While on vacation...

I came across this Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer at a museum and was shocked. I'd never seen one and assume they're fairly rare, though I wouldn't know. The museum didn't have any detailed information about it in particular, but they did explain what i

I've always liked UN's Marine dial design...

and remember the excitement when they first came out with the ltd. ed. anniversary Marine Chronometer in yg, back in '93 or so. (I also remember that my initial excitement was dampened, though, when I called UN about it directly and found out that it was

Happy Birthday......as a lover of UN, especially the earlier versions...

the X style probably got it's DNA from the Executive Dual Time from circa 2012. It was a love it or hate it model, but I'm a fan. It seems most of the UN models of today take their cues from the ones of the earlier 2000 up through the 2000 teens, which we

The original inspiration…

The UN Marine Chronometer model line enjoyed numerous iterations. I quite like some of the first pieces. All I believe were inspired by the original Ships Chronometers from the mid-20th Century. I found one of these at a dealer in California 25 years ago.

Can't really remember when I got serious about the Trilogy, but I know that I coveted the Tellurium for a good 20 years. Never thought I'd find one given the original LE of 96 was sold out long ago. I first saw the Freak in Tim Jackson's SF Bay store Jack

Maybe because I was a publishing guy I like my dials to have clean fonts

I’m not a Roman numeral fan on watches although I do have some, like this Seiko Presage. For 20 years this Roman Numeral clock has been “ticking” away in my house, so I have my fill of this numeral system (and had to teach it in math books “the C is 100,

I adore that watch Tim!

Thanks for posting it and mentioning the fact that UN supplied Marine Chronometers to the US Navy. I just happen to have one from WW2 that I thought I would share as my first post on WPS. Here's a few photos to start. I am certain that many visitors to Wa

I know it’s an oldie, but it is so classic UN. The Marine Chronometer 1846 150th Anniversary edition.

Replicating the old ships marine chronometers that UN was known for. Many of the U.S. Navy Ships prior to WW2 had them as standard kit. Of course each ship would be fitted with 3 of them, in order to have a second one as a backup and the third in service.
