No discussion on this one? Ulysse Nardin Classico Paul David Nardin
This particular UN caught my eye. Simple, but appears to be a very well finished dial that is slightly convex (think Junghans Max Bill). Applied numerals are cleanly polished with some bevels, and the pencil hands appear finely done with even their centre hubs bevelled and polished. Shame about the date window though...and no clear caseback for movement. Case appears to be relatively thin, but thick bezel and domed sapphire?
Anyone have other pictures of this one? I find it quite...intriguing.
Maybe its just the pencil hands. I really love watches with simple pencil hands (no lume) done right like this, but I find them hard to come by...

and look at that lovely screwed on number plate
Bauhus is not the type of design that I prefer but like the Max Bill there are some exemptions. What diameter is it?
39mm I believe
However, I do not know how thick it is. I really wish it has a display back... Would be incredibly desirable to my eyes Regards, skyeriding ...
Could have been a simple, clean and efficient design...
...but that odd date window in the middle of the small second would be a no go for me if I would have considered this option. My 2 cents... Mike
Not discussed yet, I wanted to launch something in March / April. But since you posted the picture...
I saw it in the flesh, at the SIHH. I could not take pictures, but I will soon solve that issue. The big problem for me is the date. Remove the date and I am in. Best, Nicolas
So, I believe the consensus here is it'd be great without the date
Its a shame really - one of many watches that'd be so much nicer without the (unnecessary) date, especially for something that appears to be vintage-y. At least, they gave it a circular date window instead of rectangular... I'd love to hear if there are o...
I look forward...
to seeing this in person, notwithstanding the date. It is uncommon to find a good new watch that can be dressed up or down. This might be it. Curious to hear Nicolas' observations from SIHH and his personal contact with it... Even if it looks great in per...
Greater appeal without the date and cutoff 6. I could still buy it if the price were right. Could UN..
Put in a display back for extra money??
The price is attractive.But this damn date... I don't think a see through case back is available...
nor that it is interesting... Best, nicolas
Love this one
I would go for a steel stud at 6 and kill the date window, but regardless of the UN design choices I could definitely live with this one. Great throwback style and very wearable. Let's hope word reaches UN but I also appreciate they need to consider a bro...
No date AND a center-mount sweep seconds hand . . .
. . . would be perfect. I love the numerals (except the half "6") and the hands. M4
April update: I called my local UN dealer inquiring about this watch...
He in turn called his UN sales rep and was told: The UN classico Paul David Nardin is not a limited edition per se, but UN is restricting the number of these being made, and does not say/know how long they will continue to be made. My local dealer told me...
Thank for the info remarque
This to me could have been an excellent three hander as I love everything about it but the date unfortunately. The case side profile with screwed on plate, the beautiful pencil hands, beautifully polished arabic numerals... Regards, Skyeriding
