As the Official Timepiece sponsor of the Colorado Grand classic car charity tour, Franck Muller annually introduces special limited edition watches to commemorate the race. 
Held during September for the past thirty-four years in its namesake state, the five-day race features one-hundred vintage pre-1960 automobiles that gently compete to finish first as they traverse 1,000 miles of scenic Rocky Mountain passes and bypasses, starting and finishing in the ski mecca of Vail.
Race organizers raise funds for numerous local causes, including the Colorado State Patrol, and generate well over $500,000 annually for small Colorado charities, including college scholarships and medical facilities in small towns.
This year Franck Muller offers four new Colorado Grand watches, each limited to thirty-four examples (to celebrate the 34th anniversary of the event).
The new watches of the Franck Muller Colorado Grand limited edition expertly utilize the classic 45mm Vanguard tonneau-shaped case and dial as a canvas, creating dials inspired by automotive art and the technical details of vintage cars. 
Notable is the silver perlage that graces each dial of the four-watch set. Set with bold hand-painted numerals, these dials recall vintage car dashboards. Four models are available, each with a colorful rendering of the numerals, crown-protector and minute track just inside the bezel. 
Prices: $24,500 (rose gold case with blue accents), $13,000 (steel case with black accents), $13,000 (steel case with red accents) and $13,000 (titanium case with green accents).
