Ulysse Nardin injects impetus into the world of haute clocks with its new BLAST watch
Ulysse Nardin releases the BLAST [FREE WHEEL MAILLECHORT] meilleur horlogerie collection
Ulysse Nardin is a grasp of microphones, but this specific launch is perhaps its many daring yet. The BLAST [FREE WHEEL MAILLECHORT] watch is full of a host of breathtaking horological enhancements. At 12 o’clock, we have a floating double barrel that are detached from the dial, any flying tourbillon with a constant-force escapement that seems to be unconnected to any gear train, including 4 o’clock, there is a unit that looks like it is relevant to the escapement, but is truly a power reserve indicator. Unlike the particular display disc, this signal remains stationary: three wedding rings opposite the indicator suggest that the watch is totally wound, while a single band indicates that the power reserve will be running out.
All this incredible achievement is because of the new UN-176 movement, that has been developed entirely in-house by simply Ulysse Nardin and had taken two years to develop. At the heart on this watch is the Ulysse Nardin constant-force anchor escapement. Including 45 components, the tourbillon is located at six o'clock and features a revolutionary constant-force escapement. This mechanical miracle defies the principles of the standard anchor escapement, with a spherical cage holding a pallet fork in the centre, supported by a couple of leaf springs less than a one fourth the thickness of a individual hair.

Fitted perpendicular to each other, these parts absorb bending forces, creating them to bend and continue to be stable. This major technological achievement ensures that the balance wheel is struck perfectly consistently, regardless of the power reserve of the watch. As silicon technology is additionally used in the balance spring as well as escapement, neither the special place bearings nor the core pivot of a traditional avoid wheel are necessary. This technological innovation has been a cornerstone of Ulysse Nardin watchmaking since it gained the Grand Prix entre ma Haute Horlogerie de Genève Tourbillon in 2015.
Even the material in the dial is unique. It is manufactured from a copper, zinc and also nickel alloy called Maillechort. This alloy is known for the warm silvery hue along with unique texture, and is recognized for its durability and special beauty. Due to its hardness, it truly is more difficult to work with than instruments, and it is a " existing metal" that develops an original patina over time, giving it figure and depth.
The material was invented inside the early 19th century by means of French engineers Maillet in addition to Chorier, whose names have been combined to form " Maillechort". This stunning watchmaking work of genius features a 45mm white gold circumstance and a waterproof blue velvet-effect rubber strap with a white gold or platinum folding clasp. Expect it to go beyond this record again!
