To honor the 125th Anniversary of the legendary St.Moritz Tobogganing Club, the famous watch manufacturer Ulysse Nardin is presenting a Cresta Run Limited Edition of 12 timepieces. Its creation to a large extent can be attributed to the management of Rolf Schnyder, the owner of Ulysse Nardin Watch Company. It is this man that propels Ulysse Nardin through the deep sea of human imagination towards its destiny as one of horology’s cornerstones. The legendary English Cresta Run is one of Rolf Schnyder’s favorite pursuits. He is an active life-member of the Cresta Club and has been riding the Run continuously over the last 40 years.

What the Cresta Run Limited Edition is worth commend most is the exclusive dial design. Framed by the 18kt white gold case, the unique three dimensional dial employs the famous colors of the Cresta Club and highlights the hand-engraved 18kt white gold plates to mark the commemoration dates of the Anniversary. The centrally mounted hands is used to display the time. A small second timer is placed at 6 o’clock, coupled with the 2-digit Big Date at 2 o’clock.
