The blue journey begins, Franck Muller is thrilled to announce a magical new collaboration with the beloved pop culture icons, The Smurfs. In celebration of the upcoming film The Smurfs 2025, Franck Muller introduces the Vanguard Smurfette, a limited edition that blends Swiss Haute Horlogerie with whimsical storytelling.
WAW! The Vanguard Smurfette collection! Marking the first-ever partnership between Franck Muller and The Smurfs , this limited edition brings to life Smurfette’s charm through three playful yet sophisticated timepieces, each housed in the emblematic Vanguard case. Known for its refined curves and elegance, the Vanguard silhouette offers both visual allure and exceptional comfort.
The Vanguard Smurfette in blue exudes bold confidence, featuring a vibrant Smurf-blue dial that pays homage to the character’s signature hue. The hand-applied numerals, outlined in blue, are beautifully matching with a striking blue strap. For a more whimsical expression, the Vanguard Smurfette is available with a white white dial featuring hand-painted pink numerals and a soft pink strap, offering a touch of playful charm. The Vanguard Smurfette in pink version delights with a lively floral motif surrounding Smurfette, set against a playful dial with pink numerals. Paired with a vivid pink strap, this edition radiates playful elegance and celebrates Smurfette’s blossoming personality.
Inspired by the film’s storyline, where Smurfette, voiced by Rihanna, leads a rescue mission to save Papa Smurf (John Goodman), the collection reflects the theme that time shapes destiny. Every piece comes in a custom Smurf-themed box designed as a magical portal between worlds.
Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the Vanguard Smurfette is available at Franck Muller boutiques and online at www.watchespedia.com, with deliveries starting September 25, 2025.
