Ulysse Nardin Classico Lady Luna

Ulysse Nardin presented a new feminine timepiece Classico Lady Luna. The new model by Ulysse Nardin praises the beauty and majesty of the moon. This heavenly body has an impact on many natural phenomena for millenniums. Watches allow observing the lunar phases without any extra effort.

The Classico Luna image has similarities with the legendary Moonstruck watch: both models display the moon phases and the philosophy of their creation is inextricably linked with the principles of the mechanical arts that Ludwig Oechslin laid down. The moon is illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth as the Earth rotates around the axis. In the Classico Luna model the visible part of the moon is displayed by the special indicator on the dial. Spinning, it imitates the Earth and makes one rotation per 12 hours. In order to have time to complete a full 29.5 day lunar cycle, the color of the lunar phase indicator on the watch dial will vary depending on whether the moon is in waning gibbous or in a waning crescent phase.

Settings of the lunar calendar made by using a button located between 4 and 5 o’clock position. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail: the classic image, the mother of pearl dial and the hour hand representing the sun. Aesthetics Classico Lady Luna conceals expressiveness, mystery and unique charm.  Especially you can feel it while looking at the dial and the bezel set with diamonds.
