Ulysse Nardin continues their quest to innovate with cutting edge materials for watchmaking. The latest example of their extensive research and development is the Sonata Silicium watch, which is notable for its extensive application of silicon parts, both for aesthetic and technical purposes.  You can see a section of it on the dial, where it gives the famously intricate Sonata face an even bolder look.  Turn the watch over, and you will also catch a glimpse of it in the escapement of the watch; in fact, the hairspring itself is made of silicon, quite an extraordinary feat!

The Ulysse Nardin Sonata watch is an exceptional timepiece, in any of its forms.  The addition of high-tech silicon components just adds a bit more frosting to the proverbial cake, making this one a highly tempting acquisition for collectors who are dedicated to obtaining a collection of the finest examples of modern haute horlogerie.
