The Carthaginian military commander Hannibal Barca is considered one of the world’s greatest military leaders and one of the greatest generals of antiquity. Known simply as “Hannibal,” in his quest to take Rome during the Second Punic War, he marched an army, including elephants, across the Pyrenees and Alps to take victory in Italy. Ulysse Nardin depicts this journey in movement and sound on the limited edition Ulysse Nardin Hannibal Minute Repeater Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts. The dial has a display of Hannibal on horseback with his elephants and regiment of warriors by his side. These mechanized figures, known as “jaquemarts,” as well as the mountainous backdrop and surrounding terrain, are hand-carved from 18k white gold and mounted on granite sourced from the same mountain chain Hannibal and his brigade crossed in the third century B.C. The caliber UN-78 movement contains a one-minute tourbillon, integrated and visible on the dial, and a Westminster Carillon minute repeater. The minute repeater has four gongs, each with a different tone. The four gongs sound in three different sequences for the quarters. Hannibal The jaquemarts on the dial are synchronized with the sound of the gongs and move to the minutes, quarters and hours, or to a combination of these units of time, displaying the narrative of Hannibal and his journey.
