Ulysse Nardin Depicts a Dragon and Its Pearl on the Blast Tourbillon
In celebrating the Year of the Dragon.
The latest time-telling offering introduced in Ulysee Nardin’s arsenal is an exceptional iteration of the Blast Tourbillon, specially produced to pay homage to 2024’s Chinese zodiac: the dragon.
Referred to as the Blast Tourbillon Dragon, the exquisite time-teller comes in a 45mm-wide angular case, crafted from 5N rose gold, and fitted with a black DLC titanium bezel and middle case. The timepiece’s protagonist is a majestic, sculptural and fiery dragon that lives on the openworked dial, entwined with the skeletonized structure. As a nod to ancient Chinese folklore, the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock arrives in a mother-of-pearl finish to recreate the mood of the dragon’s pearl.
On a technical note, this spectacle-worthy time-teller is equipped with the UN-172, a self-winding, skeleton Manufacture movement with a three-day power reserve. As finishing touches, the reference is complete with two strap options: a black alligator strap and a velvety rubber strap.
Priced at $100,600 USD, the Blast Tourbillon Dragon 88-piece limited edition is now open for inquiry via Ulysse Nardin.
