Catalogue Essay
- The Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon is a striking timepiece released by the brand in 2020 at Geneva Watch Days. Complex and multi-faceted in its construction, the timepiece’s aerodynamic design resembles the aesthetics of a stealthy aircraft.
- Boasting a powerful automatic silicium tourbillon in the brand’s signature X-shaped cage, all of the mechanical wonders are revealed by the transparent casing.
- Powered by the cal. UN-172, the reference 1723-400 is the first Ulysse Nardin Skeleton model featuring a self-winding tourbillon and a new tiny yet powerful platinum micro-rotor, visible only from the front of the watch at 12 o’clock.
- The present example Blast Tourbillon numbered No. 158 from circa 2022 is presented in "like-new" condition.
