On the plus side, some of the MSRP levels are extremely acceptable.

I would reference both the Marine Tourbillon and Freak titanium models. Beyond fair for what you receive.

Improvement ideas for Ulysse Nardin
By: MichaelC : April 27th, 2021-00:15
We recently had a good conversation regarding the current direction of a brand many of us have dear to the heart. It was rather unanimous that UN has come off the rails these past 10 years +/-. So, what are our ideas for improvement? Many agree the insist...
I have a few suggestions.
By: Horo_Traveler : April 27th, 2021-05:14
1. Agree they should get rid of the recent X/Square motif. 2. Add Arabic numerals as you suggest to the Marine 42mm line. 3. Make an executive decision to chop the Executive collection. Or, at least rename it to something more evocative of your clientele ...
Some excellent suggestions here, couldn't agree more.

UN is one of my favorite brands as well but I don't feel like spending any money on anything from their actual collection either. With that in mind and for a start (more to follow) I'd be careful with roman numerals on anything sportive (divers etc...). I...
Well stated there.

The marketing needs drastic improvement.
I think they have something with the Marine Torpilleur.
By: amanico : April 27th, 2021-05:43
WE can start from there, put an enamel dial, no eaten 6, 42 mm case... Aaah, one thing, they launched a few good watches these last ten years, such as these Marine above, or this Marine Tourbillon below! Best, my friend. ...
Deleting small second or...

Ad some Marine Torpilleur with a big second hand. Their sea sail heritage of the old timing gauges is a separated seconds dial. Can they step off of it?
Old list of mine
By: Weems@8 : May 1st, 2021-21:34
When i made a list a few years ago. It was a list of my first automatic watch diver. Actually i bought in the past a quartz Seiko watch with diving aspirations, but in my view that is no real watch, but a time keeper with to much problems. A long story sh...
Proper suggestions.
By: MichaelC : April 30th, 2021-17:02
And yes, we should not be dismissive and pretend nothing good came out these past 10 years. Definitely a few winners in there!
Not only design
By: Weems@8 : April 27th, 2021-06:47
I see the selling channels are a confusing machine. While competitors make all so easy, giving discount, a good service, quick delivery, UN maybe demands AD’s to keep prices high and scared potential customers off. If they could streamline the selling met...
Always slightly off
By: m2 : April 27th, 2021-12:11
The freak and freakx are awesome IMO but most of their designs are slightly off to me.
Develop your core competencies, and work out from there.
By: DouglasM : April 27th, 2021-16:23
1. More grand feu enamal from Donze Cadrans (I believe that's the name, the dial company they own) 2. continue the Marine Diver in titanium; the new case design, material and no-nonsense look is a winner to my eyes 3. more use of their newest manufacture ...
