Limited Edition of 28 Pieces

The delightful daring of the burlesque dancer is brought to life by Ulysse Nardin. A limited edition, each features miniature paintings on the dial and Jaquemarts to highlight the hourstriker function. This charming and delicate figure gazes seductively out at the viewer, posing in her high heel sandals with a flower in her hair and her modesty barely hidden by the colorful explosion of peacock feathers.

Enveloped by the extravagance of the peacock's tail and wing, the sensual curves of our mysterious dancer are revealed by the hourstriker function, when they sweep back to expose her naked beauty. This complication one of the most intricate in mechanical timekeeping comes alive on the hour, the half-hour and whenever the push-button is activated by the wearer. One of the first manufacturers to lead the revival of the hourstriker mechanism, Ulysse Nardin is also one of the few to employ Jaquemarts to set them off.
