Mo already posted some pictures of a watch he dreamt about, a very special Sonata Cathedral, with its silicium escapement and decoration on the dial. As you know, the Sonata Silicium was made in a limited edition of 500 pieces. Among these 500 pieces, a f...  

These watches are the top of the top UNs in my book. I love both versions, Mo's and yours, Nicolas. Thanks for the usual great write up. M4

Yours is not bad either my friend Sonata is one of top 5 pieces UN made during their rich history Thanks for this delight during Croatian independence day Yours D

Happy Croatian Day, my friends. Best, Nicolas

Throw in anniversary and we are in UN heaven

So many fascinating elements, starting with the playful hands, the unique and wonderfully sounding alarm, the combination of complications... Love yours and Mo\'s is definitely special in another way Some day - or put differently, the Sonata in one shape ... 

Thank you to the comprehensive write up

I had the original Sonata and changed to to the cathedral because there was a definite change in the quality and loudness of the alarm. I wonder if the difference that you noted between your Sonata and the silicium was more a function of the design change... 

With several cathedral and cathedral silicium to be sure, of course. As for the HW, good luck to find one... But it will be interesting to compare both of them on their acoustical virtues. Best, Mitch. Nicolas

longer. There are more parts to sonata (>400 vs 340 ish). Ans the Z6 has 45 jewels while the sonata has about 104. The dial of the sonata is way more legible and makes better sense. So objectively there is no question that the sonata is the superior piece... 

But I would love to hear the HW Z6 sound. Best, Nicolas

and Mo's is so special... if only those hands were... orange! Then it would be perfect. Great pics Nico, they are such photogenic watches. Cheers Andrew

and I believe they must also be extremely pleasing to the ears.

It is my favorite version of the watch thanks to its ultra unique dial. Mesmerizing, and highly appropriate on such a design. Mo's red hands are stunning; I might have a preference for the standard set with the yellow indicator. I believe your model with ... 

I remember how I felt when I saw the first pictures of the Sonata. It was love at first sight. And some months after, when my AD and friend called me... you can guess how excited I was. So, the first version will always be my favorite. Now, if I am a new ... 

On a very interesting UN Thanks for enlighten me Best Hans

You are right,5 sets of hands were produced for 5 watches ,but only 3 were finally delivered. Its a watch that was inspired by your love for this model and great motivation to make a move and take a plunge almost 5 years ago now! When I saw it,it was love...  

I am very happy reading that. And proud to have been responsible for that one, my friend. The Sonata is not for everybody. It is a special watch, born from the madness of some geniuses for some crazy people like us. A typical UN watch. May you enjoy it fo...
