Enamel: Much more Pretty

Enameling is just about the world’s oldest art sorts, dating back to around the thirteenth century BC. However , the item wasn’t until the 17th centuries AD that watchmakers started to adopt the craft. Inside watchmaking world, enamelling has been used to create dials, primarily in simple solid tones (usually white, cream and infrequently black), before evolving in bolder hues and complex patterns.

 

Created in the mid-19th century, Ulysse Nardin initially focused on the creation of marine chronometers. Its skills was focused on technical triumphs that enabled it to produce exceptional accuracy far further than other nautical instruments and the majority.

“For over a hundred years, we have been leading the way in underwater timekeeping for navies world wide, ” explains Jean-Christophe Sabatier, Chief Product Officer with Ulysse Nardin. “Enamel knobs have always been an essential part of these kind of instruments, as they are not battling with temperature changes, humidity as well as UV rays. ”

 

However , preserving typically the ancient craft of enamelling was not the brand’s main concern. It was the legendary Rolf Schnyder (former CEO involving Ulysse Nardin) who definitely doubled down on the brand’s use of the art form.

“To incorporate tooth enamel, we faced three obstacles, ” explains Sabatier. “Weight, to ensure that the movement factors could function properly; measurement, to ensure that the watch remained sensibly thick; and tolerances, seeing that firing the enamel on high temperatures could cause the watch dial to deform. ”

 

As a result, the Maison chose 22K rose gold (917 gold and 83 bronze) for the disc, due to its great thermal stability.
