Joining in on the celebration of the Year of the Rabbit, Franck Muller and #FR2 have partnered for a very special release — the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard watch, which marks the very first collaboration between the edgy, Tokyo-based streetwear label, and luxury Swiss horologer.

Reimagining Franck Muller’s signature Vanguard watch with #FR2’s iconic aesthetics, the resulting piece is an amalgamation between Japanese street fashion and avant-garde elegance. Presented in a high-contrast, monochromatic design, the special-edition timepiece retains the model’s hallmarked appliqué indices and technical specifications. As a nod to the streetwear label, the 7 o’clock hour marker is replaced with #FR2’s provocative Fxxking Rabbits motif. The motif, along with the skeletonized obelisk hands are also coated in Super-Luminova for a glow-in-the-dark effect.

A first for the brand, the tonneau-shaped case is constructed with carbon and glass fiber composite, which will be exclusive to Southeast Asia-exclusive models. Due to the nature of the material and its manufacturing process, every case will boast slightly different patterns and striations, making every watch unique. Additionally, the white nylon strap is emblazoned with co-branding in #FR2’s iconic font as a final touch.

The #FR2NCK Muller Vanguard watch is produced in a limited run of 800 pieces and will be available for purchase today, exclusively for Southeast Asia and Australia. For more information, visit Franck Muller’s official website.

Elsewhere in watches, Ulysse Nardin readies the New Classico Rabbit for the Lunar New Year.
