Yes that's true.
Maybe I'm just less used to seeing 'Le Locle' and that's why it stands out more in my eyes.
SIHH 2017: Ulysse Nardin Marine Tourbillon.
I already wrote it, but 2017 re ignited my love for Ulysse Nardin, which unveiled a nice and interesting collection, this year. We'll certainly have the time to discuss each of them, but let me introduce you a watch from the 2017 collection which seduced ...
Difficult one this
Like you, I've always admired these UN marine chronometers. They seemed to me to look exactly like a marine chronometer should look; simple dial, easy to read, nice oversize sub seconds (surely essential on a chronometer) and that lovely red 1846.vThe new...
No it's not the tourbillon
It's just the overall look - the absence of lugs, the crown protectors and the rubber on the crown. The combination of these details just jars with me. I'm always the same when a watch I've admired for a long time gets a "modern makeover" however tasteful...
How about...
The 150th anniversary dial, but with the tourbillon viewable only from the back a la Patek or Laurent Ferrier. Kind of like a secret beauty "for your eyes only". Best, J
I still think about this one from SIHH
so many new 2017 novelties disappear into the nether but this one has stuck with me. I too have a problem with the strap that is not sporting enough to put the 100m WR to use. A shame. But overall a great statement by UN and a challenge to the industry th...
I generally like it.
And I applaud UN for trying to rein in the ever growing pricing these days. I do feel the writing in the middle of the dial is quite large, and I'd be curious to see how it looked with smaller font (also not sure if Le Locle - Suisse is completely necessa...
Yes that's true.

I immediately liked this one upon introduction.
My hesitation: the case thickness. I haven't seen the thickness measurement published but it appears a bit puck-ish. Hopefully, the pics deceive and its 14mm or less, which would land the watch on my shortlist. M4
I'm told the case thickness is 12.4mm.
That's just about perfect. Stay tuned, I may have something to show here soon. M4
All things considered, it is a great timepiece that offers more than its price would indicate.
A tourbillon and enamel dial from one of the finest watch manufactures in the world for such a price? Unheard of. Value aside, I love the watch. If I could change 1 thing it would be the lugs, as I prefer something more traditional. I like the bezel edge,...
