Ulysse Nardin

The controlled speed of the retrograde hand is truly eye-catching... this visual rendering is achieved thanks to the use of nanowires which act like on a sailing boat! Click on the bottom image! Fx...  

I do not know why but when I saw this UN, I immediately thought about the VC retrograde Saltarello ref. 43041

Thanks for sharing.

Another brilliant innovation from Ulysse Nardin.

I'm less convinced by the design to be frank with you. But what a mesmerizing hand! Fx

..my concern would be that, while driving at the turn of the hour, I would surely veer off the road trying to get a good view of it!

Amazing work by him again

I mean, did he specifically work on the rerograde hand system? Thanks. Fx

The entire movement was constructed by Claret. SJX also confirmed this on his website directly from UN

It is strange to have this kind of confirmation directly from the players since for contractual reasons they many times stay silent... Fx

Would drive me absolutely insane. While it is a cool feature and motion, waiting for the minute hand each hour is not exactly time efficient (pun intended).

I don't remember having seen a slow-mo retrograde hand before. Thanks. Fx

Just curious. Cheers

It is due to the behaviour of the nanowires I suppose. Thanks. Fx
