Ulysse Nardin seduces with Royal Ruby, the latest addition to its Tourbillon collection.

An explosion of red erupts in the Royal Ruby Tourbillon by Ulysse Nardin, drawing upon the force of this precious gemstone to make a seductive, dramatic statement. Enhancing the timepiece’s fiery beauty is the bold spark of red across the face of the dial, catching the eye of its wearer to reveal the complex flying tourbillon mechanism.
Constructed along the principles of famous Swiss watchmaker James Pellaton, and with bridges and main plates crafted in ruby and sapphire, the flying tourbillon appears to defy gravity, resting and revolving weightlessly in its cage. As well, the movement parts are skeletonized and aligned in perfect symmetry, while the manual winding system is unseen. These fine nuances enhance the mystery of the flying tourbillon, as hours and minutes seem to magically pass by.
