Ulysse Nardin has been crafting Marine Chronometers since the development of international seafaring trade in the late 19th century, keeping ships and valued cargo precisely on course. Now, two new additions to the family of Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometers are the proud heirs of 170 years of craftsmanship and constant innovation.

Powering these new Marine Chronometers is the UN-118 caliber, manufactured entirely in-house. With its heart of Silicium and DIAMonSIL, advanced materials pioneered by Ulysse Nardin in the first, 2011 version of the Caliber UN-118, the movement represents a giant step forward in the quest for absolute precision in mechanical timekeeping.

The movement delivers running time up to 60 hours when fully wound. Like every member of the Marine Chronometer family, the design of the dial is inspired by the early Ulysse Nardin chronometers. It features a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and small seconds at 6 o'clock, positioned next to the date window.

The date can be adjusted either backward or forward. Distinctive roman numerals, cathedral hands and a fluted bezel on the stainless steel case mark it unmistakably as a Marine Chronometer. An impressive combination of sophistication and practicality, the timepiece features a crown designed for easy handling, complete with a rubber notch for comfortable winding.

Aesthetics for these new 45mm Marine Chronometers are explored in two iterations. Each of the two is adorned with a stunning dial. One model features an elegant blue sunburst dial, offset by white markers and cherry red accents for a style that hints at classicism while retaining a strong contemporary edge. The other is glossy white lacquered with blue numerals and hands, presenting a chic, maritime aspect.

Water-resistant to 200 meters, able to run autonomously for 60 hours, the Marine Chronometer Manufacture has a date that can be adjusted either backward or forward. It also benefits from the rigorous testing required to pass the COSC and the Ulysse Nardin Certificate of performance.

Carl F. Bucherer – MANERO Tourbillon White Gold Limited Edition

MANERO TOURBILLON LIMITED EDITION 2016
MASTERY OF CRAFT AND TECHNOLOGY


Since its invention in the latter years of the 18th century, the tourbillon has represented one of the greatest technical challenges in the art of watchmaking. When Swiss watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer introduced its first produced Tourbillon in 2013, the traditional brand from Lucerne reinforced its watchmaking mastery and reputation for horological excellence. Now, a new 2016 Manero Tourbillon limited edition carries on the superb performance and classic styling of the original model, introducing a sophisticated new variation crafted in 18 karat white gold and red gold accents, produced in a series of 188 pieces.

Mark of Achievement

For many years, wristwatches were subject to the negative effects of gravity on the balance wheel, as varying movements of the wearer’s wrist caused the balance wheel to speed up or slow down. A tourbillon is designed to offset these gravitational effects by placing the balance wheel within a specially engineered rotating cage. In this format, the balance wheel and cage orbit independently to maintain consistently accurate timekeeping.

Crafting a tourbillon driven movement stands as a benchmark of watchmaking achievement, one which Carl F. Bucherer has mastered in the Manero Tourbillon. The brand’s own manufacture movement integrates this groundbreaking complication seamlessly, contained within a distinctly classical style Manero watch. The new Limited Edition for 2016 introduces an 18 karat white gold case for the first time, accented with gold toned hands and indexes in contrast to a deep black dial.

Strength and Precision

The Manero Tourbillon radiates sophistication and technical prowess in an elegant 41.8mm diameter case made of 18 karat white gold. The dynamic motion of the tourbillon takes center stage on the dial, displayed prominently through a round cutout at 6 o’clock. At 9 o’clock, the power reserve indicator provides a reading of remaining power, an average of 70-hours of consistent performance delivered by the in-house manufacture movement CFBT1001.

Essential indicators incorporate seamlessly into the refined design of the Manero Tourbillon, including a 24-hour display at 12 o’clock and a third-hand date display. The date numerals which surround the bezel rotate alignment at 3 and 9 o’clock for an intuitive and legible reading of the date. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides reveals a flawless view of the Manero Tourbillon’s dial, while the caseback of sapphire crystal allows a view of the CFBT1001 manufacture movement in action.

Contemporary elements complement the tourbillon’s technical complexity. The unified and graceful design includes the bold writing in Carl F. Bucherer’s trademark style, along with gold toned wedge-shaped index hour markers and tapered lance-shaped hour and minute hands, set in contrast against a satin-brushed dial in a deep and lustrous black. A hand-stitched black Louisiana alligator leather strap with white gold clasp completes the harmonious composition of the Manero Tourbillon Limited Edition 2016.
