The most recent addition to the Classico Collection, the “Year of the Rooster” timepiece celebrates the energetic panache of the rooster, a confident and dynamic animal, which rules the roost with hard work and innate talent.
Ulysse Nardin has perfectly captured the rooster’s natural energy. It is the centuries-old champlevé method of enameling that brings the artist’s sketch to life. The champlevé technique is an art mastered by very few, that involves the carving of cells with a chisel directly on the dial, which are then filled with enamel. Its colors come from the careful blending of different metallic oxides. The piece is then fired until the enamel melts.
For 2017, Ulysse Nardin introduces the “Year of the Rooster”, a limited edition of 88 pieces in 18-karat rose gold. This timepiece is powered by a self-winding UN-815 movement with its COSC certification.
