The Ulysse Nardin San Marco collection, launched in the early 1990s, marked a milestone in combining fine watchmaking with artistic expression. Featuring hand-crafted cloisonné enamel dials, each timepiece transforms into a miniature canvas, portraying historic landmarks, seascapes, and cultural icons. Reviving traditional techniques, the San Marco series celebrates storytelling through craftsmanship, making each watch a tribute to heritage and artistry. This specific example, limited to just 25 pieces and individually numbered 10, is dedicated to one of Switzerland’s most iconic symbols: the Matterhorn. Rising majestically against a gradient sky in rich tones of blue and white, the mountain is depicted in full cloisonné enamel, alongside a traditional alpine refuge and a proudly waving Swiss flag—evoking the serenity and strength of the Swiss Alps. The level of detail in the enamelwork, from the texture of the snowy peaks to the architectural shading of the lodge, is nothing short of breathtaking. The 37mm case in 18k yellow gold offers a classical silhouette, its warm tone harmonizing with the enamel palette. This watch is a celebration of place, memory, and the lasting artistry that defines Ulysse Nardin’s renaissance. A rare example where Swiss craftsmanship meets national homage, executed in the most refined medium of all: fire-painted enamel.
