Classic, understated, with a singular touch of whimsy (the red “II.”) Sublime and gorgeous work!

Congratulations to the Club and to UN for this wonderful piece.

Ulysee Nardin Classico LE for Singapore Watch Club....came across this incredibly wonderful dial !

very limited for the SWC members...Unfortunately, it is a LE of 20 pcs. there are very few Black enamel watches we've & this one practical in 40mm steel case + not bad at all esp. at 10k$ i love the 'red' touch in 12 - i don't know the reason why it is do...  

A watch with black enamel dial is something still Missing in my collection

Definitly Something rare. A dream would be the Combination of yellow Gold Case and black enamel dial at 40mm for me.

i agree...Black enamel is an impeccable dial - kind of must have :-)

with colored metal, it will be even more evocative ! Best, mahesh.,

plus a great value...

one thing i can be picky about - would have been a manually wound movement...but we're never satisfied ;-) Thanks Tony ! Best, mahesh.,

The real beauty of it is no date.

I flirted with the blue enamel dial model, but had seen this online, and wished UN did not punch a date hole through the standard models. I don't recall the reason for the partial red 12, perhaps someone in that club will respond.

i think 'no-date' was the best decision on this dial...

 
 By: mahesh : August 26th, 2019-05:51
we see beautiful dials who chose to add a date window & every thing breaks apart :-( i hope one of our fellow Purist have one of the 20 !

WoW that is a great looking watch, too bad only 20 pieces...

Thanks for sharing Mahesh, didn't know about this one. S

Thank you for the kind words

I’m Tom, I founded the Singapore Watch Club and was also part of the design team that created this timepiece which I cherish dearly. You hit the nail on the head, the whole concept was to shine a new light on a genre of watches that has fallen out of fash...  

Thanks for the informative post Tom.

I've seen this special SWC edition in various media and lusted for it. You and the team did a superb job with this piece. Congratulations! M4

Well done, nice project!

The dial is a masterpiece - no corners were cut here and it shows

Thank you Tom...very informative & i enjoyed learning about the thought process that went behind making this watch happen !

 
 By: mahesh : August 26th, 2019-08:30
in deed the Black enamel is a killer choice & no-date was quite the right direction (in today's watch world most brands find it hard to make this shift). welcome here & look forward for your continuous sharing on our community ! Best, mahesh.,

spot on !! Thanks again Tom...

Thanks, Tom. I've long wondered what a Dubuis Bulletin d'Observatoire . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 27th, 2019-14:23
. . . would've looked like in black enamel. Now, I know. ;-)

A request to UN...

 
 By: vitalsigns : August 26th, 2019-10:48
Offer the same watch, no red highlights, feuille hands, and keep the date absent... There will be buyers...perhaps many... It's a gorgeous piece. Cheers, John

I hope so too John !

 
 By: mahesh : August 26th, 2019-11:33
It will be a success for sure... Best, Mahesh.,

This is perhaps my fav UN!

 
 By: mrds : August 26th, 2019-12:15
Here, everything‘s just right. Love the dial, but also the case style and size, the hands... Thanks, Mahesh, for bringing this beauty to our attention. Best, Daniel

UN did a similar enamel in white too but

 
 By: mahesh : August 26th, 2019-12:55
unfortunately there was a small window for date inside the sub-dial for seconds. Best, Mahesh.,

We never know what is possible in future but

 
 By: mahesh : August 26th, 2019-12:57
whatever is possible will surely be better than the best 😇

Wow, I don't follow Ulysse Nardin too much but this is gorgeous!

Love the black enamel! The only thing I dislike is the 40mm size, but that's just me with my small hands.
