Personal Note
This Ulysse Nardin has shocked me and many of those who have seen it! Unfortunately, Ulysse Nardin is 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, so snap it up whilst its available!
