Agree. This could actually just have been a time-only...
... piece without even the seconds subdial.
This piece would not be about the passing of time but of enjoying it 
I also wonder if it would be nicer if the music movement (disc etc) was hidden. And if you want something fancy, that you could put automatons in there to reflect the music title like how it plays out in a Hour Striker.
Having said all that, this is an amazing piece. Marrying a music box and a watch is quite an inspired move.
UN really knows its music
Wearing a watch increses its value. No? The Stranger from UN
I will ALWAYS wish that DEEP in the hearts of people, they are buying and spending hard earned money, they get to enjoy the fruits of their labours. Else, buy shares on some market. But..we live in a time when the man/machine interface is closing each hou...
Wait a minute... This watch / music box will be part of the 2013 collection?
WOW! WOWOWOW!!! It is the first time for several years that I am completely devastated of joy, happiness, and excitement for a UN novelty. Just one reserve, though... Whitout such a simple date, which looks cheap in such a marvellous environment, it would...

Bernard a few more details would be helpful, such as...
What tune is it playing, as well as the watch's specs.
The tune played is Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra
One of my favourite crooners
beautiful
another beautiful watch that you've brought to my attention. i have to say that while wearing a watch increases its value to the individual who wears it, the value to everyone else, i.e., the market goes down precisely because the more it is on your wrist...
I have been waiting...
I have been waiting for UN creativity to return. For a few years I was tired of the next release being just another variant of the same pieces in the Marine line. Don't get me wrong, I like the base pieces, but acquiring the original Freak in 2001, then t...
I like it!
Especially since I am a Sinatra fan. If they made it with the tune to Come Fly With Me or My Way would be the icing on the cake!
Un is so original, it's really astounding sometimes.
Unfortunately, another 'too weird' for me watch. But I really am struck with stupefied admiration.
Hang on! What is this?...
What happened , ? Who am I? I need to know more , and fast! I feel another incredible creation will poison my mind.... Agree with Nico on the date though.... I have a song in mind already if they take customisation...,
Some informations from the press file:
" The melody “Strangers in the Night” can be heard hourly or on call by actuating a pusher. Several different functions can be set by means of the integral pusher crown including winding, advancing or retarding the date and correcting the time. To do so, ...
Very intriguing novelty
And damn good looking, too! I agree, it is nice to see UN give us this sort of original excitement. We have been waiting several years now, IMO. Perhaps we were spoiled when these sorts of amazing creations were coming out a bit more frequently.
2000 - 2005 were really impressive years, indeed.
This year makes me think about this " golden era ". I am very happy, indeed, very happy. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Some more information in addition to Nicholas' post
This innovative timekeeper bears the signature of Ulysse Nardin’s partner and musician, Dieter Meier. It made its world debut in Zurich on March 13, 2013. Manufactured in a limited edition of 99, the masterpiece was introduced and presented to a circle of...
Absolutely amazing!
Another mechanical marvel from UN, and a fresh new idea to the world of watchmaking
I learn something new everyday :-)
....I do prefer this iteration where the drum is on the front and where we can actuall see the drum and blades at work though.
Nice!
But I ave only heard and read of one tune being available to start with? Love the watch but not the tune... Cheers Andrew
very nice watch but...
There were actually at least two "precedents": -Mermod Frères primo 4: plays 4 differents tunes - Bréguet réveil musical: plays one tune
As I wrote in Anthony's presentation,
it is a very interesting interpretation and seems to be very simple for such a complication. An excellent choice in the UN world I think. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bernard. Cheers, Mark
Can't wait to hear it in person...
Can't wait to hear it in person. Thank you for showing us. This was the first I've heard/seen this new timepiece.
