Ulysse Nardin and the Cannes Film Festival have joined forces to ignite a new spark of art, beauty and excellence. The alliance is obvious. Making a watch and making a film have much in common.
Inspired by the Falcon Millennium piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca, the Hyper-space has the same shock effect on the viewer as the legendary Star Wars craft; in both cases, the “Freak Me Out” factor is explosive, two luminaries taking perfor-mance and aesthetics to new heights. How one thing of beauty can be created by so many parts is a mystery of great art but perfection is in the details.
Made of ultra-light titanium, a flying silicium tourbillon and a 7-day power reserve, each watch with a personality as individual as its owner. The aerial design includes an art piece along with the oversized Roman numerals, sword markers and rectan-gular bridge. The UN-171 manufacture movement has been stripped bare of every microgram of unnecessary mechanics, testimony to the evidence that less is indeed more. It is powered by a “hyperspace” flying tourbillon - a vortex of watchmaking mastery and a complication only attempted by the very best.
