If you’re looking to go unique and outside-the-box with your wrist game, then Ulysse Nardin has to be on your list of must-have designers. The independent and integrated manufacturer is known for their electrifying timepieces, craftsmanship, and technical prowess—all of which are evidenced by the unconventionally edgy Blast Tourbillon timepiece launched first in 2020.
For 2024’s Year of the Dragon, Ulysse Nardin pays tribute to traditional Chinese folklore with a timepiece that represents the dragon (which symbolizes strength, power, and good fortune) meeting the alluring pearl (which signifies purity, wisdom, and wealth). The new Blast Tourbillon Dragon features a 5N rose gold hand-sculpted version of the mythical creature coiling its way around and through the skeletonized X structure, as though slithering out from within the movement itself. Guarding the magical pearl between its five-clawed hands, the Blast Tourbillon dragon takes special care of representing prestige, providence, and power.
Powered by the manufacture movement Calibre UN-172, Ulysse Nardin’s first skeleton tourbillon calibre, the skeletonized timepiece features a platinum micro-rotor visible at 12 o’clock and delivers up to three days of power reserve. It comes with an integrated black alligator strap with a 5N rose gold and black PVD titanium folding clasp. If you’re someone who seeks the extraordinary and the daring, the Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Dragon is the perfect embodiment of in-house innovations, métiers d’art, and the magic of the Year of the Dragon.
