A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

Innovation continues to be a guiding principle for Eterna, endowing our watches with modern aesthe- tics and technology. However, from time-to-time, innovation must give way to the strength of Eterna’s past. By pure happenstance, a discovery was made at Eterna of seventy vintage alarm watch movements. The Réveil is a diamond in the rough for the watch enthusiast and discerning collector.

Ulysse Nardin – Executive Skeleton Tourbillon

















Ulysse NardinExecutive Skeleton Tourbillon Titanium 45 NEW

Excellence in featherweight form. Airy and barely light enough to be felt on the wrist, the new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon is nonetheless the center of all attention.

Transparent yet powerful, this sleek watch exudes modernity in no uncertain terms. Within an ultra-light titanium
and ceramic case, it showcases the aesthetic codes of the Executive collection, making way for the essential.
Distinctive and modern, the Executive collection unabashedly flaunts its generously-sized attributes. It embodies
the avant-garde spirit fueled by know-how and inventiveness that has guided Ulysse Nardin throughout its 170
years of existence. Expressing an exploratory nature steeped in watchmaking expertise, the new Executive
Skeleton Tourbillon timepiece combines lightness, purity and technical features in a creation full of strong charac-
ter.

Featherweight

Reigning atop its category, the Executive Skeleton Tourbillon presents unparalleled lightness, despite its substan-tial size – 45 mm in diameter – and its character capable of competing with the heavyweights of watchmaking excellence. This triumph takes the form of a round titanium case, water-resistant to 30 meters, which is topped with a ceramic bezel that matches the crown in black. Dressed in a dark shade, its athletic case middle further enhances the sleek and translucent mechanics that power the watch.

In the ring

In the middle of the ring, it is all about the essentials. The signature features of the Executive collection – oversized Roman numerals and hour-markers and imposing sword-shaped hands – seem to to be suspended in midair. With its deep black color, the raised rectangular bridge stresses the skeleton watch’s place in Ulysse Nardin’s eminently contemporary collection. The movement has been carefully hollowed out to highlight these identifying features while preserving the power of its instantly recognizable aesthetics.

A knockout victory

The watch’s finely shaped silhouette is matched by the power and performance of its beating heart, vibrating at a
frequency of 2.5 Hz. Its complex mechanics, revealed in all their glory by the transparent sapphire crystal and
coated with PVD and ruthenium, sketch a series of lively lines. With its exceptional power reserve of 170 hours
and tourbillon made from silicium, the manually wound UN-171 Manufacture movement indicating the hours and
minutes is tuned for endurance and accuracy. Sophisticated yet technical, a variety of finishes and colors en-
hance the refined architecture of this Ulysse Nardin Manufacture caliber.

To securely attach this distillation of avant-garde creation to the wrist, the carbon fiber-style strap is connected to the case by three distinctive claws and is fastened by a folding titanium clasp.
