My feelings have changed about the Executive Skeleton Tourbillon
Arie posted on this watch recently, and like others, I was a bit disturbed by the large rectangle on the dial. The strap attachment is also a different style than we are used to, and maybe a bit odd.
On my recent visit to Bermuda to support the UN sponsored Team Artemis boat, I came across the titanium and blue ceramic version of this watch. In fact, I saw it on someone's wrist and thought "whoa, what is that?" Very alluring from a few feet away.
I was able to examine it up close and can only say that in person the watch is much better than in photos. I took some anyways, they seem to highlight the rectangle as other photos have. But live, on the wrist, it really was a great looking watch. I am generally not a fan of such airy and open pieces, but it really works OK on this Ulysse Nardin model. The color and finish of the titanium case middle is cool, and the color is a bit darker than we are used to. Even the strap attachment seemed OK, although the woven pattern on this style does accentuate the 2 strips that insert into the case. The movement is striking, and has a power reserve of 1 full week.
Overall, a compelling option that just looks very good on the wrist, where it most counts.

I didn't see it yet in the flesh but your new feeling about this timepiece is interesting.
Even if I'm ok with the strap attachment, I really don't like the rectangle on the dial and, to be honest, I don't know if I'll have a confirmation or not of my feeling when I'll see this UN in real. Wait and see. Best wishes Alkiro
It is one I consider so "close"
No, I won't buy it either. But it has 90%+ going for it. Maybe a future updated version will grab me.
Doing well, beyond busy these days...
My calendar from May - August is just packed solid. Every day is something. This brief Bermuda trip was a welcomed reprieve. Hope you are great too my Friend
I don't mind the rectangle....
However, when I wanted to purchase the original Executive Dual Time, the very shiny bezel turned me off. I didn't like it at all (neither do I like the latest bezels from Omega and Cartier.) In the pics I've seen so far of the Blue Tour the bezel appears ...
