Franck Muller and Jisbar Show How Time Becomes Art

Franck Muller has unveiled one of its most striking artistic collaborations to date, reinforcing its position as a watchmaker unafraid to challenge convention.

Known as the “Master of Complications”, the maison has always combined technical brilliance with a bold design language.

Its partnership with contemporary artist Jisbar elevates this philosophy into the world of fine art.

Franck Muller marked a significant moment in its artistic journey with the official presentation of its exclusive collaboration with the Portugal-based contemporary artist Jisbar.

The event took place in the heart of Lisbon at the new Franck Muller Torres Joalheiros boutique, a stunning space that reflected the vibrant spirit of the partnership.

The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the Vanguard Crazy Hours Jisbar, a bold and colourful reinterpretation of one of Franck Muller’s most iconic timepieces.

Merging Haute Horlogerie with contemporary street art, this collaboration offers a unique expression of creative freedom and technical mastery.

This limited edition showcases exceptional craftsmanship, featuring an artistic dial, dynamic numerals, and a vibrant strap. The lively colour palette reflects both Jisbar’s signature style and Franck Muller's distinctive identity.

Available in Rose Gold, Carbon, Titanium, Black Titanium, and Stainless Steel, the collection demonstrates the maison’s commitment to both artistry and innovation.

Nicholas Rudaz, Franck Muller’s CEO, was present at the event to celebrate the collaboration, highlighting the brand’s commitment to artistic innovation and fine watchmaking.

Guests gathered to experience the fusion of Swiss horology and contemporary art in a creation that goes beyond timekeeping, offering a bold and wearable work of art.

At the centre of this collaboration is the Crazy Hours complication, already one of Franck Muller’s most recognisable achievements. Its unconventional arrangement of numerals has long challenged perceptions of how time should be read.

Jisbar’s interpretation injects it with vibrant energy, turning technical ingenuity into a dynamic artistic statement.

The Lisbon presentation was a demonstration of how fine watchmaking can transcend its discipline and enter the cultural dialogue, merging art, craftsmanship, and exclusivity in equal measure.

With only 50 examples available worldwide, the Vanguard Crazy Hours Jisbar is destined for the collections of those who appreciate rarity as much as innovation. It represents a philosophy that places creative freedom alongside horological mastery.
