Ulysse Nardin Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel Watch

"Time flies!" - I quite like the application of this otherwise rather tired idiom that Ulysse Nardin chose, because it does in fact go neatly with their new Ulysse Nardin Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel; a watch that appears to have a deficiency in the wheel connection department Even less-than-hardcore watch lovers will know, that a flying tourbillon is a tourbillon that is only secured from underneath, but not from above, and that's what you'll see at the 6 o'clock position on the dial of the Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel Normally, a tourbillon movement has the mainspring, a center wheel and a third wheel that transfer drive, whereas the fourth wheel being fixed.

The third wheel drives a pinion that is linked to the tourbillon carriage, and the escape wheel's pinion travels around the periphery of the fixed fourth wheel Ulysse Nardin is particularly proud of the "Ultra box-domed sapphire glass" crystal on the Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel, and it sure does look amazing in the official images After all this has been said, I must note that the Ulysse Nardin Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel is one mysterious, and consequently fascinating concept - precisely the sort that we have been seeing less and less of in recent years.

Fortunately for everyone involved, I didn't have to use my imagination to determine the price of the Ulysse Nardin Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel: in 18ct rose gold price is $96,000 and in 18ct white gold it costs $99,000. . Source
