Ulysse Nardin - Classico Limited Edition Santa Maria New
The Santa Maria, Christopher Columbus’ boldest sail merchant
ship, was often endearingly called the Gallant Maria by her crew. The
flagship vessel, used for the explorer’s first expedition in 1492, was
regal and daring. Larger than her two sisters, La Niña and La Pinta, the
Santa Maria is one of the most important ships in history for what she
represented – fearlessness.

With true artistry and unparalleled precision, the Classico
Limited
Edition Santa Maria from
Ulysse Nardin recounts this noble vessel and
its story of adventure. Using the ancient and precious cloisonné
technique, paired with the fine art of enameling, the stately
Santa
Maria is paid valiant tribute to in this masterful timepiece. Every
detail has been carefully crafted by
Ulysse Nardin artisans in vivid
color and to exacting specifications. A backdrop of deep blue frames
this glorious depiction of the ship with its proud masts and sail, a
flag at its top waving freely in the wind, a splash of water coming up
from the greenish blue sea to meet the deep grain of the wooden "nao",
or cargo ship.

Fearless like its namesake, the
Classico Limited
Edition Santa Maria is painstakingly created, requiring more than 50
working hours and 26 baking processes to complete each handmade
cloisonné dial. Each dial is individually crafted by skilled enameller
specialists using the refined decorative technique of cloisonné that
produces an unmistakable and undeniably unique work of art. The process
is a complicated mix of skill and steady hand, and is one of the most
intricate artistic disciplines.
Ulysse Nardin revived this lost
decorative technique, which counts less than a handful of artists that
are masters of the intricate skill.
