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

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...

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

Tellurium for me

I totally understand. That was pure magic.

I think it was this one ...

These automatons!

Gmt perp like the one in your pic, marine diver (dimple/wave dial), freak, sonata of the early to mid2000s. They need to reboot from there! They just need a refresh and not even by much!

AAah, these early Marine Divers!!! I forgot them, but I loved them!

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)

+1!

Freak. no brand no model can match the Freak

Indeed!

Sonata for me.

Aaah, that one was just fantastic. I followed the birth of this watch with a lot of interest and passion.

Freak, 160, Sonata

Hehe... I totally understand you!

Is that the Mo LE 1/1?

Sonata, because it's rare to see innovation in alarms even though there is still a long way to go to reach the ultimate alarm watch

We are not far from the ultimate alarm watch with the Sonata, don't you think?

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

A one month alarm? But you will never remember for what you have set the alarm when it rings! On the Sonata you can set the alarm to the minute and on 24 hours.

I'm traveling and I know I need to catch a train 10 days from now...

Lucky you! :)

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

I had the feeling we'll be quite a lot to have the same favorites, here, John. Funny to see how the Sonata is becoming a popular!

The Freak . One watch thats still high on my wishlist

I can only concur. I cross my fingers for you, mon ami. Which one, the 1st Generation?

1st gen is my fav my friend. Maybe one day 🙏🏻

I do hope so. It is such an icon!

Freak was the genesis of the brand for me.

The most intriguing watch I know, Russell.

For me, it was definitely the GMT /- Perpetual as I used to travel internationally a couple of weeks a month for work, back in those days.

Good choice!

This one....

Spectacular! This El Toro.

😊

Aaah, the El Toro! The non consensual watch, with a lot of character!

functions over form ;)

Nicely put.

Trilogy. No Freaks...

Aaah, the Trilogy. They put the bar very high and very soon with those watches.

+1!!!!! (nt)

Alas.

Thanks for your feedback, Weems.

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

The San Marco was another very cool watch, and so U.N.The Freak was a real horological thunder.

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

These Marine from the late 90's were very appealing, indeed. Aaah, my friend, I noticed the same thing... ;)
