Ulysse Nardin

Ulysse Nardin, the independent Swiss watch Manufacture celebrated for its bold and unconventional designs, has joined forces with visionary fashion designer Amoureuxpeintre to create the Blast Amoureux Peintre. This limited-edition series of 29 timepieces merges avant-garde watchmaking with minimalist art, pushing the boundaries of design and encouraging introspection. Inspired by frosted glass panes that obscure and reveal simultaneously, the watch invites wearers to uncover hidden meanings and view time from a fresh perspective.

At the heart of this timepiece lies the skeletonized Calibre UN-371, featuring a 96-hour power reserve and a pioneering wide silicon balance wheel borrowed from the Freak Vision. The 42mm sandblasted titanium case and frosted sapphire skeleton dial, achieved through advanced laser and metallization techniques, emphasize simplicity and subtle sophistication. Anthracite hands coated with grey Superluminova and a muted grey Alcantara strap enhance the minimalist look, while the open sapphire case back is engraved with Amoureuxpeintre’s signature.

Jean-Christophe Sabatier, Chief Product Officer at Ulysse Nardin, hails the collaboration as one of the brand’s most intricate projects. For Amoureuxpeintre, this watch embodies his belief in simplicity as a gateway to deeper meaning. The combination of clean design and masterful engineering transforms the Blast Amoureux Peintre into a true artistic statement.

By deconstructing traditional notions of time, Ulysse Nardin and Amoureuxpeintre have created a timepiece that transcends functionality to become a symbol of innovation and creativity.
