The Imperial St. Petersburg
Maxi Marine Chronometer Enamel, Limited Edition.

.

.
Ulysse Nardin has produced a new and once more unique Limited Edition timepiece: The Imperial St. Petersburg, which belongs to the Ulysse Nardin Marine Collection. This precious timepiece features a genuine hand-crafted oven-cured enamel dial with an applied gold double-headed Eagle (emblematic of St. Petersburg).

.

.
The Maxi Marine Chronometer is available in a Limited Edition of 30 pieces in platinum. The exhibition case back reveals the spectacular movement equipped with a 22 ct gold rotor.

.

.
It is officially certified self-winding movement (C.O.S.C) features the legendary oversized small seconds register and a large date display at 6 o’clock. According to its elegant 43 mm case, it is individually numbered and equipped with a screw-crown and sapphire crystals. It is also water-resistant to 100 meters.

.

.
The Imperial St. Petersburg is presented in an elaborate multi-layer white translucent enamel Egg of the Tsars decorated with 4.25 carats of diamonds. The diamonds have been employed in recreating legendary symbols of St. Petersburg. The Admiralty Spire, the Rostral Columns, the Arch of the General Staff Building and the famous drawbridges that open at night to allow for passage of large vessels can be seen picked-out in diamonds. Ulysse Nardin’s anchor serves to link the egg to the white marble base.

.

.
Both the Imperial St. Petersburg and its accompanying Egg of the Tsars are destined to become highly sought-after by collectors.

1962. The space race was well under way. Already a supplier to civilian and military aviation, Breitling naturally took a keen interest in this new human adventure. Based on the Navitimer chronograph, the brand’s technicians developed the Cosmonaute, a space-going version of this instrument indicating the daily 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial. Given the extremely relative nature of day and night in space, this configuration prevents possible confusion between midday and midnight. On May 24th 1962, the astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this instrument under real-life conditions during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule.
.
.
.
For its 125th anniversary, Breitling has chosen to issue a limited series of the model that became the first wrist chronograph to experience space travel. Only 1,000 of these Cosmonaute watches will be produced, all equipped for the occasion with an original version of the intriguing 24-hour dial. Further accentuating its distinctive character and in tribute to a modern design icon from the 1960s, the Cosmonaute Limited Edition is fitted exclusively with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet.
