The Blast Moonstruck reproduces the moon’s rotation, the apparent movement of the sun around the globe as we observe it from Earth and a tidal chart. Designed to make this dance between the sun and the moon intelligible and intensely poetic, the geocentric display of the Blast Moonstruck is easy to understand, even for a beginner with no knowledge of astronomy.

The Blast Moonstruck, like all watches incorporating elaborated astronomical information, seeks to be a miniaturized extrapolation of the formidable turret clocks constructed towards the end of the Middle Ages by towns of consequence.

Designed to follow in the footsteps of the fabulous trilogy devised by Ludwig Oechslin from 1985, this watch puts aside the Copernican representation of our solar system in favor of a geocentric approach that is easier to read and understand for us others, the inhabitants of Earth.

Complex in appearance, it is easy to read and also easy to adjust, as all the information can be set from the winding crown.

For Explorers above and beyond the pale. Supercharged with classic Ulysse Nardin savoir-faire, Blast is an avatar of its time, a potent force of nature. A technological wonder made with rock-hard, masculine lines.

“The sun has a force that creates and destroys life. The moon influences the tides but also our nocturnal music and dreams.”  Ludwig Oechslin
