All in the family...
Which one of these would be the 'black sheep' amongst the group?
I like them all for different reasons.
+ The Monopusher is so elegant. I would prefer it in white gold though. This piece reminds me of the stuff UN used to make -- I have been disappointed for a few years in the base line.
+ The Columbus set is quite cool. Not many sets (100) and while they are quite similar to the base models individually, the display back and engraved rotors make them stand out a bit
+ The original Freak. What can I say. I have one of the first and it remains quite a special watch. At 42mm it is wearable as well.
+ The platinum Gigante. Not so big at 40mm to match it's name, but at the time of release it was slightly oversized vs. other San Marco pieces. The guilloche on the anthracite dial is awesome.
+ The Blue Max. The first blue I think from UN and certainly started a trend. The blue rotor is again quite neat.
+ The Hour Striker. With a 42mm RG case and a lapis Lazuli dial this one isn't for the timid. Doesn't get worn much.
+ The Berlin 1 and Berlin 2 split second pieces. Somewhat obscure references and quite different dials.

Lovely collection of some older UN’s 👍
Standout pieces for me are the monopusher and the Freak! Loved my Berlin 1 but this has now gone to a new home, as have a few others that weren’t getting wrist time. My Freak and Marine Chronometer are two of my absolute favourites in my watch collection....
Nice collection
It’s a nice vertical collection of some earlier models. If I had to select one, the monopusher would be my favorite even though it’s more mainstream
I would agree. I have tried to find this variant from time to time...
But only have seen it in photos. ...
