Personal Note

This Ulysse Nardin has shocked me and many of those who have seen it! Unfortunately, Ulysse Nardin are responsible for some not so great watches in recent years, but they are a brand with a serious heritage and history and the capabilities to make incredible watches on par with the very best out there, this is a testament to that. I personally adore this Ulysse Nardin and would happily add one to my personal collection one day.
