Ulysse Nardin Classico Manufacture Thoughts?

Hi guys,

Wonder what you all think about this new watch from UN? It comes with a enamel blue fume dial. And it retails for under USD9K which sounds like good value. No prior experience about this brand so will love to hear your thoughts.

I like Ulysse Nardin and frequently wear a Dual-Time..

This one looks great.

I enjoy my dual time greatly. Very nice quality for the price.
This blue enamel watch is stunning, just buy to keep... 50%-60% depreciation is normal for this brand.

That is a beautiful watch. Is it steel or WG? I reckon it would look really nice in RG too.

That's a very beautiful watch. You can find cheaper products but I don't think those would match the fit a few finish of the Ulysse Nardin.
My only nitpick is the painted numbers �� I like to have solid hour markers instead of these

Yeah, and that practically applies to anything that isn't AP/Rolex/Patek. I guess it factors into the price. I might actually go for it if I see it irl.

I would have prefer applied indices as well. Will see how it turns out irl.

I like UN as a brand. Their high end stuff is very well done and horologically interesting. There is a reason Russian plutocrats love the brand so much.

Just make sure you buy right because the depreciation is serious.

Their most famous high-end stuff is the Freak, which is a watch with a flying tourbillon. I have seen one before and it's super cool. However, can't forsee myself folking out so much $$$ for a UN.

Haven't see the UN yet so can't judge but it's hard to beat Moser for build quality. The problem with the Moser is that it always looses out to my Patek as the dress watch of choice and doesn't gets worn enough so better flip it.
