The new Vanguard Yachting Crazy Hours watch, with its nautical coloring and details, embodies a new perspective on time. The unique "Crazy Hours" mechanism overturns preconceived notions of time, blending with the elegant and carefree voyage of a luxury yacht.

The Vanguard Yachting Crazy Hours is studded with details inspired by the voyages of luxury yachts. The case shape evokes the refined, sleek curves of a boat, and the crown guard on the case side adds a sporty touch. The highly legible dial is adorned with distinctive Vanguard-style numerals, creating a perfect harmony with the bold design. The 18KPG case is available with a blue dial reminiscent of the vast ocean or a black dial that evokes the fantastical world of the night sea, while the stainless steel case is available with a blue or white dial, reminiscent of the clear sky and floating clouds seen from a luxury yacht.

The three-dimensional indexes are randomly arranged, and when the minute hand, which makes one rotation every 60 minutes, points to the hour, the hour hand instantly jumps from the current time to the next. The "Crazy Hours" is a work that can be said to symbolize Franck Muller, a brand that combines technical excellence with a philosophical and playful spirit. Franck Muller has shattered the common concept that time flows continuously without a single moment's interruption... The "Crazy Hours" embodies the philosophical message that "time does not flow, it leaps forward."

The design of the VANGUARD is the ultimate pursuit of the beauty of objects woven with straight lines and curves, typical of the "Streamline Modern" Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s. Its bold, powerful form, with its thickness and curves, combines the hard light of metal with a velvety smoothness. The streamlined slits on both sides of the case, the new linear, three-dimensional index numerals on the dial, and the underlying hairline finish are deliberately reminiscent of industrial design.

Furthermore, the elegant proportions of the entire watch, despite the interplay of different materials (metal and leather) from the case to the strap, bring about a harmonious and perfect beauty reminiscent of natural objects. The outer surface of the strap is made of the finest, lustrous crocodile leather, while the lining is made of flexible rubber material sewn together by hand, with meticulous consideration given to the fit and comfort to the wrist.

This avant-garde watch, embodied in the passion of a genius watchmaker, is fused with the sophisticated world of yachts, and every detail evokes the freedom and liberation of a moment on the sea.
