With Ulysse Nardin fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Ulysse Nardin was historically renowned for its production of precision timepieces, notably marine chronometers and astronomical watches. In 1983, the company was acquired by businessman Rolf Schnyder who, in conjunction with watchmaker Professor Ludwig Oechslin, relaunched the brand. In 2014, Ulysse Nardin was acquired by the Kering Group.
Ulysse Nardin was one of the earliest manufactures to show interest in the renaissance of the minute repeater. To add to the complexity of the minute repeating function, the manufacture included automaton figures called 'Jaquemarts' on the dial and remains to date the only manufacture in the world to use 'Jaquements" on the dial of its minute repeaters.
Based on this principle, Ulysse Nardin pushes the boundaries of its creativity by incorporating animal 'Jacquemarts' into a vividly coloured Jungle depicted on two superposed cloisonn? enamel dials. The two tier enamel cloisonn? dials confer on the watch its three dimensional appearance of the Jungle fauna and flora. Activation of the minute repeater lever causes the Jungle to come alive. The tiger's paw and the toucan move forward while a small fish jumps off the rocks into the water. The intricate cloisonné work is a work of extraordinary beauty and quality. Made in a limited edition of 18 pieces in 18k yellow gold, out of which the current timepiece is number 18, the present watch will captivate connoisseurs through its high level of complication as well as the craftsmanship and level of detail required for the creation of the dial.
