VANGUARD CRAZY HOURS
The Vanguard Crazy Hours™ calls in for youthful and futuristic
aesthetics.
The material is into the spotlight, with the brushed stainless
steel case and dial. An aesthetic that lives up to the eccentricity
of the complication, with the iconic numbers of the Vanguard™
collection in blue, red, green or orange, that seem to strand out
from the brushed stainless steel dial.
The audacious numerals applied by hand and the colored
luminescent hands perfectly complement the dial and robust
winding crown.
The strap is artistically integrated into the case with the help
of two unseen screws. The rubber on the inside of the strap
effortlessly takes the shape of the wrist, while the alligator on
the top instills grace. Modeled to perfection, the handsome
blend of rubber and alligator creates absolute harmony with
the iconic Vanguard case.
Thanks to a patented mechanism, the central hour hand
literally jumps from one hour to the next, respectfully following
the randomly numbers on the dial. Thereby, after every 60
minutes, the hour hand would jump to the next correct
number. Meanwhile, the minute hand follows a conventional
60-minute cycle revolving around the dial.
Time becomes a value that is personal, individual, and unique.
You find yourself eagerly waiting at each 59th minute to
observe the Crazy Hours’ mesmerizing jump.
The Vanguard Crazy Hours establishes a new philosophy and
proclaims independence from the established order of time.
The lines of the case give a sporty and modern character to this
collection, which has been designed to express the concept of
time as an abstract construct.
The Crazy Hours complication offers a unique reading of time,
showing hour numerals in the most unconventional order.
