Ulysse Nardin’s Classic collection honors the beauty and charm of women with the Classico Lady Grand Feu, possessing a translucent enamel dial in four different shades to dazzle and delight. Innovation and tradition are united in the Classic collection, in which the fine art of enameling is highlighted through classically refined styling.
The Classico Lady Grand Feu continues to navigate this path with breath-taking aplomb. The UN-815 self-winding movement boasts characteristic precision performance, and drives a timepiece with a delicately hand-crafted enamel dial.
Ulysse Nardin was instrumental in reviving this almost lost art, integrating enamel specialists Donze Cadrans into the Ulysse Nardin family. Meticulous craftsmen continue a centuries-old tradition of fusing enamel powder in a kiln heated between appro,imately 760 and 900°C. The term Grand Feu, which means Great Fire in French, comes from this incredible heat.
Using a guilloche silver plate gives the enamel a finely rippled appearance which recalls Ulysse Nardin’s profound connection to the sea. Usually white or beige in color, the limited edition dials on the Lady Grand Feu are crafted in an array of delicate hues, and have a translucid quality which requires an even more comple, process than is usual for Grand Feu. The enamel powder required to produce such coloured dials is limited within the Donze Cadrans reserve. As a result, only a handful of these coloured Lady Grand Feu editions are available.
Held in a shining white gold case, the limited edition Grand Feu dials here are blue, lavender, sea foam green or pewter grey, and have chic matching straps. Because of their mastery of this difficult art, Donze Cadrans enamel dials are highly sought after by collectors around the world. In these gloriously feminine timepieces, their breath-taking enamel beauty is highlighted by exquisite diamonds encrusted on the bezel and lugs of each piece. Welcome the Classico Lady Grand Feu. Elegance is eternal.
