Le fabricant neuchâtelois confie au valaisan la réalisation de ses complications en silicium depuis 2006.

En effet, pour son échappement dual direct, le poids doit être très léger, en fabricant les spiraux en silicium, The manufacturer says the Valais Neuchatel achieving its complications in silicon since 2006.

Indeed, for its dual exhaust line, the weight must be very light in the spiral manufacturer of silicon, it solved the technical problem

Now, Ulysse Nardin goes further, integrating the diamond for his weight (25% less than titanium, 10 times harder than he or steel). The diamond is virtually indestructible and is one more argument for the purchaser.

So now Sigatec combines diamonds with silicon covering parts of 50 microns to 5 microns thick diamond, which allows Ulysse Nardin incorporating this technology for its high-end.
