Executive Tourbillon Skeleton Free Wheel Manager is one of the most striking creations of ULYSSE NARDIN. It completely subverts the watchmaking process. The mechanical wheel is under sapphire crystal Freewheeling like a space fantasy.
The Manager’s Freedom Tourbillon watch breaks the traditional watch design, allowing the mechanical gear train to act like a separate individual on the face of a science fiction scene
The Athenian Manager Tourbillon Freewheel uses luxury rose gold or white gold, equipped with a new movement developed for a long time and a star-studded sapphire glass dome, exceeding the world’s expectations for modern watchmaking technology and technology. The 18K rose gold case has a diameter of 44 mm and is carved from slate (culture stone), while the 18K white gold model uses a stylish black honeycomb grid.
The watch does not have a bezel design. Instead, it is covered with a ‘sapphire glass dome’. Therefore, in addition to the front, the three-dimensional structure of the movement can also be seen on the side of the watch.
The most amazing feature of the watch is the tourbillon bridge on the faceplate, a 7-day power reserve display like a boomerang at 4 o’clock, the hour hand, minute hand and gorgeous gear system, and other components, as if suspended above the faceplate. The sapphire glass that surrounds these ‘flying’ components is another extraordinary design. Its complicated and delicate effects, especially the polishing of the angle of the mirror, can only be achieved after a long and arduous experiment. The back of the case also uses sapphire glass, but this side cannot see through the interior. All delicate components are only visible on the dial, completely subverting the watchmaking tradition.
The seven-point and four-point directions of the faceplate are displayed on the 7-day power reserve of the flying tourbillon and boomerang, respectively.
The rose gold version uses a slate face plate, while the white gold version uses a black honeycomb grid face plate to show different tones.
The brand created a new UN-176 mechanical movement independently developed by the Athenian watchmaking factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. It is equipped with an anchor flying tourbillon with constant power output, and uses a silicon material with a low friction coefficient. Instead of metal or synthetic ruby, this is a pioneering technology that replaces the traditional Swiss lever escapement. The bracelet of the Athenian Manager Liberty Tourbillon watch is made of carbon fiber matte crocodile leather, which is extremely soft.
