From Jade to Diamond

 

Dubai, UAE, March 13, 2018:  Ulysse Nardin presents the new 37 mm Classico Jade: five small-sized steel models available in blue, gray, or red with a mother-of-pearl dial embellished with a wave of diamonds. 

 

In 2013, Ulysse Nardin launched the Jade, paying homage to a revered gem that the Chinese royal court considered as a concentrate of magic in mineral form, a true link between heaven and earth. Today, five years later, five new Jade models put the spotlight on an even more precious stone: the diamond.

 

These superb round-case styles are the newest additions to the Classic collection. The hour, minute, and second hands are driven by the collection’s star caliber: the automatic-winding UN-815 move-ment, an example of reliability incarnated. These new releases combine Fine Watchmaking tech-niques and materials with artisanal expertise and style.

 

A breathtaking new look: ten diamonds form a delicate, featherlight wave pattern in the lower left quarter of the mother-of-pearl dial. 76 other stones illuminate the stainless steel bezel. 

 

Feminine colors enhance the mother-of-pearl’s multitude of shades and the incandescent light of the diamonds: blue on the leather strap and large Arabic numerals, garnet on the strap and indicators, or even white on the strap and gray on the dial. The blue and gray versions are also offered with a more subtle stainless steel bezel without the diamond setting. 

 

It’s been five years, but the wait has been worth it: Five new models have arrived. Five fine incarna-tions of timeless femininity. Offered at a competitive price, as beautiful during the day as at night, worn with jeans or an evening dress, these are our new contemporary classics. The ideal companions for the modern woman’s lifestyle.
