NEW 2022 Ulysse Nardin Blast Rainbow
all colors in the rainbow
Prismatic hues surround Ulysse Nardin's new watch for Geneva Watch Days 2022
One of the founding brands of the Geneva Watch Days (GWD), Ulysse Nardin always presents its best products of the year at the summer extravaganza in the city of watchmaking. This year, Ulysse Nardin brings more than just watches to GWD - it brings a rainbow! Two new styles, the Blast Rainbow and the Lady Diver Rainbow, represent the brand's adventure in color.
Launched in 2020, the Ulysse Nardin Blast, the Sparkling Blast embodies the brand's reputation for subverting traditional watchmaking. Its irregularly-cut diamonds (inspired by the asymmetrical design of stealth aircraft) break up the reflection and refraction of light, distinguishing it from the more familiar brilliant-set or baguette-set pieces. With the Blast Rainbow and Lady Diver Rainbow, the light is broken up differently, not by being scattered by a precision cut diamond, but by the use of coloured gemstones to separate it into different shades.Urwerk UR-100V UltraViolet
The trend of using a range of gem-set watches to echo the colors of the rainbow is nothing new by any means, but for Ulysse Nardin, these watches are a natural continuation of the aesthetics they have built using silicon components.
Components such as the anchor and escape wheel have an iridescent blue or violet effect due to the oxidation of the silicon components, making them suitable for watchmaking (Ulysse Nardin was an industry pioneer in this process). Blast Rainbow and Lady Diver Rainbow expand on the theme of iridescence to include intensely pigmented shades in their selection of gemstones that fall more into the realm of this polychromatic phenomenon than the simple colors we associate with rainbow representations . watch replica swiss
The bezel of the Blast Rainbow is exclusively set with famous gems such as rubies (red) and sapphires (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple), while the two versions of the Lady Diver use a variety of semi-precious stones in addition to rubies and Sapphire, as well as tsavorite (green), peridot (light green), topaz (sky blue), aquamarine (light blue), and amethyst (purple).
In keeping with the sporty nature of these two versions, the Blast Rainbow and Lady Diver come with black rubber straps. The brilliance of the gemstone complements the black DLC-coated case, although the Lady Diver Rainbow is also available in a stainless steel version on a white rubber strap, offering more options for those who prefer this feminine (though equally vibrant) expression of Ulysse Made in Nardin surface.
