We all have that one thing that we absolutely won’t leave the house without. Whether we are out and about or shuttling between our numerous appointments, Franck Muller’s new manual-winding Vanguard Rose Skeleton ladies' watch is poised to be that perfect companion.

At a glance, the Vanguard Rose Skeleton’s intricately skeletonised design charms you with its exquisite combination of beautiful roses and sparkling diamonds. With roses and leaves that seem to grow naturally out of the carved bridges on the front as well as on the back, the watch's design showcases the watchmaker’s prowess in creating attractive timepieces that speak to modern women.

Admire not only the stunning juxtaposition of roses, leaves and diamonds but also the marvellous combination of design and function in the timepiece. In fact, the roses, which are painstakingly painted by hand by an artisan in Genthod, Switzerland, on the openworked dial are far from just being ornamental. They are actually essential for the watch’s mechanism.

Serving as bridges and plates, the beautifully painted or diamond-set petals enhance the structural integrity of the entire in-house calibre FM1540 VS15, which boasts a generous power reserve of about four days. This underlines the capabilities of the artisans and watchmakers at the marque to be able to meld functionality with aesthetics. A good demonstration of the brand’s technical prowess, the Vanguard Rose Skeleton is instantly transformed into a romantic horological bouquet with the beautiful floral theme.
