Ulysse Nardin Baselworld 2014: A review on the Perpetual Manufacture
Foversta showed you a picture of an all new Perpetual Calendar during a cocktail held at the Ulysse Nardin Paris Boutique. There was no press file at this time, for a good reason: The watch belongs to the Basel 2014 collection! The case, dial, hands, cro...
A more consensual timepiece...
The watch looks much more classic than the other PC watches of the collection even if it keeps obviously the original lay-out of the dial. But more consensual doesn't mean lack of character: the size of the bezel, the large pushers and crown give a quite ...
I am quite seduced by this one, Fx.
More than by El Toro, to say all. And this way, it is not too close to the Sonata Design. Good. Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas, very nice pictures and nice....
little review. I agree with you in regard to the and the similarities with the Sonata, these hands are splendid in my opinion but as you say, they should have been "reserved" for the Sonata. The El Toro is not my cup of camomille;) This later iteration i...
The 38 mm has a lot of charm, I must say. But this iteration is far from
Being uninteresting... Tea or Camomille? ;) Best, Nicolas
Bonjour Nico, I agree, this iteration is very nice.....
I was only talking about the size. I really like the new dial and hands. Camomille, please;) Cheers Francois
I am quite impressed and very happy that the
larger wrist crowd is getting a 43mm with the classic design. I find the evolution here to be a tailored one, not radical and the watch exudes fine taste. The rotor has been refined and the sacred symmetry of the dial still shows the great originality of ...
I am still undecided ...
On the one hand, the larger diameter has some attractiveness, but the massive crown and pushers let it appear even larger than the 43mm diameter would suggest. Dial-wise, the windows for weekday and month are now very close together. I have to see it in f...
My pleasure, Marcus. As often, it is much more appealing in the real
Than on pictures. Can't wait to read your final words on it! Best, Nicolas
I definitely like this version.
In pt and gold; pt more though. I think they have given this important complication a more refined and classy look. I like the subtle and unique dial guilloche. Yet the case size and hands maintain a masculine presence. I would like to try one on. Thanks ...
I think this one looks better than the last few incarnations. the larger...
Case size seems to make the cutouts look less symmetric than on the version I own.
A strong family theme, and those beautiful hands of the early sonatas
I think the perpetual is a beautiful choice of value.
The hands were strong on the former and the el toro...
This one, not so although i like the proportion relative to the indices. But, not a strong aesthetic and makes it too safe for a UN :-)
Too wise for you? That is an interesting point you raise!
But if you remember the first perpetual calendars / GMT from the 90ies, early 2000's, they were in the same vein... Best, Nicolas
Thanks for reminding me of my treasures...
I'm a big fan of this complication and I love the UN interpretation: ...
