The Vanguard Crazy Hours, featuring a combination of 18KPG and silver for a striking elegance, is now available in a limited edition of 50 pieces each with a black or white dial.

The Crazy Hours, with its hands jumping between random numbers, liberates people from the stereotype that time progresses in a regular order. Since its debut in 2003, the watch has surprised and inspired people. The Vanguard Crazy Hours has evolved into a challenging design that could be described as a "rebellion against time," combining the "philosophy of time" with the aesthetic sense of streamlined moderne American Art Deco to create a new world of dress watches unique to Franck Muller.

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 shattered the common notion that time flows continuously without a moment's interruption. The Crazy Hours embodies the philosophical message that "time does not flow, it leaps." Until then, Franck Muller had challenged the limits of watchmaking technology as a "Master of Complications." With the Crazy Hours, however, the brand solidified its position as a "philosopher of time," proposing new appeal through the way the passing of time is presented.

The appeal of the Crazy Hours lies in the mechanism by which the hour hand jumps. This places an intense strain on the watch, necessitating exceptional watchmaking skill. Furthermore, a firm gaze is required to read the time. Anticipating that frequent dial glances would inevitably increase, Franck Muller created a beautiful dial featuring guilloché and hidden numerals.

When you wear the Vanguard Crazy Hours, you will come into contact with the intelligence of the model story surrounding its mechanism, feel the uncompromising craftsmanship that pays attention to detail, and notice the existence of a rich time that is free from preconceived notions.
