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

Yes, I’ve never found out the truth as to why the different second hand colors exist.

We may never know now, sadly as I suspect with the “Dream Team” of Rolf, Ludwig and Pierre Gygax long gone, those details are probably lost to history. The possible explanation is that a small series came out with the steel hand like yours. Then someone a

One of the most photogenic watches of all time

I had a strong love for this model and owned it twice. Many years the first time around, and then after selling it, tried it a second time. I just never wore it as much as I should have. In my small collection, my code is I wear it or I don't keep it, and

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

I've always liked UN's Marine dial design...

and remember the excitement when they first came out with the ltd. ed. anniversary Marine Chronometer in yg, back in '93 or so. (I also remember that my initial excitement was dampened, though, when I called UN about it directly and found out that it was

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
