A hidden gem joined my collection.

Since late last year, I embarked on a new quest, which is to acquire some hidden gems from the early 2000’s, a period which in my opinion is the last time when horology really fired on all cylinders, creating some remarkable unique and functional referenc

I thought it was more like $23,000 when it came out but could be wrong. Either way it blew my mind, I wanted it but also couldn't afford it. Eventually my local AD told me that

they're sold out. A couple of years later we were at a favorite multi brand store in Vegas looking at UNs and my wife says isn't that the Perpetual ltd you love? Yep!! They said a good customer had put a down payment on it and then got sick and passed awa

I love the grand feu enamel, but I've nevert gotten comfortable with the layout on the UN dual time (or perepetual calendar) watches.

I'd also take a close look at the digital hour and double date apertures under a loupe. I've seen some cases where the edges come off a little crude. For another completely different grand feu enamel dial travel watch (with an alarm, to boot) in the exact

Looks nice

Enamel is always a big plus and it is a very convenient dual time watch. But they are operating within the constraints of the movement which they haven't changed in decades and so have to accomodate things like the second timezone at 9 that don't look gre

Coincidentally, I tried on that piece at an AD just the other day

The Classico Dual Time’s grand feu enamel dial by Donze Cadrans was what drew my eyes to it. On the wrist, the combination of the fresh, pure white of the enamel and the blue markers and displays came across as beautifully as one would expect. Overall, th

Remember…

To name a few. Not just a different metal or dial color but real exciting stuff: Who else did anything as diverse in a relatively short period? Seems impossible. - The Trilogy Set: Astolabium, Tellurium, Copernicus. Probably the pinnacle to own. - Hourstr

At one time I had 4.

I had the Marine 1846, the Maxi Marine Diver in a wine color. And I still have the Maxi Marine Chronograph in beige and the Executive Dual Time in black. Not exactly sure what the era range is but the Executive Dual Time was about 2012 and the rest were e

Happy Birthday......as a lover of UN, especially the earlier versions...

the X style probably got it's DNA from the Executive Dual Time from circa 2012. It was a love it or hate it model, but I'm a fan. It seems most of the UN models of today take their cues from the ones of the earlier 2000 up through the 2000 teens, which we

What a fantastic watch, mon ami!

Hard to believe this watch is already 21 years old… 🙏 The dial still looks incredibly fresh and sharp and the complications are truly fantastic. I have read a lot about the Ulysse Nardin Sonata: it was far ahead of its time: • Mechanical alarm with cathed
