Ulysse Nardin Celebrates The Chinese New Year With The Classico Goat

Today marks the start of the Chinese New Year. In celebration, some top watch brands demonstrate their artistic expertise in horology by unveiling stunning watches dedicated to this Year of the Goat — the eighth symbol in the Chinese Zodiac.

Ulysse Nardin, for instance, releases the stunning Classico Goat watch created with an 18-karat gold dial that has been completely carved in the likeness of a family of goats and then hand-enameled to utmost beauty. The technique, called champlevé enamel, offers depth and beauty. The family of three goats, one black and two white, stand out majestically against a rich, dark blue-sky.

The Classico Goat watch is powered by the UN 815 mechanical movement, which can be seen via the transparent sapphire caseback. The watch is a COSC-certified chronometer, which means it has undergone stringent tests for water resistance, durability and other aspects, and has been found to pass the incredible standards. Just 88 pieces will be made. Ulysse Nardin is a master at enamel dial watches, and we have some that you can stop in and view any time.
