Celebrate Independence Day with Ulysse Nardin’s “Stars and Stripes” Executive Tourbillon

Ulysse Nardin Stars And Stripes Executive Tourbillon

Happy 4th July y’all! Yeah so, we’re not quite as into the whole hotdogs and fireworks celebration of American independence as our trans-Atlantic cousins. The same can’t be said of Ulysse Nardin though, with their stars and stripes-themed limited edition of the Executive Tourbillon.

Ulysse Nardin Stars And Stripes Executive TourbillonFitted with the UN-171 with tourbillon it’s one hell of statement watch, made all the more so by the patriotic white, red and blue of the star-spangled banner. It even has a dedication to the US Navy, with whom the watchmaker apparently shares over a century of dedication to nautical precision and values”.

Limited to 50 examples (one for each state, of course) the The Ulysse Nardin Executive Tourbillon Stars and Stripes has a price tag of 46,000 good ol’ American dollars (just under £35,000). It’s substantial to be sure, but is any price too high for freedom? #makewatchesgreatagain
