ULYSSE NARDIN
Marine Torpilleur Tourbillon Grand Feu
Initially launched last year as a limited edition with a black Grand Feu enamel dial , the Marine Torpilleur Tourbillon is now offered in unlimited production with a white Grand Feu enamel dial .
The watch highlights the work of artisans at Donzé Cadrans , Ulysse Nardin ’ s own watch dial facility . The term Grand Feu means ‘ big fire ’ and refers to the melting the enamel powder in a furnace when creating the dial finish .
On this enamel dial Ulysse Nardin fits the watch ’ s power reserve indicator at 12 o ’ clock and the namesake tourbillon aperture directly across the milky white expanse at 6 o ’ clock .
Ulysse Nardin ’ s own UN-128 automatic caliber powers the flying tourbillon with constant escapement , which is fitted with a flying silicon anchor .
You might recall that in 2015 Ulysse Nardin won the Tourbillon Watch Prize at the GPHG ( Grand Prix d ’ Horlogerie de Genève ) ceremony with this patented system . Price : $ 39,600 .
