MARINE TOURBILLON BLUE GRAND FEU
In one magnificent timekeeping instrument, the Marine Tourbillon
unites the three fundamentals so essential to Ulysse Nardin’s identity:
in-house production, technical avant-garde and rare artistry. The
self-winding UN-128 caliber is produced in-house in the workshops
at Le Locle, Switzerland. Embodying the brand’s development and
continued independence in the manufacture of its movements, it
harnesses the properties of silicium technology, with a 60-hour power
reserve and a magnificent flying tourbillon. From its position at 6
o’clock on the blue Grand Feu dial, the tourbillon is a highlight of this
beautiful timepiece, a glorious tribute to the watchmaker’s continued
pursuit of the technical cutting-edge.
CLASSICO MANUFACTURE GRAND FEU
MARINE TORPILLEUR MILITARY
Riding on the wave of success of its Marine Torpilleur, Ulysse Nardin
is releasing the Marine Torpilleur Military edition, a chronometer for
a whole new generation of adventurer. Bold and dashing, this is
a direct descendant of the pocket chronometers prized by the sea
captains of 19th or beginning of the 20th century, radically redesigned
for a resolutely mo-dern era. Featuring the same Ulysse Nardin UN-
118 in-house movement as the celebrated Marine Chronometer, the
Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military takes on a more imposing air,
as if daring the wearer to rise to a new level of challenge.
In mesmerizing black enamel, the Classico Manufacture Grand
Feu transforms the daily act of telling time. While the crafting
of a white Grand Feu enamel dial is already a difficult process,
producing one in intense black is even more complex. The
selection of the enamel powder is crucial in determining the
result: black can only be created by applying different and
carefully chosen colored pigments to the substrate, giving the
enamel opacity and depth. The unusual Classico Manufacture
Grand Feu: a memorable expression of the three Ulysse Nardin
fundamentals of independent manufacturing, skilled craft and
constant innovation.
