Executive Skeleton Tourbillon |
Excellence in featherweight form. Airy and barely light
enough to be felt on the wrist, the new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon is
nonetheless the center of all attention.
Transparent yet powerful, this sleek watch exudes modernity
in no uncertain terms. Within an ultra-light titanium and ceramic case, it
showcases the aesthetic codes of the Executive collection, making way for the
essential.

Distinctive and modern, the Executive collection unabashedly
flaunts its generously sized attributes. It embodies the avant-garde spirit
fueled by know-how and inventiveness that has guided Ulysse Nardin throughout
its 170 years of existence. Expressing an exploratory nature steeped in
watchmaking expertise, the new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon timepiece combines
lightness, purity and technical features in a creation full of strong
character.
Reigning atop its category, the Executive Skeleton
Tourbillon presents unparalleled lightness, despite its substantial size – 45mm
in diameter – and its character capable of competing with the heavyweights of
watchmaking excellence. This triumph takes the form of a round titanium case,
water-resistant to 30 meters, which is topped with a ceramic bezel that matches
the crown in black. Dressed in a dark shade, its athletic case middle further
enhances the sleek and translucent mechanics that power the watch.
In the middle of the ring, it is all about the essentials.
The signature features of the Executive collection – oversized Roman numerals
and hour-markers and imposing sword-shaped hands – seem to be suspended in
midair. With its deep black color, the raised rectangular bridge stresses the
skeleton watch’s place in Ulysse Nardin’s eminently contemporary collection.
The movement has been carefully hollowed out to highlight these identifying
features while preserving the power of its instantly recognizable aesthetics.

The watch’s finely shaped silhouette is matched by the power
and performance of its beating heart, vibrating at a frequency of 2.5 Hz. Its
complex mechanics, revealed in all their glory by the transparent sapphire
crystal and coated with PVD and ruthenium, sketch a series of lively lines.
With its exceptional power reserve of 170 hours and tourbillon made from
silicium, the manually wound UN-171 manufacture movement indicating the hours
and minutes is tuned for endurance and accuracy. Sophisticated yet technical, a
variety of finishes and colors enhance the refined architecture of this Ulysse Nardin Manufacture
caliber.
To securely attach this distillation of avant-garde creation
to the wrist, the carbon fiber-style strap is connected to the case by three
distinctive claws and is fastened by a folding titanium clasp.
