Ulysse Nardin

All the Ulysse Nardin Fans know that Venezia, and most precisely, the Piazza San Marco, was important for Rolf Schnyder.

For example, it is during one of his trips in Venezia that he  got the inspiration for the Hour Striker and this automaton striking the bell, after having admiring the Clock Tower, its astronomical clock and its summit.

While the Hour Striker is intimately connected to Ulysse Nardin and Venezia, and because I sadly don't own a Hour Striker, I chose to go to Venezia with another milestone from Ulysse Nardin production, the Freak, revealing, expressing the talent, the Genius and the brand, its watchmakers, and Rolf's vision.

The Piazza San Marco,

 

And the Clock Tower, in the background, on the left:

 

I propse you a pictorial visit of the town with the Freak on the wrist, now.

First of all, the unavoidable Piazza,

 

Then the rest of the town, as there are many beautiful places to loose yourself, there:

 

 

 

 

 

The charm of the city, the magic of the Freak, the cocktail is just breathtaking.

Add the artistic dimension of the watch, which matches wit the artistic tradition of the place, and you will now understand why the choice of the Freak was not that bad, for this visit.

Rolf, thank you!

Best,

Nicolas
