Im excited about the new Freak Cruiser - it looks superb in RG...the movement is a real beauty and it maintains its "freakiness" intact!
Thanks for the report Marcus, you are the only one anywhere on the net with photos of this watch!

Well for me, the winners are the skeleton tourbillon Manufacture, the Stranger, and the Carnival of Venice. I am happy to see UN reelasing an in house Chrono, but expected a bit more on the finishing, as you said, and at least on th dial, with the presenc...

... and I think you will be as fascinated by the new pieces as I were once you hold them in your hands. the Freak Cruiser is a gem. The new bezel might be something you have to get used to, but it is more functional, and reminds me of the great Porsche De...
I won't bet on it ...

Over the years Marcus, there have been no reports I look forward to as much as yours. I am thrilled that UN has launched such an impressive array of novelties that we see your talents at the forefront again. On the watches, there are several tempting crea...

I am glad you like the report, and I will be present here more frequently in the future. Just have to deal with sickness in my familym which consumes a lot of energy. Regards, Marcus
Wonderful presentation ...
By: nilomis : May 8th, 2013-07:11
Your presentation, as usual, is an excellent and detailed introduction to where U.N. is going. I'm unsure if I like the most "flashy" models, since my preferences are for more functional and under the radar models. For me, the black dialed chronograph is ...
Of course ...
By: nilomis : May 8th, 2013-12:38
But I feel more comfortable (and safe) wearing a watch that does not cry louder as most of the U. N. models do. That's the reason why my "vote" goes to the black dialed chronograph. Thanks, Nilo
Some new info added to the original article ...
By: Marcus Hanke : May 8th, 2013-11:26
Thankfully, Ulysse Nardin supplied me with some additional information, as well as minor corrections to my article, which I have integrated into it. Mainly, it concerns the movement of the "Stranger", especially its power management. Regards, Marcus

... when watching the video of the "Cruiser" on the tiny camera display. Yes, it is indeed a marvelous and worthy "Freak", my wife, with her love for everything maritime, likes the anchor movement, too. Regards, Marcus
Whats not to like in this years collection??
By: moc : May 15th, 2013-14:31
The cruiser is (Yes I share your wife s aesthetic point of view..) number 1 spot....shared with the Tourbillon... These 2 won t make me sleep in the months to come. I can t wait for them to hit the shops in the next few months. i will be waiting with anti...
Which Chronometer do you mean?

As I wrote to Mo already ...
By: Marcus Hanke : May 14th, 2013-07:06
... the "Cruiser" is a stunning piece. I would even go so far to say that it is a pity that it was shown along the "Skeleton" and the "Stranger", since three such breathtaking timepieces presented at the same time might compromise each other's impact a li...
