Three astronomical watches from Ulysse Nardin whose pictures haunt me. Astrolabium, Tellurium and Planetarium.

We'll agree on one point: Official pictures are rarely exciting, most often uninspired. But sometimes, there are some strong exceptions. Like here. Astrolabium Galileo Galilei: Planetarium Copernicus: And Tellurium Johannes Kepler: Without forgetting the ...

I hadn't seen the Astrolabium or the Tellurium before Nico - Thanks for the pictures - spellbinding watches ! Best Will [nt]

Spellbinding is the right word to describe them. [nt]

Beautiful pieces.

I totally share your enthusiasm. If I had the funds, I would go for one of them. A dream for me. [nt]

Pure art 😅👍🏻 [nt]

Yes! We really can say so. Or maybe pure magic? Or both? [nt]

GENIAL this three watches. I never understand what they can do, but they are really beautiful. Thanks for showing this great pics. [nt]

You can try to understand how they work, but you can also fall for their charm and magic. ;) [nt]

I prefer the second choice! ;-)) [nt]

Lazy you! ;) [nt]

Yes i am, good morning! [nt]

:))) [nt]

I can’t even spell their names, little own understand how they work!

He he... The charm of these pieces is just incredible. [nt]

Those are bewitching photographs, Nicolas.

Oh, and I see you are over 183,000 posts.

3 hours ago. :))) [nt]

Courts are closed today?;-) [nt]

Only meetings at my office. ;) [nt]

I would have been very proud to be the author of these pictures, but I am not the one... I agree with you on the greatness of these watches, my dear friend. [nt]

I agree that these are amazing timepieces which not only tell the time but venture into the cosmos. Particularly fascinating and the genius behind them is hard to believe. [nt]

" Which venture in the cosmos ". I couldn't say it better! Thanks, Ed. [nt]

Humbly I must say that in the metal and on the wrist these timepieces are an incredible combination of art and science. Conceived by a master and executed by a company in its heyday.

In the metal it must be even better. I never had the opportunity to see them in the real world! You are right, it is a piece of genius. [nt]

Really should try to see all of them in the metal. (nt)

Same for me. It would already be a dream. [nt]

Where could you do that? (nt)

Tough... At the manufacture or an Ulysse Nardin Boutique? [nt]

Maybe at the manufacture, in the small museum under the roof ...

UN still will make them if you order one? (nt)

To the best of my understanding the run is done. As of a year or two ago there was one set available but I think that may have been spoken for. Don’t know if there will be another run or if they will make a set on consignment. [nt]

Be curious to know if they would make one of the watches by request. (nt)

Can’t be arrested for asking. One or the set? [nt]

If I had the funds, just one. (nt)

Ah. Which one? [nt]

Hard choice but Planetarium. (nt)

Truly is a hard choice as each is a masterpiece. [nt]

Very much do! (nt)

Thanks Nicolas for this post ! IMO getting this set is more fun and better value for money than being sent up to the space station because...
