The new Blast lights up in a rainbow of invisibly set sapphires. The new Blast Sparkling Rainbow is a limited edition of eight watches that takes the Blast’s uncompromising form and elevates it with a dazzling array of colored sapphires to create one of the most spectacular watches ever to emerge from Ulysse Nardin’s Le Locle Manufacture. It is decorated with 211 colored sapphires invisibly set into the case, bezel, crown, dial and clasp, totaling 13.33 carats. Together, these stones transform the Blast, so that as well as being an avant-garde design and technical tour de force, the Blast Sparkling Rainbow also becomes a high-jewelry masterpiece.

The Tradition Reinvented
The Blast collection exploded onto the scene in 2020, since when it has become a symbol of Ulysse Nardin’s unconventional, endlessly disruptive approach to mechanical watch design and movement creation.
