The renowned Swiss watchmaker, Ulysse Nardin, in collaboration with Italian erotic comic artist and playwright Milo Manara, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Manara’s masterpiece, ‘Click!’. This limited edition collection pays homage to the vivid and sensuous imagery that has defined Manara’s illustrious career.
Milo Manara, a distinguished artist from northern Italy, has been a pivotal figure in the realm of erotic illustrations and scripts for over fifty years. His formal training in painting and his intensive study of legendary painters like Rubens, Caravaggio, and De Chirico, have greatly influenced his unique style. Known for his masterful realism in erotic comics, Manara’s ‘Click!’ remains a landmark work since its creation in 1983.
In this exquisite collection, Ulysse Nardin showcases the Cloisonné Enamel Miniature Art on the dial, incorporating rhodium-plated hands with Super Luminova for nighttime visibility. The watch features a 40mm 904L stainless steel case and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. With water resistance up to 30 meters, it caters to both style and functionality. The matte black alligator leather strap adds a touch of sophistication, secured with a pin buckle for a comfortable fit.
At the heart of this timepiece is the top-grade ultra-thin 2892 automatic movement, renowned for its precision with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This exclusive collection is limited to just 120 pieces across three designs, each with a unique engraving at the 9 o’clock position, ensuring exclusivity for collectors.
This collaboration beautifully bridges the watchmaking mastery of Ulysse Nardin with the artistic brilliance of Milo Manara, creating a tribute not only to ‘Click!’ but to the enduring impact of sensual art in modern culture.
