Something new - VANGARDE
For those of you looking for something a little bit different, VANGARDE has you covered! Available only by direct order, you will not find the VANGARDE at any retail location.
This is the VANGARDE Calibre V1. The result of over two years of design and planning, there will be only eighty-eight of these pieces made available. A video of the VANGARDE is here:
