Ulysse Nardin

Novelty, I wouldn't say that, but a new iteration of a classic model for Ulysse Nardin, certainly. The dial, which receives some white and red touches, the colors of the Monaco Principauty, also shows sailing boats. The hands, too, are finished in red and...  

Monaco 2014 on dial it would be tres bien ;) Congrats for 87K my dear friend.....what mind boggling feat in same time frame I "collected" zero less so I'm pretty confident when I say amazing unbelievable bravo Yours D

100 % agree with you, the menton Monaco was not necessary. The Red and White were enough to make us understand that it was related to Monaco. Best, Nicolas

But certainly would not buy it. Does that make sense? So many wonderful offerings from Ulysse Nardin, I dream of some different models :-)

..., if there is still an amount left in it, would be allocated to other pieces (namely ones from Donzé Cadran) !! Thanks for the post. Cheers, Gordon

That is great to have such a determaniation... Still, I have in mind the conversation we had during a superb breakfast in Hong Kong... All enamels for a ding dong enamel? Remember? ;) Torture is sometimes a pleasure.... :) All the best, Gordon. Nicolas

The idea / concept is great and unfortunately the ability to make this dream comes true is limited as it involves a large sum upfront. Effectively the "present value" of the annual watch budget for the next many years. :( Do appreciate your thinking thoug... 

Did I tell you that I was, for a few years now, very tempted to sell most of my watches, to keep only 10 ith me, to then fund only 3 or 4 big monsters, and to end this way? Easier to write than to do, I concede, but how interesting! ;) All the very best, ... 

Something else? Their minute repeaters certainly seem worthy of great sacrifice!

But a Tellurium or an Astrolabium would make my day! Best, Nicolas

Is a beautiful watch, on the basic lines but I don't get why UN put more and more things on top of the basic beauty. It could be a very desirable piece, IMHO if they put a more plain strap, get rid of the "Monaco 2014" and the rubber on the bezel. Call me... 

But I do agree ith you that " less is more " is better.... Though, I am not disturbed by the red and white. That makes me think of a certain Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barakuda: ...  

With some touches of "blood red" of course!

Less is more. I imagine this UN, with a black rubber strap and with a simple metal bezel. Perfectly wearable and a very desirable one. This way, one on the wrist of a Drug Lord (think Scarface). Cheers, Nilo

and cheapened a very appealing, solid base design.

UN, is pulled in other directions rather than this. Is the movement blued? To me the heart of UN lies in the novelty lines burt I do appreciated the business need to have such a product. The Monaco version is like other company's "limited edition", rehash... 

Thanks for your feedback, Mitch. If only they could offer a no date version... ;) Best, Nicolas

They have "tarted up" the product
