Lot Essay
The present watch is the only example of Ulysse Nardin's "Chronometer Tourbillon" model cased in white gold, featuring an extremely rare and unusual combination of a jump hour mechanism and one minute tourbillon.
Founded in 1846, the celebrated firm was named after its founder, Ulysse Nardin, an accomplished watchmaker. Nardin first trained in horology under his father, Leonard-Frederic Nardin, and perfected his skills with the renowned master watchmakers Frederic William Dubois and Louis JeanRichard-dit-Bressel.
In its over 150 years of history, Ulysse Nardin had been widely respected as a specialist in marine chronometers. Today, the house continues to develop and produce timepieces of the highest technical level in limited editions. Using the company's patented inventions, these often include complications offered by no other watchmaker, such as the renowned Trilogy of Astrolabium, Planetarium and Tellurium; the Jaquemarts Minute Repeater and the Sonata (see lot 15 in this auction).
