The Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo Gigante Chronometer watch

The Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo Gigante Chronometer watch is a finely crafted timepiece whose elegance and distinctive beauty is well matched by its innovative mechanical movement.  Boasting the richly polished and finished tonneau shaped case that is the hallmark of the Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo watch collection, the new Michelangelo Gigante Chronometer watch offers a larger case size, and the implementation of a uniquely executed power-reserve complication.  Produced in a new 38 X 43mm size, this new member of the Michelangelo watch collection, offered in 18K rose gold or stainless steel, is expressive and bold with a striking Roman numeral dial whose oval shaped center draws attention to the power reserve indication and the small seconds subdial.

The Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo Gigante Chronometer watch relies upon the impressive selfwinding UN-27 movement, whose careful adjustments by the Ulysse Nardin watchmakers have enabled it to receive chronometer certification from the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (COSC).  The power-reserve indication of this watch, similar to one introduced by Ulysse Nardin in a pocket watch of 1912, features a hand and a scale, both of which turn to indicate the remaining tension left in the mainspring; this is more intricate than typical power reserve indications, which only feature a hand; it is an excellent small demonstration of Ulysse Nardin's flare for unusual technical solutions.  Expressive, and rich in aesthetic and technical detail, the Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo Gigante Chronometer watch is certain to become a modern Ulysse Nardin classic.
