Ulysse Nardin Minute Repeater Tourbillon Hannibal ( 2015 ).
For the pleasure of the eyes:
Jacquemars on granite from the alps.
A magnificent dial, executed with great care.
The kind of Ulysse Nardin which drives me crazy.
Best,
Nicolas
Hi Nicolas , Thanks for the photo. This piece is a wow wow wow !!
The tourbillon is also great.
For me, the UN enamel jungle or safari is the ultimate grail for me.

To my mind there is nothing comparable. The movement pieces by UN are absolutely brilliant. [nt]

Regarding the automatons, they are surpassed by Jaquet Droz only ...
However, this combination with a classic tourbillon and a minute repeater is really unique. Although, I have to admit to prefer the previous Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great versions, despite the higher importance of the "Hannibal" for my region's history. But I think the figures were more detailed and the automaton movement more interesting.

We'll try to make a post with comparative pictures. Thanks, Magnus. [nt]

I do enjoy the artistry of the Jaquet Droz but think the UNs are more wearable. Really like the red colored highlights of the Alexander. [nt]

Definitely the UN automatons have a more practical design ...
... however, the birds spreading their feathers, or climbing from an egg is a special sight to behold. Regarding the engraving execution of the UN repeaters, the "Circus" is still my favourite, but I would be proud to wear the "simple" and classic San Marco with the chime on passant and the "wild man" on the dial.

There are so many Ulysse Nardin to share and admire in the high end segment. We'll see that from time to time. [nt]

Boutiques, for sure. AD, maybe. I saw a Genghis Kan, once, in Italy! [nt]

Agreed. Seeing this work on the dial is breathtaking.
I’m also crazy about the “Jungle” enamel dial. UN make some amazing work in this category.
Absolutely love this piece from UN...
I hope we continue to see some high haute horology pieces in the high end segment from this awesome brand as I feel the focus seems
on the freak only and more entry level pieces. Fingers crossed for high end innovative dreams from UN!
No, there are fans of their Astronomical watches, too, as well as the Sonata, the PC GMT, their enamels... Well, Many reasons to pay interest to the brand. [nt]

You said it..
I am a fan of their Astronomical, Sonata and without a doubt their enamel magic... but I get the feeling these are not so much the focus as is The Freak! I did prefer the original Freaks to the newer versions. They were harder to get and more of a dream!
Agreed on the original Freak. But I disagree on the lack of focus on the Sonata, PC and Astronomical watches... They are pure magic, for the connoisseurs. [nt]

I agree, but not so much recently I mean...
If there is a astronomical wonder coming in January then I will be over the moon... literally
