A limited-edition masterpiece fuses minimalism with deep storytelling

Ulysse Nardin is at it again—shaking up the watch world with a daring new collaboration. Teaming up with Kyrgyzstan-born designer and artist Amoureuxpeintre, the independent Swiss watchmaker has reimagined its signature Skeleton X, stripping it down to the essentials while making a bold artistic statement.

At first glance, the BLAST [Amoureuxpeintre] is a study in monochromatic cool. A 42mm anthracite titanium case gives it a sleek, lightweight feel, while the frosted sapphire dial creates a hazy, dreamlike effect—like peering through frosted glass, seeing just enough but never the full picture.

This is no accident. Amoureuxpeintre, known for pushing boundaries in fashion and design, was inspired by the way everyday elements, like glass partitions, distort and obscure. He wanted to convey the idea that time isn’t just about telling the hours—it’s about perception, interpretation, and curiosity.

Beneath the ghostly dial, Ulysse Nardin’s in-house UN-371 movement beats with a 96-hour power reserve, showcasing the brand’s signature horological prowess. The watch’s skeletonised movement peeks through, revealing just enough to make you want to look closer—exactly what Amoureuxpeintre intended. The anthracite hands, coated with grey Super-LumiNova, keep things legible without disrupting the watch’s moody aesthetic.

The details are meticulous: a stripped-down, texture-free crown, a grey Alcantara strap with an anthracite PVD titanium buckle, and a custom frosted sapphire case back featuring Amoureuxpeintre’s signature. Even the presentation box follows the theme—tonal, understated, yet striking in its execution.

With only 29 pieces available, the BLAST [Amoureuxpeintre] is not only thought-provoking but exclusive. It’s a timepiece that challenges traditional watchmaking norms, much like Ulysse Nardin’s game-changing Freak did back in 2001. More than just a watch, it’s a piece of wearable art—one that invites you to slow down, take a closer look, and find meaning in the details.
