Ulysse Nardin Sonata 10th birthday.
By: amanico : July 23rd, 2014-08:27
There are few watches which, in my collection, have this importance. A sentimental and horological importance, I mean. Sentimental, because the Sonata is one of my first original " high end " piece which lived many important events of my Professional and ...
Happy 10th Birthday to your Sonata !!

Never knew that it had so many useful functions. Regarding your statement about what you like about UN: "attracted in the magic world of Ulysse Nardin with the Astronomical watches, the Perpetual Calendar, the Chronograph Monopusher and, of course the Fre...
Happy 10, my friend! :)

A beautiful homage to the Queen of Alarms! :) Best Blomman
Happy creative day to you and one of my favorite watches as well.

Your description is spot on, as usual. I remember seeing it first presented by Rolf and Patrick. I was struck then and was fortunate to get the same model as the one favored by Rolf. I was also fortunate to go for the the Sonata 2 as it was worlds better ...
Hello Mitch!

I deeply think that the Sonata is the kind of Watch you can fully understand and enjoy only if you live with it. One of the few watches which made me shiver...Pure horological happyness. We should do a Sonata Roll Call! All the very best, my friend. Nicol...
Happy anniversary!

What else to add,one of those watches that really made a part of history. Its virtues are endless(back and forth for the BIG DATE and COUNTDOWN,24 HOURS alarm setting,GMT,quick setting of the HOUR HAND when landing on different places.....etc etc...) A li...
I do know. And you starting a SFC only adds more pressure!

I dream frequently on a complicated UN. The Freak Cruiser is atop my list of two. The Sonata is second, but it could also be much more affordable. I would hope to own one of each in the future. I am more convinced all the time about the original style Son...
Beautiful write up and beautiful watch Nicolas.

I've only recently learned about the Sonata, but I think it may end up one of my grails, for all the reasons you so eloquently presented. Like you, I feel that a GMT with alarm is the ideal travel watch. I haven't seen the sonata in real life yet, but I'v...
I fear my English is not that good for that.

But I am pretty sure your taste will drive you to fall in love with the magnificient Sonata! If you ever come by Paris.... All the best! Nicolas
Trust me! Someone who writes in English as well as you, and who

reads the posts as much as i'm sure you do will have no problem with that novel. Reading is much easier than listening or writing. Next time I'm in Paris I will take you up on seeing and hearing the sonata my friend!
