The Skeleton Tourbillon 1706-129, brought in by a business partner, was non-functional. A 15-point initial examination revealed the need for a complete overhaul. Further diagnosis identified a broken barrel bridge and a damaged main plate barrel jewel. Not only have our technicians undergone specialised training in Switzerland by Ulysse Nardin, but we are also equipped with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, including brand-specific tools and diagnostic machinery, to ensure the most precise and meticulous care for the brand’s most intricate timepieces. To address the issues of the this watch, a special toolkit was ordered from Ulysse Nardin and the technical team completed the necessary repairs.

The Ulysse Nardin Skeleton Tourbillon 1706-129, crafted in 18k rose gold, offers a captivating glimpse into the heart of horological artistry. Though it only displays hours and minutes, the skeletonized dial, with its hand-finished bridges and blued steel screws, transforms the movement into a mesmerising work of art, making it a visual feast for anyone who delights in being enchanted by the inner workings of their watch. The Tourbillon, a rotating cage that counteracts the effects of gravity on the timekeeping mechanism, adds a layer of complexity and sophistication to this already remarkable timepiece.
