Franck Muller and acclaimed Dutch artist Loes Van Delft unveil their latest exclusive timepiece, celebrating transformation and new beginnings. This limited-edition watch, adorned with Van Delft’s very first skull design, embodies bold artistry and symbolizes the cycle of change and renewal.
Franck Muller and renowned Dutch artist Loes Van Delft joined forces for the second time resulting in an exclusive, limited-edition watch inspired by the powerful symbolism of the ”skull’. With only 75 pieces available, this Vanguard model is a must-have for art and watch enthusiasts who embrace the bold and unconventional.
Skulls, for me, represent transformation and the beauty of endings and new beginnings, this watch is my way of embracing the cycle of life, change, and renewal. The power of simplicity and the balance between light and dark shaped this piece.

An Artistic Evolution in Design
Following the success of last year’s Vanguard™ Color Dreams Limited Edition LVD, which featured the playful character Pjipje, Loes Van Delft now explores a darker, more intense style. The dial of this new watch showcases an expressive skull framed by fiery colors and dynamic shapes. With bold contours and a dramatic color palette, Van Delft brings the power of transformation to life. The skull imagery symbolizes both an ending and a beginning, serving as a metaphor for change and renewal. The design exudes a raw and timeless beauty, with striking colors emphasizing the balance between light and dark in her work.The new design reflects her recent artistic evolution, inspired by her signature character Pjipje but also driven by a personal journey into darker themes like the skull.
When I learned that the previous collaboration was so warmly received by collectors around the world, I was incredibly grateful for this new design, I drew inspiration from the power of change and the beauty it holds. The skull stands for a new beginning and the opportunity to continually rediscover oneself.
