Just a year after the arrival of Fred Buyle to Ulysse Nardin's family of explorers, the maritime watchmaker is proud to announce its partnership with a talented new photographer, a hunter of moving water, light, transparency and poetry: Ben Thouard. This spring, Ben Thouard joins Ulysse Nardin's Armada of explorers alongside freediver and photographer Fred Buyle, sailors Sébastien Destremau, Romain Pilliard and Dan Lenard, snowboarder and surfer Mathieu Crépel and kitesurfing champion Alex Caizergues. Like the hero of Homer's Odyssey, these modern-day Ulysses set out to conquer their dreams and ambitions, ready to face obstacles and the unknown, connected more than ever to the elements, the ocean and Nature. Thouard grew up in Toulon, in the south of France, near...
Two new recruits have joined the Marine Torpilleur Military squadron. In black and khaki or bronze and midnight blue, these modern war machines seem to have come straight out of the barracks: casual, comfortable and as minimalist as the torpedo ships that lent them their name. This spring, Ulysse Nardin pays tribute to its military heritage by expanding its Marine Torpilleur Military collection with two new models in khaki and bronze – two military-style limited editions of 300 pieces each, which are at once formal and relaxed, urban and adventurous, elegant and liberated. “Military inspiration is a cyclical trend that has infiltrated our wardrobes since the end of the 19th century and which often signals its comeback in fashion week’s...
Pomellato introduces irresistible NUDO designs: a brand-new sautoir and Obsidian NUDO, a mystical new stone. Baring the naked splendour of a gem, prong-free NUDO expresses the colours of a woman’s uniqueness. Unconventional and unmistakable, NUDO (Italian for “naked”) is made for the woman who is free to be herself – striking, strong, and full of colour. SASSY SAUTOIR New for 2019, NUDO sparkles in a brilliant sautoir design that may be worn in three different ways: a classic sautoir, a lariat pendant, or a double-wrap necklace. For the first time, NUDO’s stones feature the “Clessidra” (Italian for “hourglass”) double-face cut, leaving the gem more preciously nude than ever before. Pomellato artisans hand-cut 57 facets on both the top and...
The Venturer Concept Vantablack® from H. Moser & Cie. combines the warm, gentle tones of 5N red gold with an ultra-black dial made from Vantablack®, an innovative material used in astrophysics. The Schaffhausen-based Manufacture plays on the contrast between a high-tech material, which must be handled delicately, and a model with a neo-vintage look. Available as a Concept model, with neither logo nor indices, on a Venturer case 39 mm in diameter, this piece is a minimalist reinterpretation of the dress watch which takes elegance to a new dimension. Regarded as the darkest substance in existence, its ultra-black coating, Vantablack®, is used in astrophysics in telescopes and by the army as thermal camouflage. It is composed of carbon nanotubes that...
A twirling minute repeater with a flying tourbillon, highlighting the "ballet dance" performed by the complex mechanism to chime the hours: on the Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon from H. Moser & Cie., the two chimes and the hammers on the minute repeater can be admired on the dial side. A timepiece which appeals to the ears and the eyes. Proposing a return to the essential, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture showcases the beauty of this complication with a purist approach, giving us the opportunity to admire the choreography of the hammers and chimes on a black lacquered dial stripped of both logo and indices, creating a striking contrast between the dial and the metal elements. An ambitious technical development for the...
Featuring one main disc displaying the minutes, around which three small planetary gears displaying the hours gravitate: the Endeavour Flying Hours caused a stir when it was launched in 2018. So much so that the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture has decided to create two new limited edition models.

Moser & Cie. has drawn its inspiration from planetary systems, which gives it its own unique re-interpretation, with an elegant and minimalist look. In the...
