While many high-end watch brands offer masterful complications, intricate bezels, insane tourbillons, and other features, there is never anything quite as cool as when a brand presents a finely completed skeletonized timepiece to the market.

This is exactly the case for Franck Muller’s new Vanguard Tourbillon Skeleton, which boasts a skeletonized movement. The process is used to reduce every piece of the movement down to its lightest and thinnest possible size to create one of the most difficult and highly sought-after forms of movement decoration.

The Vanguard Tourbillon boasts maximum skeletonization for an almost hollowed-out look that has been designed to mimic the beams seen on a suspension bridge. With no true dial to speak of, the effect of the Calibre FM 2001 can be completely seen through the crystal of the watch face. Also seen is the tourbillon carriage that keeps the same style as the rest of the watch and boasts the F and M initials for Franck Muller worked into the design.

The movement and its bridge-like appearance are created in the same fashion as the thin and unusually shaped case, coming in either pink gold, carbon, titanium, or stainless steel. This is then attached to either a rubber-lined nylon or crocodile leather strap with a matching finished buckle.
