But that is no reason to buy a watch. Love, on the other hand... follow the heart

New model, Ulysse Nardin BLAST!

Lots to discuss here. New UN-172 movement, platinum micro rotor, automatic tourbillon, self-deploying buckle, radical new case. 4 variations, some quick pics for now. ...
A different kind of UN innovation here.

This one is very aggressive looking. Not the charming quality that was abundant on older releases like the Sonata. I am likely not a purchaser of this model, but look forward to seeing it.
Preliminary reaction is positive, especially on White and Blue models.

The angular casework is pretty darn cool. The Pt micro-rotor is pretty darn cool. The straps look pretty darn cool. I wish the diameter was less than 45mm, but the thickness isn't bad at 13mm (approximate). Definitely a watch to be seen in the flesh. Than...
Thanks, I really like the case!

Case really looks great, but I’m not so sure about the 16:9 TV screen in the middle of the dial, it seems to hinder the view on the movement for no functional reason
This is my main issue with the "dial" as well.

That rectangle bothers me. On other tourbillons in the Executive collection, it disappears and or blends in with the X shape. I fear the brand missed on this detail. This is such a radical design, who cares if it has the rectangle common to the collection...
