Don t get me wrong…nice watch but
I wasn t 100% convinced…The tourbillon wheel and cage is a bit small and the bridge not too attractive,the skeleton bridges leave a lot of space in the case…Mind its a beautiful watch but it didn t give me the goosebumps as I expected…
As for the Freak….I know……I will keep dreaming,Or go to the gym and make my wrist bigger.

Ulysse Nardin Basel Fair 2014: Predictions, Dreams?
We already know three watches from the 2014 collection: The Dual Time Manufacture, which was posted by Marcus a few weeks ago, and the new Perpetual Calendar revealed to us by Foversta, in December 2013, as well as the " Horse ", which is the new enamel o...
I'm smitten with the new Perpetual Manufacture
The hands, dial, case... even the name! Can't wait for your report on this one. As for new models at Baselworld 2014... it might be unlikely to see completely new complications, as UN has really gone to bat here these past years. I think last year they re...
Yes Nico, a new astronomical watch (that I can understand) will be great, plus ...
... more watches with enamel dials exhibiting different themes (from Donzé Cadran) As a side note, Donzé apparently is the firm that is making the enamel Pegasus dials for Vulcain for the Year of the Horse. From press photos, the dials look pretty good . ...
my response to: "You are not afraid to see so many different enamel dials?"
Hi Nico, No, I am not afraid of an expansion of UN enamel dials. Reason is that I rather have Donzé uses its production capacity to produce enamel dials for UN than other brands. This way UN can become even stronger in this niche market. Gordon
For sure, the " new " 118 will receive some interesting developments
At the service of new complications. And I can't wait to see the UD mad expression of their horological talent. But like you, I was so surprised last year that I doubt this year will be as strong.. But with them, who knows??? Best, my friend. Nicolas
More models with the UN-118
At least that is what my hopes are. With any luck they've been able to scale up production of the UN-118 to transition more away from the ETA movements. My hopes are for a Marine Chronometer with the UN-118 in a 43 mm case and Roman numerals. If they make...
The 43 mm case already exists. As we are picky, I would love it without date, OR...
With a big date! Best, Nicolas
Personally, I expect a new cal. 118 Marine Diver ...
... as well as a new Marine Diver Chronograph with the inhouse movement. What I would wish is a new, sportive perpetual in steel case, similar to the old Diver Perpetual, but a bit stronger in design. Maybe in a ceramic case, or rubber-coated, or somethin...
Not a big fan of those enamel dials...
I mean ,not the enamel itself,but the pictures depicted are really not my cup of tea…. Well considering that,the tourbillon manufacture didn t pass my in-metal test and that the new Freak cruiser is way too big for me,I wish UN will come out with a new Fr...
Yes, you weren't convinced by the Tourbillon Skeleton, really?
As for your dream, I fear it is not in the tube... ;) Best, Nicolas

Silicon implants? ...
Cosmetic surgery to increase the wrist size would be an interesting new niche for watch enthusiasts, I think ... I understand your feelings regarding the tourbillon manufacture. Just somehow, it does not ring a bell in me. Maybe it is due to my traditiona...
Agreed on your preferences, Marcus.
Onlt a few can compete with the Royal Blue. GP, with the 3 GB, is certainly one of them. Best, Nicolas
Well, as a matter of fact there are many tourbillons I would rank at the very, very top ..
... ex aequo: Haldimann, GP, Omega Central, most of the classic Breguet tourbillons, the Patek Eight Days (or is it ten? You know, the rectangular beauty), and so on, and so on. For me, the Royal Blue is the nicest among the UN tourbillons, if I do not co...
Yes, the Patek is a Ten Days Tourbillon Ref 5101.
After, it is a matter of taste, you are right, I meant Tourbillons who do sing to me. I forgot two, and I have no excuses: The JLC Gyrotourbillon One, and the JLC Reverso Platinum Tourbillon Skeleton. Best, Nicolas
