Wish you posted here before parting with this special watch

In my experience with several UN watches, including GMT +/- Perpetual, Sonata, and Marine Chronometer, I can confidently say that automatic winding was not very efficient (no idea if UN made any improvements in this regard, I have experience with 15+ year

While on vacation...

I came across this Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer at a museum and was shocked. I'd never seen one and assume they're fairly rare, though I wouldn't know. The museum didn't have any detailed information about it in particular, but they did explain what i

Maybe because I was a publishing guy I like my dials to have clean fonts

I’m not a Roman numeral fan on watches although I do have some, like this Seiko Presage. For 20 years this Roman Numeral clock has been “ticking” away in my house, so I have my fill of this numeral system (and had to teach it in math books “the C is 100,
