Built in Germany in 1926 and originally known as the Padua, the barque, tall ship with its four masts was given to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation, and was integrated into the Soviet Baltic Fleet.

Consequently, she was renamed Kruzenshtern after the 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern. Her missions, journeys and services are vast, and today, she operates primarily as a training ship.

To accurately portray her real-time appearance, Ulysse Nardin employed the intensely intricate enamel cloisonné technique – a discipline deeply valued by the manufacturer and its collectors.

In this method, opaque or translucent colors are derived by mixing proportions of elements to achieve specific combinations, often kept a secret.

Each section is divided by fine gold wire; more than 500mm of it is needed to make the cloisons. Every cloisonné dial requires 50 hours of artisan expertise and 26 processes to complete.

Captured on its 40mm-diameter dial is a scene straight from the sea. With blue sky above and crashing waves beneath, the Kruzenshtern slices through the water with fortitude. Snow white sails blow in the breeze, holding onto their masts. Regal in depiction, the artistry is exemplary.
