In a stainless steel case even thinner than that of the Grande Seconde Quantième, this new watch asserts its personality with three central hands and date through an aperture at 6 o'clock, while upholding the brand's codes: blued steel or rhodium-plated Lancine-shaped hands, red-tipped seconds hand, rhodium-treated indexes, sunray crown, box crystal, etc. The new date aperture sports a design with sharp angles and beveled edges perfectly embedded in the dial, without forgetting the classic last day of the month displayed in red.

In its center, the new JD1150P silicon spiral movement, launched in 2014, endows it with enhanced performance. A few milligrams of pure wonder, and pure technology… Silicon is not only non-magnetic, but is also unaffected by changes in temperature and pressure, guaranteeing optimal performance over time and in the most extreme conditions. At present, watchmaking brands able to fashion this both flexible and extremely resistant material are rare. The polished aesthetic of the movement, with its openworked rotor, is admired through the exhibition case-back.

Ulysse Nardin – Hourstriker Erotica Jarretiere Limited Edition

Ulysse Nardin – Exceptional Hourstriker Erotica Jarretiere Limited Edition NEW

Ulysse Nardin Reveals Its Sensual Side with Hourstriker Erotica Jarretière.

Ulysse Nardin is known for its daring watchmaking ingenuity. With the new Hourstriker Erotica Jarretière, the manufacture pushes the boundaries, once again, revealing a side never seen before – sensuality. Adding a little risqué to its repertoire of wristwatches is the new Hourstriker Erotica Jarretière.

Erotic scenes are a long-standing tradition in the watch industry. Ulysse Nardin takes the subject matter to new heights through its implementation of the Hourstriker movement and Jaquemarts. A limited edition of 28 pieces each in rose gold and platinum, the timepiece’s tale is evident on its dial. A delicate, handcrafted miniature brings the romance of Venice to life.

The scene exposes lovers, viewable from the interior balcony, enjoying each other. Set admist traditional Venetian décor, the nude man and woman make love on a chaise; these figures are handmade gold Jaquemarts that move in rhythm with the Hourstriker. Behind the chaise is an exterior view of the iconic Rialto Bridge arching majestically over Venice’s Grand Canal, enhancing the amorous scene. Strewn on the carpet in front of the chaise is a pair of high heels and the tiniest, but most provocative, arousal – the garter, or Jarretière. A little seductress, the garter has the ability to overpower the most controlled men.

Run by the complex Hourstriker mechanism, the watch gongs on the hour and on request as the couple moves, in the heat of passion, up and down with the sound. Simple for the timekeeper’s owner to operate, the striking mechanism can be activated or deactivated by simply pressing pusher one. One of the earliest manufacturers to lead the rebirth of the striking mechanism, Ulysse Nardin also remains among the rare watchmakers to use Jaquemarts.

An exclusive timepiece, revealing a soft, sensual side, whether a gift for a lover or a personal selection by a romantic, it renders a want that we all crave: to have love and desire as constants in our lives.
