While being a fan of cloisonné enamel ...
... I prefer the recent versions with the finely hand-painted "dials", since the Earth features stand out so much clearer and finer than on the enamel disks.
When I started my preoccupation with UN's astronomical timepieces, I immediately considered the Tellurium the most practial of the Trilogy, and wanted to wear that one. Only later, after many discussions with Ludwig Oechslin and Rold Schnyder, I came to the conclusion that the the Planetarium is the more historical and philosophical timepiece.

A picture of a dream watch: Ulysse Nardin Tellurium J. Kepler.
What is more fascinating than a Watch which escapes a bit from you, techincally speaking? I would be interested to know how many of the Tellurium owners get all the possibilities of their watches, all their functions / informations. But I guess that they ...
Nice picture Nicolas. I would not get it for its.......
Astronomical Information but more for its fascinating "aura". It is more like a painting or a book, one looks at a painting and depending on one's mood or the lighting, one sees something very differently each time, or a book one could open at any page on...
" The continuous changing of the perceived secret ".
My friend, bravo. This is superbly put. I am with you on the fascintanig aura of this piece. But I couldn't put it beter than you did! Best, Nicolas
Oh! Je rougis:) Well, the watch is itself poetry...
is it not? Cheers mon ami. Francois
Not my favorite of the Trilogy, but clearly desirable. i would have..
it for the astronomical data and craftmanship in its appearance and design.
Probably not a watch for casual appreciation...
Even if one is not "technical", I think that one must at least have some sort of burning curiosity to understand pieces like this one. Aesthetics-wise, not my cup of tea but then that is me being casual in my appreciation :-) Good question, Nico.
I like the watch so much I own two of them!
I really enjoy how it provides a graphical perspective on the World. I often gaze at it to see where the sun is rising or setting. The thin gold wire over the planocentric view of the Earth bends up and down with the seasons to replicate the relative incl...
You have two of them? You mean two Tellurium, or two different astronomical UN?
You will have to show me that, next time! Best, Tyler. Nico
I think it is the same series
but I am not sure how to tell the difference. The one on the left is SN 22 & the right is 23. I think SN 23 must be from the future. When I got it, the year was set to 2049......... ...
If you ever get tired of owning one of these 2... ;)
You killed me! WOW! Best, Nicolas
Speechless!
Two of them - great! You could wear one set to the summer half year on one wrist, the winter half year on the other ... :) Marcus
That is another legendary Ulysse Nardin
I need to spend more time to understand its functions. But it sure is beautiful, more than the Moonstruck IMO.
Well, the Moonstruck doesn't lack charm, but it is bit too big.
Tend to agre with you, anyway... Best, my friend. Nicolas
