Vanguard Diamonds And Damascus

The Vanguard platform transforms from an exquisite evening accessory , to a dark , daring , and masculine design in Damascus . Each one hand crafted by masters of their craft at Franck Muller ’ s own Genthod Watchmaking Atelier .
Muller offers models with blackened surfaces as well as lighter , natural Damascus-grain surfaces , each framing a Franck Muller manual or automatic movement . On all watches , even the buckle is made of Damascus steel .
The three-hand with date Vanguard Damascus Steel models arrive with a grosgrain leather strap . The Vanguard Damascus Steel Racing series exposes its movement with slanted , openwork markers and an inner seconds dial .
The most dramatic series here , the Vanguard Damascus Steel Skeleton . This stunning watch echoes the existing , contemporary Vanguard Skeletons , but with Damascus bridgework that matches the case around it . Inside you ’ ll find a Franck Muller manual-wind movement with seven-day power reserve .
