Artist co-branded items are coming! Unboxing the Franck Muller Vanguard bronze watch, the oxidation and discoloration effect is amazing

Have you ever thought that a watch is not only a tool for telling time, but also a symbol of culture? The design of the Vanguard Alquimiamc watch is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, especially the skull pattern. What is the story behind it? Let’s explore how this unique watch perfectly combines tradition and modern art and becomes a breath of fresh air in the market.

The design elements of the watch deeply reflect Mexican culture

In the international market, watch brands emerge one after another, but there are very few works that can really make people’s eyes shine. As a luxury product, in addition to the basic function of time, consumers value more the artistic value and brand story behind it.

The release of the Vanguard Alquimiamc watch breaks this routine. Its design elements deeply reflect the Mexican cultural heritage and are unique in the international market.

Alquimiamc is a well-known art institution in Mexico. Its founder, Marcos Cojab, is an internationally renowned architect and sculptor. He has represented Mexico in international art exhibitions many times and won many awards. The launch of the Vanguard Alquimiamc watch in cooperation with Franck Muller is another masterpiece of his perfect combination of Mexican culture and contemporary art.

From the appearance design of the watch, it is not difficult to find the profound heritage of Mexican culture. The center of the dial is decorated with Alquimiamc’s iconic skull pattern. This image is often seen in Mexico’s traditional festival Day of the Dead. It symbolizes time, life and transformation, and is reminiscent of the famous saying of the Western philosopher Haeckel, “Life is the resistance of living things to time.”

Skeletons may look scary, but they actually represent respect for life. In the eyes of Mexicans, dead souls are the same as living people. They entertain these returning souls with flowers, food and wine every year on the Day of the Dead.

The launch of this watch coincides with the “Art of Time” cultural initiative, a campaign aimed at raising public awareness and appreciation of the union of fine watchmaking and art. In this event, we can not only appreciate the works of the world’s top watchmakers, but also get close contact with them and understand the art of time behind them.

Judging from the performance of the watch, the Vanguard Alquimiamc watch is equipped with a self-winding movement independently developed by Franck Muller. The accuracy and stability of the movement are excellent in the industry. Although the case looks relatively thick, the Vanguard series of watches has actually kept pace with the times, maintaining the exquisite proportions of the classic style while taking into account the space required for the operation of the movement.

Bronze material is a highlight of the Vanguard Alquimiamc watch. This metal presents a low-key and luxurious golden color after being polished. Over time, a unique patina will gradually appear on its surface. This green mottled color seems to tell the passage of time, and the patina formed by each watch is unique, which further enhances its collection value.

The Vanguard Alquimiamc watch is a limited edition of 15 pieces jointly launched by Franck Muller and Marcos Cojab. Its launch marks the first powerful combination of high-end watchmaking and contemporary art. Perhaps we cannot use money to measure the value of art, but for collectors, each limited edition watch carries a unique meaning, just like those bronze sculptures, they will become more and more valuable as time goes by.

Conclusion

The Vanguard Alquimiamc watch is not just a luxury product, it is more like a work of art, carrying rich cultural connotations and unique collection value. For those who like watches, this is definitely a work worth paying attention to! What do you think of this watch that combines culture and design?
