My father-in-law got a new Ulysse Nardin watch a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen it yet, but was told it's a chrono. I think he paid around 5k for it. Anybody here know much about this brand?

Older brand with a great history. Top notch finish on the case and movements and some very innovative newer models like the Freak and Sonata.

I owned a Marine Chronograph in the past, just a beautiful watch with a great bracelet and clasp.

Would love to know which model he got. The brand is alot more popular outside of the Americas.

Yeah I remember that watch!

They are a great brand IMO, very well designed watches, particularly some of their more 'dressy' versions. They just ooze style, would love to see some pics!

colemanitis · 26 August 2006, 10:09 AM

I'll take a pic next time he comes over. Thanks guys, it sounds like he got a quality timepiece!

I love the blued hands as well. Won't be messing up the keyboard over it, though.

UN is a brand I am very interested in. They have some great technology in their GMT watches, and the 1846 Marine Chronometer is on my list next after I tried it on this past winter.

Probably the watch I want most from UN is the Sonata. I've handled this in person and it's a stunner.

Here's a pic (this one's not my picture):

The sound of the alarm is incredible. Here's a video I found on line:

It is not a cheap watch however.....

White gold version listed at $63K, but I'm sure they would cut a deal on it.

The Marine Diver Chron. is a beauty. Comes w/ silver dial, also black.
