Franck Muller launches the Vanguard Slim Amador Montes

Franck Muller has launched the Vanguard Slim Amador Montes, a collaboration that brings the Manufacture's contemporary watchmaking language together with the distinctive artistic universe of Mexican artist Amador Montes. The partnership transforms the dial into a canvas, where colour, form and emotion meet the precision of Haute Horlogerie.

With more than 25 years of experience and over 130 exhibitions across the Americas, Europe and Asia, Amador Montes has established himself as a recognised figure in the Mexican contemporary art scene. His distinctive visual language now meets Franck Muller's watchmaking expertise in a collaboration shaped by creativity, emotion and craftsmanship.

For this collaboration, Franck Muller and Amador Montes brought some of the most representative elements of the artist's universe directly onto the dial. The recurring crane fly motif inspired the design of the hands, while the camel-coloured, micro-blasted dial incorporates illustrations and personal references from the artist. A pink crown introduces another signature colour from his work, creating a composition that is both personal and immediately recognisable.

The Vanguard Slim Amador Montes is available in rose gold and stainless steel, in 35 mm and 41 mm cases, and is accompanied by two interchangeable straps: one pink, one camel. A special presentation box designed by Franck Muller and Amador Montes extends their artistic universe beyond the watch itself.

Each Vanguard Slim Amador Montes timepiece is brought to life through the meticulous work of Franck Muller's watchmakers, who assemble and adjust every component with exceptional precision. This dedication to detail reflects the very essence of Haute Horlogerie, where technical mastery, patience and craftsmanship come together to create a watch of remarkable character and refinement.

At the heart of the Vanguard Slim Amador Montes, an in-house automatic movement powers the timepiece. Its self-winding mechanism draws energy from the natural movement of the wrist, combining mechanical precision with Franck Muller's watchmaking expertise and technical mastery.

Renowned for its grand complications and innovative approach to watchmaking, Franck Muller has continually pushed the boundaries of Haute Horlogerie. From movements to cases and dials, each creation reflects the expertise of the brand's engineers, artisans and master watchmakers.
