Ulysse Nardin Sonata. A fresh shot.

It will be one of my summer watches, this year. A watch which is very dear to me, at the point it is the one which is in my collection for the longest time. This year, it will be with me for 22 years! And love is still here. Best, Nicolas

Ulysse Nardin Sonata.

Ulysse Nardin Group Shot: 160, Freak, Sonata, Perpetual Calendar and Chrono Mono Pusher 175th Anniversary.

Superb post, Denes. The UN PC is brilliant, especially the fact that you can set it forward AND backward, all that through the crown.

Merci MM OESCHLIN and SCHNYDER. Add MM GYGAX and HUMAIR, and you have THE Team who gave life to some of the most marvelous and innovative masterpieces, such as the Astronomical watches, the Sonata, the Freak and so on... What an era! As for your Marine Pe

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
