Horological Meandering

Keep on delight us!

 

Tchau Nilo!

 

Thank you for keep on sharing with us pictures of beautiful UG timepieces. I'd like to add some personal opinions.

 

The first Chrono you've proposed seems to be the youngest, at least looking at the UG logo. The case seems to be very shiny: I wonder if it was [too?] deeply polished; this could explain the fact you couldn't saw any serial number on it.

 

The second Chrono is simply stunning, both for its aesthetic and for the very clever 2nd-time-zone function! I don't see anything like that among the contemporary offerings. Do you think I'm wrong, if I wish a Manufacture could propose something inspired to this beautiful timepiece?

 

The third Chrono intrigues me especially for its modern-styled case and in particular for its interesting bezel: I find that it is interesting because, instead of being rounded, like many other aged timepieces, it is plain and strongly sloping. I've recently seen a quite similar bezel on a modern watch, but I don't remember which one?

 

The fourth Chrono is emblematic for the best elegance of almost all of the UG watches. The big "XII" looks just peeerfect!

 

Ciao,

 

 

Elio

There as a time that they were in high demand but today you can get one on a reasonable cost. The challenge is to get a good/great one and then there is the issue with parts. This may be the reason that I play safe: admire but not own. Cheers, Nilo

Oh wow............

What an excellent array of chronos :) They all look in cracking condition for their age. And certainly very worthy of being in one's collection. What size are the cases?

Keep on delight us!

Elio, You are right. The fourth chrono is the definition of a UG watch. This week I plan to do a subject change, meaning another Breitling week. The same owner of the UG delivered two boxes FULL of very old Breitling chronographs. They are from the true e... 

Thanks!
