New publication: Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] Regard

New publication: Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] Regard

Dial variations are one of the simplest opportunities for Watch brands to expand their collections, but some rely far too much on this slightly implemented strategy. For the last publication of 2025, Ulysse Nardin has announced what could essentially be seen as a dial variation of a watch that debuted two years ago, even though the new one Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] Goes a little further than just the color of his finish, and it has a grain -structured German silver (also known as mail echo) as a background for its artistically suspended movement components.

In the core of the Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] ((Ref. 1760-401le-4a-Mail/3a) is hardly a new clock, and it is essentially a dial variation of the explosion -free Wheel Marquetry from 2023, which is based on the basic blueprint of the Free Wheel Tourbillon, which originally debut in 2018. In contrast to Ulysse Nardin's explosion wheel -Marquetry watches, the mosaics from a small parts of Silicon, the New Blast, the New PaSTe -Mosaics from interest parts by Silicon, The New Blasts, expanded [Free Wheel Maillechort] If these sections for equivalents from grain structures from Miletlechort swap, which is the French name for the metal, which most watch collectors probably know as “German silver”.



Despite the “silver” part of his name, German silver (also known as mail echo) does not contain any actual silver, and the alloy consists of copper, zinc and nickel instead. Both French and German names refer to the same base metal, which is often referred to as “nickel silver” outside of watch groups. The “silver” part of his name simply refers to the clearly warm appearance of the alloy, which is similar to Sterling silver. Similar to Ulysse Nardin silicon on the explosion -free Marquetry, the new explosion, used [Free Wheel Maillechort] With a dial made of granularly structured German silver with a suitable decorative plate on the back of his movement, which can be displayed in its fallback through the display window.

Measurement of 45 mm diameter up to 12.4 mm thick, the case of the Ulysse Nardin explosion [Free Wheel Maillechort] is pretty identical to the model, which originally debut in 2023, and essentially consists of a huge, box-shaped sapphire crystal, which is set at an angle 18k white gold framework that forms the lower part of the clock and its integrated lugs. The sides of the housing are cut away to convince the movement through the lateral parts of its dramatically shaped crystal, and the water resistance comes to a fairly minimal 30 meter to protect yourself from side contact. While the clock is based on the blueprint of the original Tourbillon Free Wheel by Executive Tourbillon, the latest forms of expression of this concept combine it with the angular and aggressive silhouette from Ulysse Nardin's blast collection.

The strap for the Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] It also seems to be the same as what can be found on its siblings from 2023, and a blue -structured rubber belt attaches to its thirteen shapes, which is located on the underside of the wrist with a lock that corresponds to 18 carat white gold to correspond to the case. Apart from the exchange of Silicon Marquetry against grain -structured German silver, the Ulysse Nardin Explosion [Free Wheel Maillechort] Otherwise, it seems to be identical to the model, which originally debut in 2023, and this also extends to its internal movement, which is completely visible through the sapphire crystals, which are encapsulated on both sides of the white gold -Middle housing.



Drive of the Ulysse Nardin explosion [Free Wheel Maillechort] is the brand's manual Caliber Un-176 Flying Tourbillon Movement, which runs with a frequency of 2.5 Hz with a seven-day performance reserve with an increased indicator over its grain-controlled dial at the 4 o'clock position. Consisting of 246 individual components and with a escape bike, an anchor and an equilibrium spring made of silicon, the Ulysse Nardin Cal. UN-176 is the same movement that can be found in the original tourbillon Free Wheel models of the brand in 2018, although it remains a rather visually striking creation that its key components placed above the dial to emphasize their complicated mechanical structures.

There is a fine border between fresh life in a little and simply hot air in a body, and although the free wheel models from Ulysse Nardin have been present since 2018, the latest bloom versions of the brand succeed in creating a fresh expression of this visually impressive mechanical concept. While the Marquetric Blast -Free Rad offers a wild and extremely contemporary aesthetics, the new explosion is the new explosion [Free Wheel Maillechort] Takes things in the opposite direction with a traditional alloy that takes place in decent frosted surfaces. Under the Duo of Blast Free Wheel models, the Marquetry is still my personal favorite. However, the new Maillechort version is the ideal solution for those who liked the idea of the original, but did not necessarily want a mosaic dial made of tiny silicon shear.

In contrast to the Marquetry version of two years ago, which was presented as a standard production model, The Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort] (Ref. 1760-401le-4a-Mail/3a) will be a limited edition of 50 piecesAlthough it is a little cheaper than its silicon mosaic siblings with an official retail price of $ 126,600 USD. With approximately the double costs of the flagship -One series by Ulysse Nardin, the most exclusive exclusive offers in the Swiss brand belong to an incredibly harmonious mix of mechanical and artistic details.
