The traditional representations show a dragon symbolically guarding a magical pearl.
Since it hit the scene in 2020, the Blast Tourbillon has become a standout example of Ulysse Nardin’s unique flair and design. Known for its bold, edgy look, cutting-edge mechanics, and the signature X that marks its identity, the Blast Collection remains at the forefront of Ulysse Nardin’s forward-thinking approach. Celebrating the Lunar New Year, the horologists at Ulysse Nardin are pleased to present the Blast Tourbillon ‘Dragon’ as its newest timepiece inspired by the captivating charm of Chinese folklore. The commemorative timepiece showcases the legendary Dragon and the mesmerizing Pearl in a striking fusion of tradition and innovation.
The Blast’s robust 45mm case design comes crafted exclusively from satin and rose gold 5N, with black DLC titanium highlighting the middle case and bezel. The true artistry lies in Ulysse Nardin’s jaw-dropping dial, where a hand-crafted, hand-painted 3D dragon intertwines throughout the Blast’s iconic ‘X’ construction. A brightly polished pearl sits center stage as it acts as the centerpiece for the watch’s flying tourbillon. The Blast Tourbillon Dragon is powered by Ulysse Nardin’s in-house UN-172 Manufacture skeleton self-winding movement, responsible for holding an impressive 3-day power reserve. Along with an elegant black alligator leather strap, Ulysse Nardin equips the new Blast with an additional black rubber “velvet” strap. The all-new Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Dragon is now available online and in-store for $100,600. View all luxury watches currently for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
