

Each version captures a vibrant slice of summer, acting as a lively piece of art on the watch face. As night falls, the timepiece glows thanks to the rabbit motif and tower-shaped hands coated in Super-Luminova.

Each watch case undergoes a meticulous crafting process: glass is melted at 1,500°C and drawn into fine threads, then cooled and formed into sheets at 700°C. These sheets are immersed in special color baths to achieve the desired hues before being compressed into fiberglass composite blocks and finally machined into the finished cases.

Franck Muller’s craftsmanship ensures each version balances visual appeal with a lightweight wearing experience, feeling like a summer breeze on the wrist.

Behind the unconventional exterior lies the self-winding MVT FM 800-DT movement, a hallmark of Franck Muller's expertise. The tonneau-shaped case, crafted from fiberglass composite, exudes strength and elegance, making it suitable for everyday wear.

The watch features a nylon strap with a leather underside and a convenient Velcro closure for easy cleaning and sand resistance.
