Ulysse Nardin is bringing the UFO feat to a close with three final editions in ice blue, green and champagne, exclusively available from its partners Bucherer, Yoshida and The Hour Glass. Accompanied by a limited-edition certificate and a winding and setting key, each numbered piece is presented in an aged wooden box – an extraordinary technical, artistic and playful watchmaking treasure.
A fascinating oval clock capable of defying gravity, UFO took two years’ research and prototyping carried out by Ulysse Nardin’s R&D teams and the watchmaking specialist Maison L’Epée. UFO’s weight – 7.2kg exactly – and its distribution – over a height of 263mm and a diameter of 159mm – give it the properties… of a roly-poly toy! The half-spherical aluminium base contains a tungsten mass, which allows UFO to return to an upright position. The amplitude of its movements can reach 120°, an open invitation to play with this extraordinary timepiece.
