Inspired by the bold, sapphire hues of the ocean, the new Anchor Tourbillon from Ulysse Nardin stands out for its genuine translucent blue enamel
dial, handcrafted in-house at Donzé Cadrans, a member of the Ulysse
Nardin group of companies. An evolution of the award-winning Anchor
Toubillon predecessor that premiered in 2015, this new limited edition is
presented in rose and white gold, creating a striking contrast. Challenging
the traditional Swiss anchor escapement, the Ulysse Anchor Tourbillon
was eight years in the making and a world first. Housed in a 60-second
tourbillon cage, the watch’s architecture is based on the principle of flexible mechanisms, exploiting the elasticity of flat springs. The timepiece’s
breakthrough engineering revolutionized the power transmission to the
regulating system and significantly improved timekeeping accuracy. Limited to just 18 pieces each in white and rose gold, the new Anchor Tourbillon
measures 44mm and comes on a dark leather strap.
