FREEWHEELIN’

Living up to its name, Ulysse Nardin’s Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel features gears that appear to defy gravity, with its ‘flying’ components — including the proprietary Ulysse Anchor Tourbillon — seemingly freewheeling beneath the box-domed sapphire glass. Flipping horological convention, most of the components of the brand-new manual-winding manufacture calibre UN-176 are showcased on the dial instead of

the caseback. It is offered in rose gold and white gold, with its dial in slate and a black honeycomb grid respectively.
