Great overview as usual...

We have here a good range of what is new from UN's collection and it's always nice to discover it a little deeper.

I'll be curious to see what the 2 first watches look like in the flesh, let's wait Belles Montres for this

However, concerning the Sonata and the Marine Chrono I must say I'm a bit disappointed....

The Sonata went from a very original and well designed watch to a today's big fad box. I don't like it, at all.

As for the Marine Chrono, I have a clear preference for the more classic one i.e. the limited edition with the UN118+enamel dial (or even the 1846 normal one).

I hope they won't move too far from what they were, toward what we see today. There is a difference between modernizing one's style and copying ineptly the fad.

Thanks for the report Fx

Cheers,

Mark

Salon QP 2012: Ulysse Nardin

By: foversta : November 16th, 2012-15:54

Ulysse Nardin was one of the main exhibitors at the Salon QP 2012 what made me very happy. Actually, I had the wish to browse again the current collection after my meeting during the Basel Fair. I have to confess that Ulysse Nardin is a brand which attrac...

Agreed in the 118. A tad smaller case, no roman number and no date,

And I will be very tempted. As for the Sonata, I still have to see it in the flesh, and if I can, I will go to Belles Montres to try to see it there. As you know, I am in love with U.N since 13 or 4 years, now, and I follow them each year. I don't really ...

Thanks for your detailed comments Nicolas.

And just an advice for Belles Montres: Don't forget the battery! Fx

You are right, Belles Montres will give you an opportunity to browse the whole collection! See you there! Fx

UN has an expansive collection of style

By: bjacknot : November 17th, 2012-08:03

Although not all of the designs are to my liking, I cannot resist certain pieces. The company's collection of style is seconded only by its even more expansive and unique complications. IMHO it is the unique complications that keep UN timepieces on my sho...

Your comment is right...

Sometimes I find the design of several watches a bit too daring BUT... at least this daring attitude brings something different. And when they find the perfect chemistry, the outcome is really attractive. Fx

great report FX

Excellent, I love reading about UN

The blue dial Classico 40mm has caught my eye before, as well. Sadly, I was and remain disappointed with the new Caliber 118 powered chronometer from an aesthetic standpoint. I think I was so blown away when the Caliber 160 and related Anniversary watch w...
