Ulysse Nardin thrives in enameling, a centuries-old meticulous discipline prized by watch collectors worldwide. One of very few brands mastering this technique in its own workshops, Ulysse Nardin has an unparalleled in-house capability in haute horology. Foregoing the use of modern technology and relying solely on the expertise of the artisan, enameling is an exacting art unlike any other. Ulysse Nardin’s dedication to it is rendered in the Classico Amerigo Vespucci.

In the practice, opaque, transparent or translucent colors and tones are derived from the proportions in which the elements are mixed in order to get amalgams, the composition of which is often a secret. Remarkably, each segment is divided by a gold wire segment that prevents the liquid powdered enamel to flow into other melting chambers. Over 500 mm of fine gold wire is needed to make the cloisons, a practice that requires 50 working hours by the artist and 26 processes to complete each cloisonné dial.
