Ulysse Nardin Blast Free Wheel Marquetry

Ulysse Nardin BLAST flywheel inlay process

Geneva Watch Days, August 29, 2023. The visionary spirit of Ulysse Nardin once again astonishes with its technological innovation and bold design, launching the new Blast Free Wheel Marquetry, which embraces silicon as a material that is not only ultra-technical but also artistic.

Paying homage to the iconic Freak movement, which was first introduced in silicon in 2001, the UN-176 in-house movement also showcases wheels, a tourbillon with Ulysse anchored escapement, barrel and 7-day power reserve on the face of the high quality men watches

shown, they all appear to fly through this impressive mosaic without any visible appendages.

The beauty of this unconventional timepiece is reflected in the 45mm white gold Blast case, whose negative-angle facets have been designed using a complex laser method, which is another achievement. Known for its disruptive aesthetic and ergonomic properties, the case once again demonstrates the cutting-edge technology of the independent manufacturer. Its geometric lines perfectly echo the marquetry pattern, and its ultra-glass case offers a wide view of the mysterious movement, also visible from the side.

Haute Horlogerie with a DifferenceAt the heart of this avant-garde haute horlogerie complication, the original and innovative UN-176 movement seems to defy not only the law of attraction, but also the principles of watchmaking. The Ulysse Nardin technical department spent two years in research and development to perfect this flying movement designed entirely by the joint watchmaker. Shopping replica watches

The Blast Free Wheel Marquetry flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock is the iconic work of the Manufacture, composed of 45 parts and featuring a revolutionary constant speed escapement. The Ulysse anchor constant escapement challenges the principle of the traditional anchor escapement and is characterized by a circular frame with a pallet fixed in the center, supported in space by two leaf springs with a diameter less than a quarter of the thickness of a human hair. middle. Mounted perpendicular to each other, they are subjected to bending forces that cause them to bend and remain in place. This major technical achievement led by Ulysse Nardin guarantees perfect uniformity of pulses on the balance wheel regardless of the power reserve of the watch. Since the hairspring and escape wheel also use silicon technology, the jewels of the ordinary escape wheel become redundant, as do the anchor pivots. This extraordinary tourbillon embodies the achievements of Ulysse Nardin in innovation and won the Tourbillon Award at the 2015 Geneva Grand Prix.

Other elements seem to float on the silicon dial, such as the flying barrel at 12 o'clock, without any visible attachment to the surface. The energy it accumulates provides the Blast Free Wheel Marquetry with an extraordinary autonomy of up to 7 days - reflected by the highly original power reserve display at 4 o'clock. Unlike the display dial, the indicator remains stationary: three bands opposite the indicator mean the watch is fully wound, while a single band means the power reserve is almost depleted. fashion watches wholesale

In addition, several additional flying mechanisms are displayed on either side of the barrel: on the left is the intermediate wheel, power reserve differential and reduction gear; on the left is the intermediate wheel, power reserve differential and reduction gear; on the right On one side are the intermediate wheels, power reserve differential and reduction gear. On the right is the winding mechanism, connecting it to the winding stem of the crown.

Flying tourbillon, anchor and wheel perform their dance in a totally subversive way, offering insight into the mechanical interplay at work, orchestrated by Ulysse Nardin, this daring ode to silicon and innovation By. Discount replica watches

artistSince 2019, Ulysse Nardin has launched a number of limited edition Freak X watches, decorated with colored silicon marquetry inlaid discs, but this craftsmanship is reflected in the Blast series for the first time. 103 radiant blue appliques adorn the dial of this masterpiece, transforming it into a fascinating work of art. Their changing reflections and contrasts accentuate the three-dimensionality of the pieces to spectacular effect, thanks to the variation of micron-precise matte and mirror-polished surfaces and the use of two different thicknesses (0.30 and 0.35 mm).

Assembling the small silicon plates to adorn individual dials takes hours of work by artisans who must display incredible dexterity to avoid damaging or leaving marks on these extremely fragile jewels. In addition, the case back of the Blast Free Wheel Marquetry watch is embellished with blue silicon plate for the first time, proving that this high-end material has been used in every detail. replica Urwerk 100 UR-100V Stardust
