Magnificent Minute Repeater Venice Watch by Ulysse Nardin
Venice has always been a source of inspiration, and it is difficult to resist the beauty of this magical city, including the watchmakers’ of the Swiss company Ulysse Nardin, who managed to convey its romanticism and elegance in a limited collection Minute Repeater Venice. The new line combines the imagination of designers and high watchmaking.
Back in 1980, the company released a San Marco collection, which has become so emblematic of the brand. It revived the lost art of making minute repeaters. The company once again proved its status by submitting a new invention - Jaquemarts. This is a kind of miniature figures on the dial, the movements of which are synchronized with the movement of the hands and the sound of the gong. The masters of Ulysse Nardin use jaquemarts on the dials of the minute repeaters of their models.
On the dials of the new Minute Repeater Venice (Ref: 719-63) watch unfolds the story: two frozen masked silhouettes against the Rialto Bridge, which connects the banks of the Grand Canal. Figures are waiting merriment. As soon as the watch strikes, the participants of the Venetian carnival come to life and remove masks, and jaquemarts start moving to the music.

The watch dial is made in champlevé technique. It should be noted that at present only a few artisans familiar with the art that can pass it in miniature. These masters are the watchmakers of Ulysse Nardin, who own this art to perfection. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial.
