Ulysse Nardin Blast [Free Wheel Maillechort]
Ulysse Nardin injects energy into the world of haute clocks with its new BLAST watch
Ulysse Nardin roll-outs the BLAST [FREE WHEEL MAILLECHORT] luxurious horlogerie collection
Ulysse Nardin is a learn of microphones, but this particular launch is perhaps its the majority of daring yet. The BLAST [FREE WHEEL MAILLECHORT] watch is filled with a host of breathtaking horological improvements. At 12 o’clock, there exists a floating double barrel that are detached from the dial, the flying tourbillon with a constant-force escapement that seems to be unconnected to any gear train, with 4 o’clock, there is a gadget that looks like it is associated with the escapement, but is really a power reserve indicator. Unlike the actual display disc, this indication remains stationary: three bands opposite the indicator reveal that the watch is completely wound, while a single engagement ring indicates that the power reserve is actually running out.
All this incredible achievement is a result of the new UN-176 movement, that was developed entirely in-house through Ulysse Nardin and required two years to develop. At the heart of the watch is the Ulysse Nardin constant-force anchor escapement. Composed of 45 components, the tourbillon is located at six o'clock and features a revolutionary constant-force escapement. This mechanical wonder defies the principles of the conventional anchor escapement, with a round cage holding a pallet fork in the centre, supported by 2 leaf springs less than a 1 / 4 the thickness of a human being hair.

Installed perpendicular to each other, these elements absorb bending forces, leading to them to bend and stay stable. This major specialized achievement ensures that the balance wheel is struck perfectly equally, regardless of the power reserve of the watch. As silicon technology can also be used in the balance spring as well as escapement, neither the special place bearings nor the point pivot of a traditional get away wheel are necessary. This technologies has been a cornerstone of Ulysse Nardin watchmaking since it received the Grand Prix entre ma Haute Horlogerie de Genève Tourbillon in 2015.
Even the material from the dial is unique. It is made from a copper, zinc and also nickel alloy called Maillechort. This alloy is known because of its warm silvery hue along with unique texture, and is respected for its durability and distinctive beauty. Due to its hardness, it really is more difficult to work with than metal, and it is a " residing metal" that develops a distinctive patina over time, giving it personality and depth.
The material was invented within the early 19th century simply by French engineers Maillet in addition to Chorier, whose names had been combined to form " Maillechort". This stunning watchmaking work of art features a 45mm white gold situation and a waterproof blue velvet-effect rubber strap with a white gold or platinum folding clasp. Expect it to exceed this record again!
