Ulysse Nardin unveils an exclusive skeleton tourbillon caliber incorporating the very latest silicium technology. It is an exquisite expression of the brand's pioneering spirit.
With this timepiece, the Le Locle-based Manufacture combines cutting-edge technology with an aesthetic exploration of the themes of transparency and simplicity. The Skeleton Tourbillon Manufacture is an impressive and unique contemporary timepiece that pays tribute to the brand’s prestigious past.

Purity and transparency.
Skeletonizing is a subtle art that requires both watchmaking know-how and an artistic sensibility. The aim is to reveal the inner workings of the movement by reducing the structure of components to a bare minimum, allowing light to penetrate freely through. Ulysse Nardin’s Skeleton Tourbillon Manufacture is a brilliant example of this endeavor.

The in-house movement seduces with its refined architecture and perfectly balanced proportions. The barrel at 12 o’clock mirrors the escapement placed at 6 o’clock. Above the latter is a ratchet wheel engraved with the brand name, insignia and the power reserve. Surfaces are decorated with an eye-catching contrast of bead-blasted and polished finishes. Color variations enhance the visual interest of metallic components.

Crimson rubies sparkle among the hand-beveled bridges embellished with a satin-finish “sunray" decoration. Each train wheel is rhodium-plated. The blue of the steel screws echoes the azure tone of the silicon components. The specially designed hands are inspired by a gently curved leaf shape and are skeletonized at their tips. Recalling a Ulysse Nardin caliber from 1922, the back bears a screwed-in plate engraved with the serial number, making each timepiece unique.
Cutting-edge technique.
Since it was founded in 1846, Ulysse Nardin has distinguished itself with its pioneering approach. The accuracy and quality of its timepieces have forged an unrivalled reputation for the brand in the rarefied world of fine watchmaking. Perpetuating this spirit, Ulysse Nardin has been a forerunner in the use of silicon, which it featured in a watch for the first time in 2001.

A tribute to the grandiose architecture of the Great Wall of China, the
Great Wallcollection is enriched with two new models for men
Launched in 2012 by the watchmaker Mido, the Great Wall collection pays tribute to one of the boldest architectural achievements in history. Two new men’s models, the sporty Black Chronometer and the elegant Brown Chronometer, have joined the collection whose unique forms are inspired by the Great Wall of China. Reminiscent of the stones that pave this symbolic monument, their dials are worked in relief, whilst the striated disc that surrounds them and the fluted sides of their cases subtly evoke its impressive ramparts. The Black Chronometer and the Brown Chronometer are fitted with a COSC-certified automatic movement. Just like the famous structure, these two characteristic timepieces are distinguished by the singularity of their design and their robustness.

With its Great Wall collection, the watchmaker Mido has chosen to pay tribute to one of the world’s most impressive architectural achievements. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Great Wall of China is a unique construction and one of the most significant monuments ever built by Man. Taking its references from the very shapes of the wall, the Great Wall collection conveys both its robustness and timelessness, a mark of true design for Mido.
The two new models that join this collection are distinguished by the singularity of their design and their assertive masculine character. With a diameter of 42 mm, the steel case (black PVD-treated for the Black Chronometer and rose PVD-treated for the Brown Chronometer) reveals a dial worked in relief, a subtle evocation of the stones that pave the Great Wall. The centre of the dial is surrounded by a striated disc – punctuated by large applied indexes – which evoke the ramparts of the imposing monument, as do the fluted sides of the case. A window positioned at 3 o’clock reveals the day and the date.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... FOTO
The raised chequered patterns that adorn the rubber strap of the Black Chronometer are a further nod to the famous edifice, whilst the various touches of orange on the dial and hands recall Mido’s visual identity. The Brown Chronometer, however, features a brown leather strap, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, treated on both sides, protects the dial of both models. The hour and minute hands are Super-LumiNova® treated (orange for the Black chronometer and white for the Brown chronometer), offering perfect readability, even at night.

Robust and reliable, these two models are equipped with a COSC-certified chronometer automatic movement for precision in all conditions. Water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft), these timepieces both have a transparent case back which allows their finely decorated movement to be admired. Sporty or elegant, each of these two models will appeal to men who appreciate watches of character.
The Great Wall watch is also available in an entirely steel version (bracelet and case) with a black, anthracite or silver dial with nickel or black nickel indexes. A model with a silver dial and black leather strap is also available.

Timeless elegance and innovative technology: Arnold & Son’s new TES Tourbillon
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
True to English watchmaking heritage, Arnold & Son unveils the TESTourbillon, with the hand-finished A&S8100
calibre with sapphire barrel bridge. This defining timepiece is part of
the Royal Collection which combines classic styling with leading-edge
technology.
The tourbillon movement, one of the most elegant complications in the world of horology, has played a crucial role in Arnold & Son’s history. An exceptional watchmaker, John Arnold was an active participant in one of the most extraordinary partnerships in the world of innovative horology. Indeed, both he and A.L. Breguet worked closely, sharing both their knowledge and passion. Evidence of their partnership is A.L. Breguet’s first ever tourbillon mounted in John Arnold’s No. 11 movement, a watch that can be found today in London’s British Museum.

Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
Aesthetically what sets Arnold & Son’s new TES Tourbillon apart is its modern take on the distinguished “English” movement design: the barrel bridge for instance has the traditional English wave-form but is made out of sapphire to allow a maximum view on the openworked barrel and wheels. The tourbillon and motion-work bridges are classically triangular but are skeletonised. The combination of sapphire and open-worked bridges gives an incredible depth and threedimensional effect to the watch and thus a modern look.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
The unique Arnold & Son design is also reflected by the three-spoke wheels. This same three-spoke design can also be found in the tourbillon cage and the openings in the main plate. The decoration of the main plate is a reminiscence of an old guilloché pattern found on the cases of antique Arnold & Son pocket watches. The main plate is also skeletonised around the barrel and the tourbillon carriage allowing to look through the movement and therefore through the watch itself.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
When compared to more conventional tourbillons found today, the TESmodel is said to be “inverted”, that is to say most technical elements and visually interesting features are shown on the dial side, when those would normally be hidden on the reverse of the dial. Other typically English technical idiosyncrasies will seduce even the most demanding watch connoisseurs.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
Take, for instance, the solid gold chatons or the symmetrical layout of the movement; to achieve such a feat requires overcoming a number of technical challenges. Thus the barrel spring and the tourbillon cage are centred along the watch’s longitudinal axis. When examining the winding system, one notes the traditional construction, which uses wheels with long and narrow spokes known as wolf’s teeth, used to improve the smoothness of the overall movement.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
It goes without saying that every finishing touch on this striking piece, with such movement decoration as hand-chamfered bridges and, even more demanding, hand-chamfered wheels with polished edges has been done by hand by Arnold & Son’s master watchmakers, hence bringing more brilliance and depth to each decorative element.

RJ-Romain Jerome unveils a new timepiece in collaboration with HardNine Choppers, a Swiss based custom motorbike manufacturer. This exciting new project is not only a partnership between two driven personalities, but also a truly spirited encounter of two visionaries with the same artistic mission.
Two worlds separate Manuel Emch, CEO of RJ-Romain Jerome, and Danny Schneider, world-class awarded custom motorbike builder. However, their common passion for design and machinery has allowed them to create an artistic package containing a subtly luxurious and unique timepiece as well as a one of a kind motorbike under one common denominator: H9C-DNA.
Sold only in a pair, these two unique pieces share common design traits such as purple metal flake paintings, golden components, perforated leather and skulls which are strong biker symbols.
The first part of this incredible custom set is the H9C-DNA timepiece. Housed in a see through 44 mm black PVD-coated steel case, the watch features a red gold bezel with matching hour and minute hands. The generous yet refined case nests a complex five layered skeleton movement that highlights the angled bridges recalling the intricate structure of a V-Twin motor.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
Immensely eye-catching, the skeletonised Skull has been delicately applied on the dial, and hand painted in a unique purple metal flake colour allowing the barrel to be seen through H9C’s skull logo depicted on its forehead while the balance wheel is discreetly tucked under gridded teeth. As you know, the Devil hides in the details... even the lugs have been hollowed to lighten the watch and hide a unique case closing system with fewer visible screws.
Additionally, a perforated “guidoline” leather strap has been custom made for this unique timepiece recalling the motorcycle’s custom made handlebars.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
The second part of this creative package is HardNine Chopper’s latest customisation: a WLC 1943Harley Davidson 750cc that was originally owned by the Canadian Army. This mechanical piece of art has been entirely reworked by Danny Schneider during a 6 months customization process which consisted of the manual reshaping of the fenders, gas and oil tanks, the front fork, the exhaust pipe and the reconditioning of the original motor.
This rumbling motorbike has also been beautifully hand painted in a purple metal flake colour highlighted by hand drawn pinstripes that have been placed on both sides of the gas tank, fenders and front fork.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
Like RJ-Romain Jerome’s
timepieces, each detail has been thoroughly thought through to
transform this historical object into a unique piece of Contemporary
Art. For example, the steering column is subtly decorated, South Park’s
famous “Cartman” figurine is used to manually change the bikes’ gears
and the name of the hard rock group “Slayer” is cut-out on the grip of
the right footstool. Additionally, the lettering “L.A” and the number
“9” are hand painted on the visible parts of the motor.
But guess what... This unique set has already been sold ! However not to worry, RJ-Romain Jerome has created a limited edition of nine H9C-DNA timepieces featuring a mirror polished H9C skull on the dial, keeping the intrinsic design of the original watch in a black PVD-coated steel case.
Once again, RJ-Romain Jerome celebrates creative minds through its collaborations and has additionally discovered a fascinating world through the eyes and masterful hands of Danny Schneider.
We invite you to immerge yourself in this fascinating new collaboration
and to discover two worlds that have been brought together through
creativity and mutual respect.

----------------------------------------------------- About Danny Schneider
Danny Schneider is the owner and founder of HardNine Choppers, a custom motorcycle garage in Switzerland. He launched his company in 2002 after a severe FMX accident that put an unexpected end to his career.
He was known to be one of the pioneers in Swiss FMX and has now established himself as a one-of-a-kind custom motorcycle builder. Following his injuries, Danny Schneider chose to radically change professional paths and learnt how to weld and manually build motorbikes. At first this hard working young entrepreneur created bikes for the simple pleasure of building and riding them.
However Danny had his first break when he built the D’MX bike that attracted over 21 international major bike magazines and gave him a pass to all the major shows, such as the “AMD World Championship of Bike Building”, where he finished 3rd in the modified Harley category, as well as the “Artistry of Iron Master builders Championship”. He was also the first European bike builder to ever be invited as a special guest to the “Yokohama Mooneyes Show” in Japan.
Following his growing success, Roja-Film Production Company released a 90 minute documentary about the creation of the D´MX and Danny’s trip to Japan. The documentary was shown in movie theaters all over Switzerland and in parts of Europe.
Over the past years Danny has built many exceptional pieces which have become even more successful than the original D´MX. After travelling all year around the globe and attending all the international bike shows, Danny still finds the time to ride his bikes and has also recently been spotted riding a dirt bike again !
