The Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady watch collection ennobles fine Swiss watchmaking with the exceptional art of enamel. Introduced in 18-karat white gold, the Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady measures 35mm in diameter, and features bezel and lugs set with rows of round brilliant diamonds. This opulent presentation serves as an appropriate surrounding for breathtaking kiln-fired enamel dials set with diamonds. Unique creations of the master artisan, these dials depict delicate and fanciful birds with splendid plumage. The brilliant colors of these enamels are matched to richly colored straps in hand-sewn alligator leather. White gold winding crowns are accented by a row of blue sapphire cabochons.

The Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady features a self-winding mechanical movement with the 22K gold centrally-mounted decorated winding rotor providing further visual delight through an exhibition sapphire caseback. The timepiece is fitted with curved sapphire crystals, and is water resistant to 50 meters. The fine leather strap is joined to a folding clasp in the appropriate colour of 18-karat gold. An elegant oval plaque affixed to the left side of the case with two screws displays the individual number of each timepiece.

Renowned luxury watch maker Ulysse Nardin has come out with a new moonstruck watch. This technical achievement underscores the advance that Ulysse Nardin watches have made this year. The case, in 18kt rose gold or in platinum, measures 46mm. It has double sapphire crystals and is water resistant to 100 meters.

Movement is the automatic in-house caliber UN-106. This timepiece positions an earth depiction at the center of the dial, with solar and lunar hands in relation to our planet. The precise moonphase calendar does not need adjusting in 100,000 years. The combined tough crystal makes this Ulysse Nardin tough enough to last the full moonphase life.

This new caliber has various parts done in silicium (also known as silicon), such as the escapement and the hairspring. Silicium is a non-ferrous and non-magnetic material. Thereby reducing the effects of gravity and the need for a Tourbillon. As we enter the first decade of the new millenium Ulysse Nardin has perfected it’s watches to do the same.

This is a unique Ulysse Nardin watch and only 500 pieces are available

Ulysse Nardin is a watch manufacturer founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland. Historically Ulysse Nardin was best known for being a manufacturer of marine chronometers, but today Ulysse Nardin produces complicated mechanical watches. In that tradition they have created an unique watch for the only watch charity gala.

The case is done in 18kt white gold and is equipped with the 7 Day Carrousel Tourbillon movement featuring the exclusive Dual Ulysse Escapement in Silicium.

A new titanium version of the highly emblematic Maxi Marine Diver. This COSC-certified chronometer is housed in a new sporty 45-mm titanium case equipped with a structured unidirectional rotating bezel in alternating titanium and pink gold. This unique combination of a rose gold watch is common amongst some Omega chronographs. Added to this are such useful functions as a power reserve indicator and an extra-large small seconds, while the open back reveals the spectacular movement and its ruthenium-colored rotor.

Ulysse Nardin has joined forces with the European company SCI Innovations to develop the Ulysse Nardin Chairman, a unique cell phone. This hybrid creation underlines the brand’s core values and highlights its horological heritage of unequalled savoir-faire and a timeless style. At the same time, it incorporates today’s most advanced technological applications. The Chairman features the brand’s iconic elements, such as the emblematic anchor on its screw-down pushpiece as well as the highly specialised Ulysse Nardin rotor, which can be admired through the back of the phone. The world’s first mechanical telephone, the Chairman is a true masterpiece, integrating the rotor into its movement as well as into its design. Another first for a telephone! Like an automatic watch powered by its rotor, the Chairman is powered by a second integrated battery using the kinetic energy provided by the rotor’s motion. This supplies the extra energy needed to keep it in good working order.

Ulysse Nardin is a watch manufacturer founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland. Historically Ulysse Nardin was best known for being a manufacturer of marine chronometers, but today Ulysse Nardin produces complicated mechanical watches.

History

Founder, watchmaker Ulysse Nardin, was an accomplished watchmaker who studied horology under his father, Leonard-Frederic Nardin, Frederic William Dubois and Louis JeanRichard-dit-Bressel, in Switzerland.

Before the advent of quartz timepieces, merchant and military ships relied on highly accurate mechanical timepieces known as marine chronometers. The best known of these was the M,GR.F model by Ulysse Nardin.[citation needed] Similar of this model, were used by Hamilton to supply the US Navy and by Seiko for the Japanese navy. Of the 4,504 certificates for marine chronometers issued 4,324 were issued to Ulysse Nardin (Lucien F Trueb, Watchtime).

Revival

In 1983 Ulysse Nardin was acquired by businessman Rolf Schnyder who, in conjunction with watchmaker Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, relaunched the brand, with other important investors (Swiss and Italian). Schnyder and Oechslin , and the staff of Ulysse Nardin, designed and created complicated timepieces using modern materials and manufacturing techniques. But not quite like Movado

The first example of Ulysse Nardin’s new approach was the Astrolabium (1985, named after the device Astrolabium and astronomer Galileo Galilei), which displays local and solar time the orbits of the orbits and eclipses of the sun and moon as well as the positions of several major stars. This watch entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1989 as the world’s most complicated wristwatch. Oechslin followed up the Astrolabium with two other astronomical watches, the Planetarium Copernicus (1988, named after the device planetarium and astronomer Copernicus) and the Tellurium Johannes Kepler (1992, named after element tellurium and astronomer Johannes Kepler). The three pieces constitute what the brand calls the Trilogy of Time.

Want the right wristwatch to go with that new $88,000 Vertu phone on your belt? Check out this platinum watch from Swiss timepiece-maker Ulysse Nardin, a one of a kind (or rather, 99 of a kind) gem that gives you a UFO’s-eye view of the Earth—all for the bargain price of $100,000.

No, it’s not encrusted with jewels and it doesn’t do Bluetooth, but the Tellurium J. Kepler Limited Edition watch (only 99 were made) has something you won’t find on your everyday Timex: a rotating representation of the globe as it might be seen from above the North Pole, complete with a flexible spring representing the terminator between day and night, plus a perpetual calendar that makes a complete rotation once a year. Oh, and it’s water resistant to 30 meters, although I’m not sure how the leather wrist strap will handle salt water.

I know Movado Watches will come out with something like this!
