Ulysse Nardin BLAST TOURBILLON BLUE & GOLD
DOUBLE IMPACTAs a prelude to Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023, the Locle-based watchmaker is unveiling its debut model, a refined interpretation of its contemporary design.Since 2020, each timepiece in the Blast collection by Ulysse Nardin assumes the form of a visual labyrinth in which one’s gaze delights in exploring. The chiseled lines of its 45mm-diameter case provide an eye-catching skeletonized showcase. As for the Blast Tourbillon Blue & Gold, an engaging interplay of material and colors lends this modern timepiece an elegant appeal. In this instance, the case marries elegant blue PVD-treated titanium in a sandblasted finish with satiny, polished rose gold. Above, Super-Luminova?-coated hour and minute hands indicate discreet hour markers clad in the same luminescent material, hovering over the open architecture inherent to the collection.A geometric structure is found composed of bridges in the shape of a rectangle forming an X. The letter is echoed for the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The regulating organ also creates an axis of symmetry with the platinum micro-rotor at 12 o’clock. This airy composition facilitates the discovery of some of the 137 elements and cogs bringing to life the UN-172 caliber. This high-performance self-winding movement with a silicon escapement complete with wheel, lever, and balance-spring produces a 72-hour power reserve, i.e. 3 days. For a perfect complement to a classic or original wardrobe, the Blast Tourbillon Blue & Gold comes in a dark blue rubber wristband with a velvet effect, fastened by a folding clasp. Definitively chic and contemporary!
