I really prefer the likes of the fist one and wish they would make more reference with this type of DNA as opposed to be all over the place (IMO of course)

Contest: Which is the Ulysse Nardin watch which made you pay some consideration to the brand?

 
 By: amanico : May 4th, 2021-09:15
For me, there are three watches: The Perpetual Calendar: The Tellrurim: And the Freak: We were in the late 90's, early 2000's. Ulysse Nardin was an horological UFO at that time. Indeed, they made watches like no one else. Since then, I felt a big love for...  

Tellurium for me

This pretty much started my horological trip in the 90s

I think it was this one ...

Freak, 160, Sonata

 
 By: MichaelC : May 4th, 2021-12:20
I own a Freak, had the 160 many years. Never owned a Sonata, but lusted for a Silicium. What a piece.

Is that the Mo LE 1/1?

Been a while since we have seen it!

Don't get me wrong, Sonata is very nice, but my grail would be able to:

Set two separate alarms, so I could leave one always on (e.g., 9:00 every day) and also sometimes set a second alarm as needed (just today, I also need a 12:00 alarm). With only one alarm, you have to change your intermittent alarm back to the daily alarm... 

Lucky you! :)

For me, the San Marcos with the blue enamel dials and the Trilogy, both from the 90s.

Beyond reach for a student... But after that, the Maxi Marine Divers, the Freaks, the Perpetuals (as you've pictured), and the Sonata. UN has such a rich diversity of watches. Interesting question that generated a lot of good remembrances. Cheers, John

Freak was the genesis of the brand for me.

This led to discovering the perpetual Ludwig, Marine Chronometer and Tellurium.

Good choice!

Nicely put.

Trilogy. No Freaks...

 
 By: Ronald Held : May 4th, 2021-17:47
At that time. Although the PCs of ~2000, I did notice.

Since i found WPS, start collecting automatic watches Ulysse Nardin pops up. Before i do not heard about the brand. You know Ulysse Nardin, when i was just entering the watch world when the internet came and i found chrono24. In that time prices for luxur... 

Fun Topic which I would like to read from many other brands

I know which was the watch for me... the San Marco GMT. It was this watch (though I remember it having baguettes) primarily because it was the first Ulysse I ever saw in the metal. It had a great complication, and for me back in the early 2000s when I had...  

In the late 90s and early 2000s UN was my favorite brand. First one for me was a white dialed annual calemdar chronograph, then I got a blue San Marco Dual Time, then a Blue Max followed

by a Marine Perpetual Ltd. Then like a dummy I started letting go of them. Sold the annual-chromo, then the San Marco Dual Time, then the Blue Max. Later at a watch party put on by an AD I bought a Hammerhead to replace the Blue Max and my wife bought a b...
