ULYSSE NARDIN UFO

The simplistic name bestowed upon this clock is undeniably self-explanatory given its unique shape. Offering something for the desk instead of the wrist this year, Ulysse Nardin presents UFO. Yet another piece that pays homage to the auction’s colour codes, this “unidentified floating object” was originally released in metallic blue, of which all the 75 limited-edition pieces released in April 2021

have already sold out. As with its blue brethren, this one-off orange-hued timepiece traces Ulysse Nardin’s nautical-immersed horological history, while serving as the brand’s interpretation of

a marine chronometer’s appearance 175 years into the future. Its six extra-large barrels provide one year of power reserve, while its three trapezoidal dials allow a display of three different time zones at once, viewable from three different angles.

Estimate: US$65,000-US$87,000
