Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon Watch

The Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon watch exposes the mysterious operations of the legendary tourbillon complication, offering to watch lovers a visually glorious exposition of both technical mastery and vibrant color.  The Royal Blue Tourbillon watch showcases two well-known traits of Ulysse Nardin--the ability to produce exceptional haute horlogerie, and a love of the color blue.  The manually wound UN-79 Caliber movement relies on transparent blue sapphire plates to support the movement structure, and the result is nothing short of breathtaking, allowing the observer a deep view into the mechanism. 

The tourbillon itself, capped by a striking blue sapphire, is of the "flying" type---affixed to the plate by a single point, rather than being anchored on both sides; a more difficult construction, the flying tourbillon also showcases the transparent beauty of this timepiece to its ultimate effect. The mainspring barrel, situated at 12 o'clock features elegant wolf's tooth winding wheels, a small yet telling detail which reflects the traditional elements of classical high grade watchmaking amidst the appearance of such a striking and seemingly unconventional technical execution; fully wound, the Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon watch will run for an impressive 100 hours before exhausting its power reserve. 

To carry on the rich impression of the blue color scheme, Ulysse Nardin has incorporated unique patterns of diamonds and sapphires into the rehaut of the dial, and several different versions are available, including one with pave diamonds on the bezel and case lugs.  Presented in a massive, luxurious 42mm case made from platinum, and offered on a crocodile strap with a platinum and white gold deployant buckle, the Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon watch is an exceptional timepiece whose production will be strictly limited to 99 pieces worldwide.
