In a world of luxury watches, where extravagance, dazzling details and technical complexity often dominate, it is rare to find something that stands out for its simplicity. But Ulysse Nardin has once again proven that it knows how to push the boundaries and change the rules of the game. This time, it has teamed up with artist Amoureuxpeintre to create a true masterpiece – a watch that plays with minimalism, brutalist aesthetics and Swiss precision.
Ulysse Nardin Blast [Amoureuxpeintre] is not just another luxury watch. It is a work of art that redefines the concept of a skeletonized dial, breathes fresh air into industrial design and exudes subtle elegance. The limited edition of just 29 pieces is not intended for the masses, but for sophisticated watch lovers who appreciate aesthetics in both fashion and architecture.
A Unique Partnership: When Art Meets Watchmaking
The collaboration between Ulysse Nardin and Amoureuxpeintre, known by his real name Vsevolod 'Sever' Cherepanov, has brought together two worlds – fine Swiss watchmaking and avant-garde artistic vision. Known for his love of brutalist architecture and minimalist fashion, Cherepanov brought to this collaboration a distinctive aesthetic philosophy that emphasizes simplicity, raw textures and refined details.
Design: “Blurred” skeleton dial
The Ulysse Nardin Blast [Amoureuxpeintre] is based on the classic Blast Skeleton X model, but with a revolutionary twist. Its most distinctive feature is the sapphire dial with a special matte effect that creates the impression of fogged glass. This smoky look is the result of two years of experimentation with laser engraving and delicate metallization technologies, which create a subtle play of light and shadow.
The minimalist approach is also evident in the crown, which has lost its traditional ribbed texture, blending aesthetically with the anthracite titanium case. This detail further emphasizes the watch's modern brutalist design.
Materials and colors: Subtle luxury
The watch is made of lightweight yet extremely durable titanium, sandblasted for a sophisticated matte finish. The anthracite color matches perfectly with the gray Alcantara strap, which is both aesthetically and tactilely perfect and provides superior wearing comfort.
Exclusivity: Limited Collector's Edition
Only 29 pieces of the Ulysse Nardin Blast [Amoureuxpeintre] will be available at a price of €33,100, making this watch one of the most exclusive and sought-after pieces of contemporary watchmaking. Its uniqueness lies not only in its limited edition, but also in its innovative design, which changes the perception of luxury watches and proves that luxury does not always mean extravagance, but also refined subtlety.
A watch for visionaries
The Ulysse Nardin Blast [Amoureuxpeintre] is a watch that transcends the boundaries of watchmaking and sets new rules for those who appreciate art, design and craftsmanship, but are also looking for something different – something that tells a story of minimalist elegance and technical innovation.
In a world where luxury is often associated with glitter, this watch offers a sophisticated alternative: raw, mysterious and immensely elegant.
