A dial with a complex dimension is always a risk, my friend.
It is not everybody's taste, and like a piece of Art, it can talk to you, or ... Not.
I must admit that it talks very loud to me, in this case.
Best, and thanks, Bill.

Life is good, with the Sonata.
Here are some wristshots of my favourite travel watch. No need to travel into different time zones to enjoy it, the Sonata being, ALSO, an Alarm Watch. Waking up in a middle age minster with its delicate alarm sound is just delicious. Visiting an old cas...
Very classy
Great watch with such a complex dimension. White gold or platinum. Any weight consideration. A+ mon ami. Bill

Thanks for the new writshots.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I prefer your version to the latest I saw at Basel. I find it more elegant and surprisingly enough, more original. Fx
The first is often the best. Still, I have to see the Ti / Black version.
I am intrigued by this one. Not that I would change mine for it, certainly not, but I want to see it in the flesh. Best, Nicolas
Looks great
I have yet to see one in the flesh, but you're driving me towards pursuing that...always dangerous. A real beauty for sure! Richard
You HAVE to see it in the flesh, before deciding anything.
This is not an everone's taste watch. It is so particular, so special. But to try it is to adopt it... Keep us updated, my dear Richard. Best, Nicolas
Certainly it looks that way
Excellent, Nicolas. You know, all the years I have lusted a Sonata, I have been drawn to the darker dials, both the grey and the blue. But I think your silver is the most wearable, and certainly accentuates the beautiful blued elements. If I were to ever ...
Which one to choose is certainly a delicious dilemma to have.
I hesitated a lot with the blue dial. After all, Blue is a natural color for U.N. But this very one came first, one of the first to be delivered in France, by the way, and it was an instant love. So, I bought it... And I don't regret it. And you know what...
Thanks for these very nice WS, as always...
...and I would really see it sitting very well on my wrist. Cheers, Mark
Great Shot !
Certainly one of the best looking dials I ve ever seen .. Never paid much attention to this one until seeing that first picture of yours. Fantastic Shot !
ah... the Sonata...
Beautifully sharp pictures Nicolas and you know I love this watch. I am not sure the alarm could wake me up in the morning though, especially after a couple of glasses (probably bottles) of vino and a delicious french meal. Enjoy! Andrew
You will end with one, Andrew. I know it from the tone of your voice. :)
Is it conceived to wake people up? I don't think so. But to alarm them in an elegant and poetic way, yes! To wake you up, you have your cell phone, your Radio Alarm, or ... Your wife! :) Best, Nicolas
Hahaha...
i do want one and have spoken to UN... But they want to orangify the new version and my preference is this one as far more classic looking and those curves... :-( Will keep working on it...
Amazing shots of an amazing watch!
Thank you for sharing your great wrist shots! I keep my Sonata on a winder and it is not my wake-up alarm unless I m travelling. However, each morning when I walk past my winder, that beautiful dial always wakes me up as the light bounces and shimmers off...
Too many watches and too little time.
I rarely wear one watch all week long, and there isn't a week in which I don't wear at least four watches. I keep the Sonata on the winder because it stays in the rotation. Nonetheless, I totally agree with your response. BTW, I still haven't worn these y...
You didn't wear them, yet? Send them to me, I will take care of them.
:) :) :) Can I ask you a favor, by the way? Can you take pics of each of your 3 Astronomicla marvels, and make a separate post for each of them, please? I love them so much, and I know I am not alone, here. Best, Nicolas
I will post on each Trilogy watch over next few months
Stay tuned Nicolas, and I will post on each of these watches. Unfortunately, I had to send two watches back to the spa because some requests I had made about changing the dials had not been interpreted properly. I want the dial for the Astrolabium to refl...
The learning curve has just begun
I got a macro lens for Christmas, so that I can shoot close-ups. My Planetarium is my first subject and 2013 is the year!
Great shot Nicolas
I don't know where you get the time to take so many brilliant shots of so many brilliant watches but please keep them Sonata is most definitely particular and specific, but that just emphasizes the individuality (and confidence) of the owner.
I hava a huge stock of pictures I didn't publish, yet.
All is in the management of the stock, and in the present moment. In this case, the picture was taken during a week end. Two watches with me, and a camera... ;) As for the Sonata, it just is one of my favourite modern watch. Originality, character, poetry...
