Franck Muller x Jisbar: Ultimate Fusion of Watchmaking and Street Art

A Crazy Hours Collaboration That Redefines Time

Luxury watchmaker Franck Muller teamed up with renowned French pop-street artist Jisbar to create one of the most unique timepieces ever seen: the Vanguard Crazy Hours Jisbar. This limited-edition collaboration takes Franck Muller’s iconic Crazy Hours complication and injects it with Jisbar’s vibrant, rebellious art style, turning the watch into a wearable art piece.

Presented at the prestigious World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie, this collaboration pushes the boundaries of both watchmaking and artistic expression. The Vanguard Crazy Hours Jisbar, housed in a V43 case, has been transformed into a miniature canvas where time itself is reinterpreted through Jisbar’s contemporary artistic vision.

“Jisbar revisits the dial and numerals of one of Franck Muller’s boldest and most emblematic collections, infusing it with his visual universe while preserving the conceptual essence of this extraordinary complication,” says Nicholas Rudaz, CEO of Franck Muller Geneva.

The Art of Defying Time

The Crazy Hours collection is already famous for breaking the rules of traditional timekeeping. With its signature “disordered jumping hours” function, the watch challenges how we perceive time. Jisbar takes this concept even further, designing a dial where each numeral is infused with his signature artistic elements, creating a seamless blend of mechanical precision and visual chaos.

“This collaboration is the realization of many years of work and reflection. I’ve always been fascinated by the boldness of Franck Muller, a brand that, like me, seeks to break conventions and push the boundaries of creation,” says Jisbar.

Born at the intersection of avant-garde horology and contemporary artistry, this piece does more than just tell time—it reinvents how time is experienced. The dials feature multiple layers of lacquer, giving depth and vibrancy to Jisbar’s reimagined numerals. Each tick of the second hand feels like a brushstroke, reinforcing the concept of time as an ever-evolving artistic movement.

A Limited-Edition Collection with Distinctive Flair

Available in five exclusive finishes—carbon, steel, titanium, black titanium, and rose gold—each version of the Crazy Hours Jisbar is limited to just 50 numbered pieces. This ensures that every collector who acquires one of these watches is securing a true rarity in both the watch and art world.

To make things even more special, Jisbar has created five original artworks to accompany each finish, further cementing the watch’s status as a true collector’s piece. The design of the watch is mirrored in Jisbar’s paintings, creating a direct link between wearable timepieces and wall-hung masterpieces. Each piece isn’t just an accessory—it’s an expression of time, individuality, and creativity.

“The watch inspires my artwork, and my artwork inspires the watch, creating a unique artistic dialogue,” explains Jisbar.

More Than a Watch—A Work of Art to Own

Each owner of the Crazy Hours x Jisbar doesn’t just get an exceptional timepiece—they receive an authentic piece of art. Every watch comes with a one-of-a-kind artwork fragment from a larger hand-painted linen canvas by Jisbar. This artwork, signed and authenticated by the artist, is integrated into the watch’s presentation box, making each purchase an immersive artistic experience.

Even the packaging itself is an extension of Jisbar’s explosive creative universe, designed to reflect the chaotic yet harmonious aesthetic of the watch. The presentation box is adorned with bold colors and intricate designs, ensuring that from the moment you open it, you are stepping into Jisbar’s artistic world.

Experience the Ultimate Blend of Creativity and Horology

Franck Muller’s Crazy Hours has always been a symbol of nonconformity, a watch for those who see time as an experience rather than a rigid structure. With Jisbar’s touch, this iconic timepiece is now an audacious statement of individuality, blending high-end watchmaking with the raw energy of contemporary street art.

Collectors and watch enthusiasts can witness this groundbreaking collaboration firsthand at the World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, where Jisbar will personally add finishing touches to his art pieces before they are fragmented into 50 exclusive, individually signed works. The event will also showcase a live painting session where Jisbar will create additional works inspired by the Crazy Hours collection.

This is more than just a watch release—it’s an event that celebrates artistic rebellion, high craftsmanship, and the fusion of tradition with the unexpected. If you’re looking for a watch that’s more than just a timepiece—a watch that makes a statement—then the Franck Muller x Jisbar Crazy Hours is the ultimate must-have.
