Ulysse Nardin

I must confess a strong weakness for this Marine Theme from Ulysse Nardin.

Three gorgeous dials, featuring some vessels.

Let's start with the Santa Maria:



Now, the HMS Caesar:



And the San Marco Cloisonné Achille:



There were some others, like the Vespucci:



Or the Bounty:



I much prefer the latest Santa Maria or Caesar, but all of these enamel dials are to die for.

Which is your favourite?

I have admired these enamel dialed pieces for years.  While I cannot say my favorite, I can say I would enjoy having one of these as part of my small collection.

Thanks for all of the great UN posts lately Nico!

There is such a great diversity of dials, dials like those we love....

Still, my heart is taken by the Langematik Anniversary, because of the movement.

But these UN dials... Hmmm!

Nicolas

There is an Asian version...the Thai row boat dial

... just search for Nardin enamel Thai

... and type in nardin enamel thai

found this link from Marcus. Cheers, Francois

Thai Dragon Boat:



Thank you, Francois!

and particularly what he did with Ulysse Nardin, it is a fascinating story...... rugs to riches really! My interest for UN is growing by the hour

Rolf was a visonary man, while Oechslin is THE one to make Rolf's dreams and ideas come true, Gygax and Humair being the fab watchmakers.

A magic team, for magic watches.
