With oversized Roman numerals, three-dimensional hands and a boldly sized date, it is the perfect companion for the yachtsman.   Its sleek bezel and plus and minus pushers at the eight and ten o’clock position, are crafted in ceramic, and from underneath its protective sapphire-crystal cover, the self-winding movement mechanism can be seen.

Ulysse-Nardin Genghis Khan Complication

The Genghis Khan will be produced for the next 6-8 years in a limited edition.

The visible one minute Tourbillon is integrated into the Aventurine dial. Opaque or translucent, containing crystals that were engendered by fire in molten glass, Aventurine scintillates, subtly flecked with all possible shades of red, yellow and grey. Forged by human hands, often compared to the philosopher"s stone, Aventurine contains the secrets of the master jeweller’s alchemy.
