Ulysse Nardin Sonata and Freak.
A two pice summary of Ulysse Nardin's Genius. Something we'd like to see back in the current collection. This brand has such a potential! Best, Nicolas ...
Absolutely agree regarding the potential. Freak fully deserves being more more popular than it is.
In the meantime - Freak line has never been stopped but is developing not the right way, IMHO. The further it goes the less I like what they do... Sonata has been stopped due to unpopular design, I guess. I think it should be brought back to life, althoug...
Freak 1 was not just crazy
It also looks monumental. It is a piece of architecture. I sense something from ancient Egypt there. All models that followed have been gradually loosing it and by now lost it completely.
A fantastic duo.
And a wonderful picture !! Yes,this is the UN that we all love ....and miss.
A killer duo for the technically inclined nerds(purists)!
Now, if someone longs for”different” this two easily take the cake… To be honest, the modern models are not as memorable to me, as this old ones! Nice photo too!
I am very biased…
With respect to the UN time period under Rolf, Ludwig, Pierre and others. I own many but not so much in the past 10 years. ...
Totally agree. How I long for those days gone by.
I hope they will be done with the current push towards fashion and return to their heritage of technical prowess.
Would love to meet with them with several collectors to provide the voice of the consumer.
Would be willing to meet them on their own turf
I too have talked to several members of the brand a number of years back but to no avail.
Would be very willing to join a discussion on just this topic with them as they (theoretically at least) have better control of their product lines and destiny.
