NO RESERVE

This Clasico, number 15 of a limited series of 25 pieces, was created in 2021 to mark the 25th Anniversary of The Hour Glass Ginza. It is the very first example of the reference to appear publicly at auction: the salmon-toned dial is finished with a refined radial guilloché pattern. Applied Breguet numerals and Breguet-style hands complete the ensemble. At six o’clock, a recessed subdial provides subtle balance, while the absence of a date aperture, customized at the specific request of The Hour Glass team, reflects the refined vision of Mr. Momoi and his colleagues. Ulysse Nardin, whose modern identity has long been tied to Ludwig Oechslin’s celebrated calendar mechanisms, chose in this instance to sacrifice complication for purity, achieving what The Hour Glass Japan described as “a simpler and more elegant design.” The watch is powered by Ulysse Nardin’s in-house UN-320 caliber, incorporating silicium technology in both the escapement and hairspring,offering reduced friction, superior stability, and exceptional chronometric performance.This watch represents a rare opportunity to acquire not only one of Ulysse Nardin’s most striking contemporary creations, but also a timepiece born of a special collaboration with one of the most respected retailers in the world.
