Comment from Hara on signing the sponsorship contract with Franck Muller: "I am very pleased to have signed this sponsorship contract with Franck Muller. I have been wearing the Vanguard Lady Backswing for some time now, and I love it as it is fashionable and perfectly suits my golf style, and is very comfortable to wear. Through this opportunity, I learned that Franck Muller not only sells watches, but also has a wide range of products such as interior design and patisserie. As an ambassador, I would like to convey the playful world view and its appeal to everyone."

The Vanguard Lady Backswing is a ladies' watch that combines fashion and functionality to project a stylish and elegant golf style. The dimples on the surface of a golf ball are expressed on the case, dial, and even strap, revealing a feminine image full of humor and joy amidst sporty charm. The case back is see-through, allowing viewers to see the movement inside. To protect the movement, a system is used in which silicone is used on four sides to absorb the impact of the swing.
