Haute Time Visits Ulysse Nardin Boutique in New York
Last week Haute Time had the chance to visit the new Ulysse Nardin boutique in New York City. The boutique, which is located in the Ritz-Carlton on the edge of Central Park, housed some pieces we had previously only seen in photo, including the absolutely exceptional Genghis Khan.
Here’s your exclusive look at what we saw:
Genghis Khan Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts Minute Repeater
This piece took our breath away when we saw it in-store. The 42mm 18K rose gold case, which is set with 120 baguette diamonds, houses a black onyx dial with gold automatons. On the hour, quarter hour and minute the figures come to life along with the Westminster chime. The one minute tourbillon is also visible on the dial. Limited to an edition of 30 pieces.
