Horological Meandering

Ulysse Nardin Freak, first generation in white gold / Jaeger Lecoultre Master Minute Repeater in tiranium Grade 5. 

The Ulysse Nardin certainly is one of the most innovative modern watch. Silicon escapement, which was a first, no crown to set the time and to wind the watch, and a 8 Days baguette movement which makes one turn in 12 hours. 

The Jaeger Lecoultre is good at that game, too: 15 days power reserve, Torquemeter, titanium Grade 5 polished case, and a design which revisits in a daring way and style the noble and classic complication of the minute repeater. 

Show us what you have OR what you are dreaming of!

Extremely well put together with just the right amount of crazy.

Here are a few of my crazier pieces in the collection today:

The Chronofighter is crazy because it has a corkscrew on the side

In the world of "normal" watches, the Hautlence is mildly cray cray with its TV shaped case and retrograde minutes and jump hour.

This one belongs in the museum of crazy pieces and was intentionally designed that way. The HD3 Idalgo XT-2 aka Wonderwoman's cuff. A watch that actually contains quite a bit of cool techno that would be utilized in other high-end pieces, e.g. variable geometry rotor (that's at you, Richard Mille) and a sapphire dial. Fabrice Gonet who co-designed this piece was a leading influence behind the more commercially successful MB&F HM #2 that came out 2 years later and you can see the shared design influence.

Honestly, besides the next piece, this one gets the most comments of any of these. In the words of the immortal Chris Rock "It's Spinning!!". The Perrelet Turbine XL, because one rotor is never enough.

And last, but not least, my URWERK. Because the house of URWERK only makes crazy watches.

Cheers!
