Blast Tourbillon Dragon - Vurvi

Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Dragon Since its debut in 2020, the Blast Tourbillon has become the quintessential representation of Ulysse Nardin’s bold and innovative approach to watchmaking. Known for its angular design, high-tech movement, and distinctive X structure, it epitomizes the brand’s forward-thinking ethos. In celebration of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon 2024, Ulysse Nardin has merged this modern timepiece with the mystical elements of Chinese folklore, introducing the Blast Tourbillon Dragon. This timepiece combines the strength and fortune symbolized by the dragon with the purity, wisdom, and wealth represented by the pearl, manifesting in a harmonious blend of power, providence, and prosperity.
The Blast Tourbillon Dragon features a meticulously hand-sculpted dragon in 5N rose gold, which appears to emerge from the movement itself, encircling the skeletonized X structure and protectively holding a mythical pearl atop the flying tourbillon’s cage. This imagery draws inspiration from traditional Chinese symbolism, where dragons with five claws denote imperial authority and prestige. The creation of this three-dimensional dragon, seamlessly integrated within the watch’s design, presented significant challenges, culminating in a two-year development process that included bespoke adjustments to the case, bezel, and crystal. Crafted with extraordinary skill, the rose gold dragon requires four days of artisanal effort, with intricate engraving and the application of gradated colors to bring the mythical creature to life.
The Blast Tourbillon, powered by Calibre UN-172, showcases Ulysse Nardin’s mastery of skeleton tourbillon calibres with automatic winding, featuring a platinum micro-rotor and benefiting from the brand’s pioneering work in silicon fabrication for key movement components.
The watch’s design, combining architectural case construction with avant-garde elements and the use of DLC-blackened titanium paired with rose gold, underscores Ulysse Nardin’s commitment to reinventing haute horlogerie. The Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon Dragon stands as a testament to the brand’s in-house innovation, artistry, and the enchanting allure of the dragon, offering a unique piece for those who value the intersection of ancient mythology and cutting-edge watchmaking.
