I fear you have to wait ....
Ulysse Nardin is traditionally very tight-lipped about their Basel releases. Normally, they only present one or two novelties earlier, like the "El Toro" this year, but the major releases are kept secret until the very last day. Even most of the UN staff is not aware of all new watches until the fair.
I will be in Basel from Saturday, March 20. Even if I cannot guarantee that I will be the first showing all new pieces, I can guarantee that I will inform you in depth!
Best regards,
Marcus
Darn! I missed it!!! ....
Dear friends, I moved to a new home, which is the reason for my silence in the past weeks. I am still not through all the boxes cluttering the rooms, still trying to mount all the lamps, faucets, showers, cables, to get used to that silly digital control ...
Too stupid, but at least, you have a good reason, Marcus.
Hope all is better for you, and that you're happy with your new home... And as for playing with your UN PC, you know better than everyone else here that you can set it backwards and allow you a new session without having to wait for the next year! Very Be...
I know I can set it backwards .... intellectually, that is ...
... but my stomach is not so sure if I should do it. While I am of course fully convinced of the construction's ruggedness, I have - horologically - grown up with the stories about the delicacy of perpetual calendars in general, and I am thus hesitating i...
I think I would wait ...
As you say, you could 'force' the change again and it would be interesting on an intellectual level, but on an emotional level I think you should wait. It will certainly make Monday February 28, 2011 something to look forward to, with a leap year in 2012....
Basel

Basel 20+ ?
Looking forward to your reports, you wrote "from the 20th", are you staying a few days? I'll be there on the 22nd and will check out the UN booth this year!
I did it!
I was away on the 28th si when I got back I set it to the 28th and watched it "do is thing" starting at 9pm ;-) As a side note setting back on March 1st will show 31, 30, 29 over 24 hours, the three days don't switch back between 12am and 9pm.
Thanks for that information! ....
... I will do the "switch" as well, as soon as the house does not look like a construction site ... Regards, Marcus
very concerned
Marcus, How is the dog holding up amidst all this turmoil?? Regards, Jeff
Thanks for asking, jeff ...
both have been pretty nervous, as you can imagine. This was not astonishing, there were strange people all around, coming and going, no room remained a safe harbour for them, and their beds, better: blankets had to be moved to another place practically ev...
QP alert - month change ;-)
It's 10.55pm here and the day has changed halfway already :...
LOL, Webvan!
All is in order, from what I see... So, you begin to have some sleepless nights spending your time to admire the magic of the perpetual calendar ballet? Best! Nicolas
Keeping a close eye this time!
Well much to my shame I must admit I have never witnessed a "non-simulated" month change since I got the QP in February, won't happen tonight. If memory serves all will be done at 00h05 so that can't count for a sleepless night ;-)
