Ulysse Nardin once again turns to master watchmaker, Ludwig Oechslin, for the all-new Blast Moonstruck watch
Talking at length with Oechslin is a real treat. This man thinks on a different plane than others when it comes to watchmaking. I have had the privilege of interviewing him on multiple occasions, including at an observatory with the launch of one watch and in New York with the launch of the Freak watch. Ah, that’s right, Oechslin also is the creator of the brand’s famed Freak watch, introduced in 2001, that incorporated silicon into the mechanism for the first time ...
A tour around the fascinating multi-level black and gold dial of this watch reveals so many surprises. Starting at the center of the dial is a convex globe with a depiction of the Earth on it as seen from the North pole. The map is actually at the center of the sapphire crystal and boasts a 3-dimensional effect since the land masses are micro-engraved on the inside of the domed crystal. Surrounding that, an inner gold disk acts as the date indication.
As we move toward the raised outer two rings. The top showcase the cities of the world for the world timer and the one immediately beneath it features the rotating sun disk. That disk is made of a bronzite material and carved in relief for depth and dimension. The time display is set against a disk made of aventurine glass to emulate the sparkling night sky.
In all the Blast Moonstruck is a visually alluring timepiece with so much information chocked into it. The watch boasts a transparent sapphire case back for viewing of the movement, complete with a 5N rose gold oscillating weight. It offers 50 hours of power reserve and is finished with a black alligator strap, or, if one wishes a rubber or velvet strap. It is being produced in limited numbers due to its complexity.
