Franck Muller takes immense pride in its role as the official timepiece sponsor for The Colorado Grand, the renowned vintage car rally that unfolded amidst Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes from September 11th to 16th. This spectacular event witnessed the participation of over 100 vintage automobiles.
The Colorado Grand, an annual charitable event, presents a remarkable assembly of 100 “Cars of Distinction,” all dating before 1960, embarking on an exhilarating journey spanning over 1000 miles through the scenic byways of Colorado. The rally’s epic 5-day adventure concludes in the picturesque town of Vail.
In a heartfelt tribute to this extraordinary gathering, Franck Muller has created four distinct timepiece models, each limited to only 34 pieces in honor of the 34th edition of The Colorado Grand. These four timepieces pay homage to the remarkable vintage cars and will be exclusively available through select retail partners in North America.
The Vanguard Racing Colorado limited edition draws inspiration from the art of automotive design, incorporating intricate details from vintage cars into each timepiece. These exquisite self-winding movements are encased within the iconic Vanguard case. The dials feature bold, hand-painted numerals and a seconds counter positioned at the heart of each timepiece.
Automotive enthusiasts will be captivated by the meticulous craftsmanship displayed in these exceptional timepieces. Drawing inspiration from the automotive industry, the watch dials showcase a finely reproduced “perlage” decoration at their center. Inspired by vintage car counters, the second counter introduces an additional complication to the watch, with a dual seconds reading achieved through the inclusion of an extra seconds hand, thoughtfully crafted in the color palette of the Colorado Grand logo. The perfectly integrated straps feature elements reminiscent of vintage cars.
With this distinctive collection, Franck Muller not only creates exceptional pieces for The Colorado Grand but also has the distinguished honor of being the exclusive watch sponsor for this race. This limited edition will be cherished by those who appreciate simplicity and sporty elegance. The Colorado Grand Collection offers various materials, including stainless steel, brushed titanium, and rose gold.
