FRANCK MULLER PRESENTS THE VANGUARD LADY CRAZY HOURS JISBAR

The Master of Complications and JISBAR, a French artist renowned for his distinctive pop-street language, have unveiled a new interpretation of the Crazy Hours x JISBAR. Conceived with a feminine expression, this extension of 2025’s original creation stands out through new proportions and a revisited palette, while preserving the artistic intensity that defines both names.

Since the beginning of their partnership, Franck Muller and JISBAR have shared a common vision: that of a natural dialogue between Haute Horlogerie and contemporary art. Here, the timepiece moves beyond timekeeping – bringing together technical mastery, emotion, and creative expression. With Franck Muller, this vision takes on a unique dimension: the dial becomes a surface of expression, and the watch, a highly artistic collector’s item.

“A watch dial is the most constrained format there is. That’s also why it’s the most exciting—when
art fits into 32 millimetres, it becomes portable.” — JISBAR

Crazy Hours Revisited

With JISBAR, this mechanical complication meets a new kind of complication: visual and artistic. Two forms of boldness that respond to each other, respect each other, and elevate one another. Says Franck Muller CEO, Mr Nicholas Rudaz, “Franck Muller created the jumping hour complication. JISBAR added an artistic visual complication.”

The dial has been designed as a work of art. Twelve elements from JISBAR’s universe were selected, deconstructed, and recomposed to create a unique composition, establishing a direct link between contemporary art and Haute Horlogerie. Each detail evokes an artwork, each artwork extends a narrative, and together they form a singular visual presence on the wrist.

Crazy Hours is one of the most emblematic and recognisable complications in the history of Franck Muller. Its principle: numerals arranged in a seemingly random fashion on the dial, with a jumping hour complication which leaps to life each hour to display the correct time in a visual ballet as surprising as it is elegant. Since its creation, it has become far more than a technical feat; it remains a signature of the House and a true celebration of the creativity of the Swiss manufacture to this day.

This year’s watches for ladies are available in a 32 mm case of rose gold or stainless steel, with tones revisited by JISBAR in a more feminine register, while maintaining the chromatic intensity and graphic strength that define his universe. The new renditions are not about softening, but about shifting creative expression: the same visual power, a new aesthetic reading.

This Vanguard Lady Crazy Hours Jisbar is a limited edition comprising 25 rose gold pieces in 32 mm, as well as 50 steel pieces in 32 mm.

“The masculine version spoke of power. This one speaks of something even rarer: strength that does not need to justify itself.” — JISBAR
