Ulysse Nardin - I was much more reserved, when I saw the first press release pics.

I was much more reserved, when I saw the first press release pics.

Till... I saw it in the flesh. As it is often the case. And immediately, I knew I had to get it.

As for Basel and U.N, I am very curious this year, with UN being part of the Kering group.

A good Basel Fair would be an excellent answer to those who doubted.

Best,

A wrist shot of the Ulysse Nardin 160 Anniversary. Just because...

It is now 8 years that I own it! And just because I remember, in 2006, the strong feelings I had on this one. In a few days, I am expecting more surprises from Ulysse Nardin, at the Basel Fair. I imagine I am not the only one to refresh this forum to see ...

That is amazing watch

Very neglected and underated The eight wonder ;) Your D

Yes, a cool one. It took me some time to understand and appreciate it. [nt]

Wonderful blue...

...together with a nice overall dial layout. Remember the movement as the real news it was for Ulysse Nardin. Maybe a technological milestone, yet simple complication and a true high quality product. Next to the movement finish, I especially liked the are...

I will post a review on this one later, in May. As for the UN news...

I have no damn idea... Very excited, though... Best, Nicolas

This is different, in a good way, like the step lugs...maybe PP 175 stole its lines? [nt]

Well, UN gave some serious inspiration to the others...

One example? The silicon escapement... Since 2001. Some came after... ;) Best, Niclas

Nicolas, I hope UN shows something to excite me as this one always has!

I still remember the feelings when I learned of it. A real "novelty" to this day.

Same for me

Pictures couldn't excite me a lot. At a first sight, just the big date at 1 o'clock caught my attention. Yet, once you hold it in hands, the finish and detail is just impressing. Similar to the watches weight and touch, the big box with book and hygromete...

Absolutely. The only con is the weight... Quite heavy, I must say.

But weight apart, what a Watch! And when you think that the Cal 160 was used in this Watch only, it is a big cherry on the cake. Best, Nicolas
