If you thought last year’s collab was a one-off street-luxury flex, think again
Franck Muller and Tokyo streetwear provocateur #FR2 (yes, of the Fxxking Rabbits fame) are back—and this time, they’ve brought summer with them. Meet the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition, a triple-threat timepiece made for pool parties, rooftop sessions, and beach getaways.
This isn’t just a sequel to 2023’s all-black streetwear-meets-haute-horlogerie hit. The new drop cranks up the heat with serious summer vibes—think dial scenes with cheeky rabbit antics, a blazing “sun” date window at two o’clock (a slick nod to #FR2), and a new trio of high-impact colours: Heatwave Red, Surf Blue, and Tropical Green. Each shade is capped at just 300 pieces, so move fast if you want in.
The case keeps the signature Vanguard tonneau shape—bold, sculpted, and unmistakably Franck Muller—but this time in ultra-light glass fibre-composite. The colour treatment is a flex on its own: glass melted at 1,500°C is drawn into fine threads, cooled into sheets, soaked in pigment baths, and compressed into durable fibreglass blocks. The result? A featherlight case in saturated hues that pop hard under the sun.
On the dial, #FR2’s infamous Fxxking Rabbits are up to their usual mischief—surfing, chilling, and getting into tropical trouble beneath palm fronds. Super-LumiNova gives both the rabbits and skeletonised obelisk hands an after-dark glow, keeping the fun going well into the night.
Finishing the look is a nylon strap with a soft leather underside and a practical hook-and-loop closure—easy to rinse off, easy to wear, and detailed with graphic prints that echo Japanese streetwear roots.
Powering it all is the MVT 2536-SCDT2H automatic movement—a reliable workhorse built for no-fuss summer flexing. So, whether you're beach-bound or just dreaming of it, this is a watch that wears the season loud and proud.
