The Blast Moonstruck …
Now for something completely different.
Ulysse Nardin has just announced The Blast Moonstruck.
The watch reproduces the moon’s rotation, and replicates the movement of the sun around the globe and the tidal flow. It’s an interesting concept, to make a geocentric display that is relatively easy to understand, even for a beginner with no knowledge of astronomy.
The watch is housed in a 45mm case to enable all the information on the dial to be legible. Finished in black ceramic and black DLC-treated titanium. The movement is self winding and the complications include Dual Time, Moonphase and Perpetual Calendar.
The cost of adding this one to your collection will be approximately:
£65,790 - €78,800 - $ 88,700
The question is, are you tempted ?
If i have those money laying around, i would happily get this masterpiece...
Providing i can pull it off on my wrist. The lugs seems short and pointed downward so 45 mm maybe still wearable.
USD 88,000 still worth spent on this than two rolexes namely Tiffany OP and Steel Daytona
for me anyway

This one is continuing the moonstruck line.
With its upcoming independence, hopefully UN’s former glory days will return soon !
In complete agreement here dear Gordon, hope they return to the classic designs, and the super unusual complications that UN is famous for. One can always dream...
Also thank you Captain for the great write up!🥂
I’m looking forward to seeing …
How things develop for UN. Definitely promising if this one is anything to go by.
Love the dial
But I don’t like the case. Should have been rose gold or steel. I find that for me UN often gets most of the details right but then does something that turns me off.
I love it.
The dial is glorious, peak UN in my mind. The case simply purposeful and emphasizes the dial instead of the case itself. Do you know which stone was used for the Sun pendant and which for the Moon? Well worth the asking price in my opinion.... Cheers, Filip
Some strong UN DNA here!
Really impressed by this release. The complications, the way it works ….. all very UN from their best era. But its looks and is cased in a modern and current way. Bravo!
If I had the money, would definitely buy one!

It looks most exciting…
Any pictures of the back available yet?
I would love to see how this looks in the real on a wrist… love the ideas behind the complication, a great perspective on things!
