‘Vanguard Racing Vegas’ timepiece revealed by Franck Muller
In honour of Formula 1’s return to Las Vegas this past weekend, the Swiss luxury watch maker has launched this limited edition product, decked out with all of the glitz and glam reminiscent of the Vegas strip.
Formula 1 returned to Las Vegas for the first time in 40 years for a Grand Prix on 18 November. A street circuit covering 6.2km of the Strip, it was a weekend of glitz and glamour in the only way Las Vegas knows how.
The Vanguard Racing Vegas Limited Edition is a reinvention of Franck Muller’s iconic Vegas complication. Activating the push-button on the watch’s crown releases a central hand that spins quickly around the face before landing on a randomly selected roulette number.
A perfect blend of the mechanical complexity, which serves to reinforce the ergonomics of the timepiece, and the showy yet chic design of Vanguard Racing collection, this new edition marries the motorsport aesthetic to the Casino world.
Inspired by the world famous ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign, the blue and red hands instantly grab attention and draw the eye to the delicately detailed face, complete with the legendary casino roulette wheel in the centre of the dial.
The Vanguard Racing Vegas Limited Edition dial is manufactured entirely by Franck Muller in Switzerland. This edition is limited to 23 timepieces and is available exclusively at Neiman Marcus.
