Oh dear...
I can explain. It was 'Bring your children to work' day and someone's kids got loose with the crayons.
Unfortunately, with UN's work, I get that feeling all too often. Lately I have not felt there is a sense of maturity in the design language.
Or maybe it's just not my taste?

Ulysse Nardin 2015: Blue Ocean or Black Sea?
Two novelties in the Marine Chronometer line, the Blue Ocean and the Black Sea. They both share the same case, steel rubber coated 45, 8 mm, strap ( rubber ) and dial + blue indexes. The color of the dial and case is not the same. Blue for the Blue Ocean,...

Rubber coated?
Any guesses/experiences: will it last? An interesting blue even though I have my other UN favourite. Regards, Kolosstt

I still wonder about manufacturing details. For me, it is nothing more than a coating. But not as hard as DLC at all, so that is where my question about reliability originates from. Do you have any details/link for me? Best Kolosstt
Ughh...
I dislike both. Whilst these are "creative" I wish they would focus more on pieces similar to those that emerged under Rolf and Ludwig. Dave

I can't wait to see what will come in 2016, to tell the truth. This year has been a consolidation year, UN belongs to a group, now, the same as GP. It takes a bit of time, I guess. Though, there are still some crazy pieces, at U.N, Crazy, or original or b...
I have to agree that neither is to my taste but then again taste is a personal matter.
Of the two the black sea is more striking but i am not a fan of black watches. I do want to be able to read the time. I am hoping that Nicolas is right and the upcoming year will be back to the usual with unusual pieces with Ludwig back in the fold. That ...
Yes, the new Tourbillon in house is great as well as the concept of the musical box on the
Wrist. But true UN fans are always waiting for the magic, the exceptional creativity of the brand. They put the bar very high, and we are always expecting higher, from them. Which is the tue challenge of Ulysse Nardin. Best, Mitch. Nicolas
Absolutely agree. I do think that the anchor escapement is a version
of that magic. It is revolutionary as it minimizes the effects of friction on the pallet fork. Not sure who's creativity this represents from the company but it has been multi years in development. Anxiously awaiting the next innovation from them. Mtich
