Excellence in featherweight form. Airy and barely light enough to be felt on the wrist, the new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon from Ulysse Nardin is nonetheless the centre of all attention. This exquisite timepiece is now available across Ulysse Nardin points of sale in the region.

Transparent yet powerful, this sleek watch exudes modernity in no uncertain terms. Within an ultra-light titanium and ceramic case, it showcases the aesthetic codes of the marque's Executive Collection, making way for the essential.

Distinctive and modern, the Executive Collection unabashedly flaunts its generously-sized attributes. It embodies the avantt-garde spirit fuelled by know-how and inventiveness that has guided Ulysse Nardin throughout its 170 years of existence. Expressing an exploratory nature steeped in watchmaking expertise, the new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon timepiece combines lightness, purity and technical feature is in a creation full of strong character.

Featherweight

Reigning atop its category, the Executive Skeleton Tourbillon presents unparalleled lightness, despite its substantial size –– 45 mm in diameter – and its character capable of competing with theheavyweights of watchmaking excellence. This triumph takes the form of a round titanium case, water-resistant to 30 metres, which is topped with a ceramic bezel that matches the crown in black. Dressed in a dark shade, its athletic case middle further enhances the sleek and translucent mechanics that power the watch.

In the ring

In the middle of the ring, it is all about the essentials. The signature features of the Executive Collection –– oversized Roman numerals and hour-markers and imposing sword-shaped hands – seem to be suspended in mid-air. With its deep black colour, the raised rectangular bridge stresses the skeleton watch’s place in Ulysse Nardin’s eminently contemporary collection. The movement has been carefully hollowed out to highlight these identifying features while preserving the power of its instantly recognizable aesthetics.

A knockout victory

The watch’s finely-shaped silhouette is matched by the power and performance of its beating heart, vibrating at a frequency of 2.5 Hz. Its complex mechanics, revealed in all their glory by the transparent sapphire crystal and coated with PVD and ruthenium, sketch a series of lively lines. With its exceptional power reserve of 170 hours and tourbillon made from silicium, the manually wound UN-171 Manufacture movement indicating the hours and minutes is tuned for endurance and accuracy. Sophisticated yet technical, a variety of finishes and colours enhance the refined architecture of this Ulysse Nardin Manufacture calibre.

To securely attach this distillation of avant-garde creativity to the wrist, the carbon fibre-style strap is connected to the case by three distinctive claws and is fastened by a folding titanium clasp.
