Ulysse Nardin – Classico Goat "Year of the Goat"















Ulysse NardinClassico Goat "Year of the Goat" Limited Edition NEW

Evolves its Classico Collection for 2015 with its "Year of the Goat" Timepiece.
The eighth animal sign in the Chinese Zodiac, the goat stands independently, preferring the solace of introspection and observation. A dependable, calm and intelligent creature, the goat shines in creativity. Ulysse Nardin celebrates its individualistic and artistic character with the new Classico Goat timepiece, an enamel champlevé creation.

One of the world's only watchmakers dedicated to this rare, centuries-old art, Ulysse Nardin presents a lifelike depiction of the goat, employing the intricate champlevé method. In this practice, cells are carved with a chisel directly on the watch dial and filled with enamel; the color palette is generated from different metallic oxides. The piece is then fired until the enamel melts. The result is a realistic, picturesque scene that is only made possible by the hands of masters.

For more than 25 years, Ulysse Nardin has been bringing this realism to its dials through the art of enameling. In 2011, it furthered its commitment to this expertise by acquiring the famed Donzé Cadrans, elevating its position as a truly manufacturer of high horology.

Boasting engineering excellence coupled with the mastery of enamelling, the Classico Goat is a timepiece of reliability and quiet beauty ideal for the free-spirited individual who is content with themselves yet savors the company of others.
