How to operate Tellurium?
This is indeed an amazing set! I was tracing them for years and recently be able to acquire an older version of Tellurium. However, without the user manual, it is very hard to figure out how to operate/adjust the watch......... May I ask you help?
1. what function the pusher at 9 o'clock can operate and how to operate?
2. how to adjust 24-hour circle?
3. How to adjust the snake head/tail?
Thank you for your help!

Ulysse Nardin Astronomical Watches set.
I can't resist to the pleasure to share this picture coming from Ulysse Nardin and featuring the " Astronomical Set ". A picture I saved not a long time ago, which makes me dream each time I see it. A picture which drove me to work on a topic I will post ...
You may say I'm dreamer...
but I'm not the only one I hope some day this watches will join us ;) What to say...long lasting dream That's all Something that could end madness of craving for new pieces :) Yours D
Yes Nico, these astronomical watches bring me...
happiness just by looking at them, especially the one with the ENAMEL dial of course !! The complications are too complicated for me to understand and even if I understand, too complicated for me to continue understanding how they work !! Cheers, Gordon
Do we really care about understanding these complications?
The show, offered by each of these 3, is so fascinating that we don't really care, don't you think? Thanks for your feedback, Gordon! Nicolas
Nope, don't care about understanding them ... just want one! ;)
May be UN will surprise us with another innovative astronomical watch soon ... they know how to do these pieces very well.
Admired a few UN pieces at my AD today ...
got me really excited about what might be around the corner ... big appreciation for the UN brand. Beautiful timepieces.
UN was really ahead if its time here....
These days there are far more offerings that are at least somewhat similar to these watches, but when these were launched, my understanding is that there was nothing like it in the marketplace. Truly revolutionary. I would love to wear any of them. Darren...
Yes, when they were launched, they were almost unique.
I don't remember any competitor in the wristwatch category... Best, Nicolas
When I First started collecting one of those was on my list. even though...
It will not occur I still wish I could own one.
For many ( most ) of us, this will remain a dream, but..
A very nice one! Keep on dreaming, as most of us! Best, Ronald. Nicolas
For me..
These are the top 3 most beautiful and unique models according to me.I Keep a catalog dated 2000 .In it these 3 models,and I always imagine that either one I wear in my you my friend for wonderful you good health and the very best in life. WTA
Thanks Nico. The hunger grows. The true definition of the grail.
I have admired the set for so very long. I have tried to understand the working behind each of them and have failed miserably. More and more I appreciate the brilliance of Ludwig to conceive of these masterpieces and the understanding of their place in hi...
I was waiting for your feedback, Mitch. ;)
I know your love and admiration for these ones. I can tell you that if I could get only one of these three, I would be very happy. The whole set being an impossible but delicious dream. As to understand these watches, their functions, no worries... Like a...
That is true but it is a challenge to understand what these beauties are showing. I have
to admit that I still have yet to fully understand the Moonstruck but, like the Trilogy, it is a watch to behold and to admire. The Trilogy truly speaks for the beauty of watches. No Apple watch or other functional or computer driven or other techy watch ...
those are the non plus ultra
for me .... I could recently play with an Astrolabe (original YG version) and it is truly an impressive piece. One can always dream! Best Andreas
Non or nec? ;) Yes, impressive pieces. I was tempted more than once, to say all...
By some " for sale " on the used market... But as a no colored gold guy, the hunt is tougher... Best, Nicolas
until someone finds the pillars of Hercules
I guess we won't know what the exact spelling was! Best Andreas ...
Three years with the Trilogy
Thanks for posting these monumental pieces! I was fortunate enough to find an unworn set offered at auction about four years ago. I have yet to wear any of timepieces and I won't until I can confidently review each dial and have a thorough understanding o...
Bjacknot, thanks a lot for your owner's feedback!
Finding an owner of this set is pretty challenging and rare. You achieved a dream for many of us. Congratulations. Now, I would have worn each of them since 2011! Thanks for confirming that they are pretty tough to masterize, in terms of astronomical comp...
... a trilogy of attempts to load my photos...
this is my third attempt and I hope it works A monthly checkup A six-month review Tellurium up close Astrolabium up close. This dial represents approximately 45 deg. N. latitude. Planetarium up close Planetarium closer still Planetarium's spider zodia...
This is as close as I've ever come to seeing these 3 wonders.
Fantastic photographs. So kind of you to post them!
Thank you for reminding us of these watches
I have had the chance to observe and touch several of these, but in talking with the vendor it became clear he had no idea what things they were displaying OR how to set them. Nor did I. Could this be the definition of fine modern art? Beautiful AND Incom...
...agreed it is art, but it is certainly comprehensible
I would not regard these watches as incomprehensible. They are fantastic mechanical representations of how our solar system functions. This understanding has been developed over the past 300+ years, and then interpreted by Mr. Oechslin when he worked to c...
Wonderful pieces!
Nicely put. Thank you very much for sharing your photos! Kind regards, Kolosstt
Completely unexpectedly, I got to inspect a set yesterday
and what an experience! I recall: - surprising density of the platinum watch in my hand - engrossing mystery of the dials at first glance - absolute beauty of the engraving on the movement and rotor - total shock that my pal located a new set Cazalea
Hope to see these soon, as these are inspirational horological art!!!
This was UN at it's best IMHO, Rolf's legacy is insured with this contribution to the mechanical astronomical watch world. The Trilogy set is it. Cazalea, we need to spend an evening over dinner and vino, and I can explain each of these amazing watches to...
Huge congrats on owning this uber-cool set! Do you know...
how many sets were made? Cheers Gordon
By precious metal...
...there were 100 Trilogy sets made in PT, and 100 in YG and possibly 100 in RG. Have a look at the case back in my photos posted above. I am not certain why you thought each precious metal was for 99 sets. Also individual watches were manufactured in the...
You are correct...there were only 99 Trilogy sets in PT
I received confirmation from UN today that there were 99 Trilogy sets in PT. Although the case backs are stamped XX/100, there were 99 sets made. This seems strange to me, but I have seen other Trilogy sets (#23 and #56) with the same XX/100 on their case...
Correct my Correction: 100 Trilogy Sets is Correct
There are 100 Trilogy LE sets. If you purchased the Tellurium separately then the PT LE of this timepiece was produced in 99 and this may hold true for the Astrolabium and the Planetarium when they were sold separately.
Possibly Incorrect...
Argh! The Ulysse-Nardin website describes the Trilogy LE in PT produced in 99 sets on one page of the site and in 100 sets on another!

Tellurium Manual
Thanks to Windows 10, I was unable to use the CD furnished with my Trilogy Set to make a copy of the instructions. Fortunately, I made a hardcopy for myself years ago. The scanned 8.5"x11" format is better than the smaller instruction manual IMHO. PM me a...
Bjacknot, Thank you so much for your help!!!
if you can email the pdf file to vic93marshall @ yahoo. com. tw (remove all spaces), that will be extremely helpful. I only got the watch for few days and am eager to set it correctly........
Trilogy of Time book?
Didn't you receive the hardcover book on the Trilogy with your set? It includes the setting instructions, as well a more thorough explanation of the not, it should be available directly from UN still, I think. Marcus
