Ulysse Nardin Capturing Singapore’s Spirit of Independence with their Innovation
Ulysse Nardin captures the spirit of independence manifested in its newest masterpiece:
A result of 8 years of research and development, the Ulysse Anchor escapement is the quintessence of avant-garde mechanical technology.
The Ulysse Anchor escapement is made entirely of silicium, which benefits include a frictionless pallet fork ensuring time precision. Its lightness and dexterity allows geometrical improvements to be made to the pallet fork, escape wheel and flat springs, which in turn resulted in a constant-force escapement – a revolutionary advancement in watchmaking.
The original innovator, Ulysse Nardin was the first to develop an escapement made of silicium in 2001 – a testament to its pioneering spirit and strive for innovation. In a final touch of artistry, this astonishing construction is housed in a 60-seconds tourbillon cage, the peak of traditional expertise.
The in-house calibre movement is housed in a rose gold case in the Classico collection. A setting with traditional lines enhanced with a white Grand Feu enamel dial handcrafted by Donzé Cadrans, a dial-making specialist company owned by Ulysse Nardin.
Available in a limited edition of 18 pieces only.
