Some legacies extend far beyond the game. They inspire generations, unite a nation and become part of its collective memory. To celebrate one of Colombia's most respected football icons, Franck Muller created a unique Vanguard timepiece dedicated to Mario Yepes, transforming an extraordinary career into a singular work of Swiss Haute Horlogerie.
Developed as a true one of one creation, the watch was conceived as a personal tribute rather than a numbered limited edition. Built on the iconic Vanguard collection, it combines contemporary design with meaningful details inspired by Yepes' journey, creating a timepiece that reflects both craftsmanship and character.
Every element tells part of the story. Subtle accents inspired by the colors of the Colombian national team, the prominent number 3 on the dial and the inscription "Super Mario" pay tribute to the achievements and identity that defined his career on and off the pitch.
The tribute continues on the reverse side, where an exclusive artwork inspired by Mario Yepes is paired with the engraving "Éterno Capitán." Together, these details transform the watch into more than a collector's piece. They preserve the legacy of a leader whose impact continues to resonate beyond football.
At Franck Muller, exceptional watchmaking is about more than measuring time. It is about preserving stories that deserve to endure. This unique creation stands as a testament to the Maison's commitment to combining Swiss craftsmanship with meaningful storytelling, celebrating remarkable individuals through the art of Haute Horlogerie.
