Crafted in bronze in a size of 41 millimeters, the Vanguard Alquimiamc embodies Franck Muller’s constant pursuit of innovation and aesthetics. Chosen for its ability to transform with time, bronze develops a natural patina that renders every piece absolutely unique, a living metal that evolves alongside its wearer.

Powered by an in-house automatic movement, this timepiece retains the collection’s iconic proportions while offering remarkable finesse and comfort on the wrist. Its curved silhouette, emblematic of Franck Muller design, elegantly balances strength and refinement.

At the center of the dial appears .ALQUIMIAMC’s emblematic skull, a symbol deeply rooted in Mexican culture and reimagined here as a reflection on time, life, and transformation. The oxidized bronze finish turns the dial into a living canvas where craftsmanship and art meet.

The Vanguard Alquimiamc is presented in two distinct models: one featuring a minimalist dial that accentuates the sculptural beauty of bronze, and another adorned with numerals in vivid green, creating a striking dialogue between tradition and modernity.

The back of each watch reveals a second skull engraved with the artist’s signature, transforming every timepiece into a collector’s object that is both artwork and instrument of time.

 Limited to 15 pieces, the Vanguard Alquimiamc is available exclusively in Mexico, symbolizing a bridge between Geneva and Mexico City, between eternal craftsmanship and ephemeral art. This creation does not merely measure time; it interprets it, transforms it, and makes it tangible.
