VIDEO: The Ulysse Nardin Blast is a pyrotechnic expression of haute horology
Ulysse Nardin has charged into the fray in 2020 with the release of the new Ulysse Nardin Blast, launched just before Geneva Watch Days. While the brand has an extensive archive of marine chronometers that have inspired a number of nautical-themed wristwatches, the design language of the Blast collection is unashamedly expressive in its ambition. The boldly styled 45mm case is a relatively slim 11mm thick, offering a statement piece that still wears comfortably on the wrist. As you might expect from the Le Locle watchmaker, the case construction is complex, and comprises a rose gold upper case, a black DLC-coated titanium middle case and a polished ceramic bezel. Housed within this angular, multi-faceted case is the in-house UN-172, an automatic winding tourbillon with a healthy 72 hours of power reserve. The gyrating tourbillon cage is visible at the 6 o’clock position, while 12 o’clock is reserved for the rose gold micro-rotor, another visually exciting feature on the face of the watch. The Ulysse Nardin Blast has a recommended retail price in Australia ranging from $71,050 to $87,150 for the Blast Gold, depending on the model, and will be available from authorised UN dealers across the country.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: The return of the event and the revenge of the nerds
This week involved not one, but two Time+Tide events and, of course, a very significant one for the industry, which was Geneva Watch Days. We were there, with Marcus, our Creative Director, and a good friend, Mike Christensen, running the show — there are some delicious, funny and quirky videos in production from the event that we’ll be sharing very soon! Here is one shot to whet your appetite for a brand the boys checked in on on their travels: Hublot and the Big Bang Unico Sky Blue. The first event of ours was in Sydney to celebrate the arrival of a brace of Louis Vuitton’s finest Geneva Seal watches. If you’ve never had the chance to lay your eyes on these rare birds, we recommend you do, here. Simply because the chance of a new discovery is high, and the chance to have your eyebrows raised is also likely. This effect was in full force on Monday night, when 25 guests convened in a typically lavish Louis Vuitton apartment-style space to experience them on the wrist. I was meant to be MC-ing, but given that we’re still barely permitted to leave our houses, let alone our state, hosting duties were…
