DescriptionThe Classico Manara Manufacture series, particularly the Ref. 3203-136LE-2/MANARA.03, stands as a testament to Ulysse Nardin's commitment to artistic expression within the precise world of horology. Each of the ten exclusive watches in this series is a canvas for the Italian erotic comic book artist, Milo Manara, whose mythical sea of desire is vividly brought to life through exquisite miniature painting. Nestled within a 40mm stainless steel case, the detailed artwork invites the wearer into a dreamlike narrative, underscored by the technical excellence of the UN-320 caliber. This self-winding movement, composed of 227 meticulously assembled parts, boasts a 48-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4Hz, ensuring that the storytelling and timekeeping are in constant, harmonious motion.

In crafting this unique timepiece, Ulysse Nardin has utilized silicium in the escapement, a material known for its durability and precision. The illustrative dial, protected by a sapphire crystal, doubles as a stage where the hands, discreet and elegant, glide over Manara's creation, allowing the imagery to take center stage. The leather strap complements the artwork and ensures the watch sits comfortably on the wrist, merging luxury with wearability. Each watch in the series is individually numbered, elevating its status as not just a timekeeper, but a piece of wearable art, celebrating the union of two distinct but intertwined crafts.
