Highly Complicated Timepieces

Ulysse Nardin's Tourbillon Free Wheel is a Creative Reinterpretation

— September 10, 2018 — Fashion
Watchmaker Ulysse Nardin is no stranger to highly complicated timepieces and its new Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel showcases the maker's skill in this field beautifully. Available in rose and white gold, the design on the watch is a more creative interpretation of the brand's Executive Skeleton Tourbillon. This new interpretation features certain raised components that appear to be physically disconnected from each other and float on the dial.

The Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel also features a new in-house hand-wound movement with an impressive seven-day power reserve. The watch also features Ulysse Nardin’s iconic anchor escapement, made entirely from silicon. The watch measures 44mm in diameter and also features a prominent, highly domed sapphire glass with a very slim case.
