Ulysse Saint-Petersbourg by Beauregard x Vianney Halter
Beauregard, known for jewelry expertise, has collaborated with independent watchmaker Vianney Halter to create the Ulysse Saint-Petersbourg, a limited edition timepiece inspired by Art Deco and the marine universe, with a particular nod to Fabergé masterpieces. This second iteration of the Ulysse Collection features a unique dial composed of 85 hand-carved colored gemstones set in rose gold lacework, with hour and minute hands driven by an innovative mechanism developed with Halter.
- Limited edition of 10 pieces
- Price: CHF 148,000 excl. taxes
The dial features a rose gold lacework with 85 colored gemstones, including rock crystals, amethysts, fanta opals, fire opals, topazes, yellow opals, and peridots, set on a mother-of-pearl disc.
Hour and minute hands are mounted unconventionally to follow the dial's architecture, driven by an innovative mechanism with internal peripheral gearing.
The self-winding movement is based on the UhrTeil AG SA-30 architecture and features Vianney Halter's mysterious winding system with a transparent sapphire disc as the rotor.
The movement's rotor is engraved with the names of Alexandre Beauregard and Vianney Halter, and the Latin maxim 'Vulnerant omnes, ultima necat'.
The 41mm pink gold case has a domed sapphire crystal, a sapphire caseback, and a crown adorned with a peridot.
Despite its 41mm diameter, the watch wears smaller due to its 45.5mm lug-to-lug distance.
The watch is presented on a chestnut alligator strap without stitching, fitted with an 18K rose gold pin buckle.
