Ulysse Nardin Pre SIHH 2017: Classico Rooster.
Champlevé enamel dial. Rose gold 40 mm case. Limited to 88 pieces. The first enameled offer from next year, by Ulysse Nardin. What do you think? Best, Nicolas...
Is it only for the French market? ;-)
Ok we can let 8 pieces for the Chinese collectors Best wishes Alkiro
Hi Mitch, I am the forum's resident "admirer" of...
artistic dials. Not an expert yet. Hope you find my earlier comments useful as feedback to UN. For the rooster. Cheers, Gordon
I respectfully look to you as the "expert" as you have a good eye and experience. Certainly more thank most. We should have a discussion in the future about UN's ship series.
As far as the rooster\'s coloring I do understand what you mean but I\'m okay with what they\'ve done if for no other reason that it is so much better than the goat. I hope to see it in the metal at some point and then can make a formal judgement. Actuall...
What is your Chinese Zodiac ? Or perhaps an enamel...
Vessel from UN ? Happy to help you on your journey for an artistic dials. Just let me know
Hi Mitch, given that you are a dragon, I am surprised that you passed on the...
enamel dragon back in 2012. Although you like the snake enamel the most, the dragon is also done very nicely !
Yes, Mitch, the hand painted one counts as...
one point and you need 101 points to get the true pleasure from the UN enamel dragon ! Will bring my dragon watch next time (coming up soon) when I go to to South Cal
I just looked at this piece on my computer and not on my phone and I have to say I am
totally entranced. The gradations of the colors of the rooster's feathers and their highlights are simply incredible. I would put on the level of the snake watch and it is not a snake so I could see myself wearing this one.
I like it a lot!
But then again I like the rooster as an animal generally Very well executed and the rest (i.e. Case, hands...) nicely supports the dial rather than overpowering it in any way
Exceptional dial work...
I'd love to see actual photos of the finished piece. This appears to be a CG image.
Thanks Nicolas for making this post which I have been eagerly waiting for ! My first impression is that UN has NOT...
disappointed me on the rooster. The motif is good (with rooster looking to pick a fight) and enamel work is great as usual. The claws are nicely done, just like the ones for the dragon. However, more colors should have been used to make the dial more vibr...

Yes Nicolas, I put many "if's" because of ...
austerity measures for budgeting purposes. All the business units (i.e. Different watches) are fighting for limited resources! LOL !
Great watch.
I particularly like the detailing on the flowers in the background. I find on these types of dials, the main feature is done well but less attention is paid to the small incidentals. Not this time. The coloration, different size for scale, src - all super...
