Ulysse Nardin Sonata Silicium Limited Edition Watch


Watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has introduced their new watch for Baselworld. The Sonata Silicium Limited Edition watch is a limited edition of 300 pieces (in an 18K white or rose gold case). Nardin is now using silicium in all its new models. The movement is the automatic UN caliber 67 with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The functions include hours, minutes, seconds, large date, dual time system with instant time zone adjuster, countdown, cathedral gong alarm. The case is 42mm and it has front and back sapphire crystals with an alligator strap. It's handsome enough and I'm sure the alarm sound is beautiful but I find the yellow hands a bit jarring on such an elegant watch.

Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer Savarona


How do you do justice to one of the world's most beautiful yachts, the Savarona? The Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer Savarona is a pretty sweet homage. The watch has the Savarona name on the dial and, what is even cooler is that is an engraving of the ship on the watch's rotor. The watch has a 43mm 18K rose gold case with front and back sapphire crystals. The movement is the automatic UN caliber 26 and is COSC-certified as a chronometer. It is a limited edition of 99 pieces in gold and 150 in stainless steel. The yacht is now owned by the government of Turkey and the watch is only available to the Turkish market.

Ulysse Nardin Lady Diver


Usually the watches of Ulysse Nardin leave me smitten but their new Lady Diver doesn't inspire. I think perhaps the reason the design doesn't wow me is because the same basic pattern is repeated on the dial, the bezel and the rubber bracelet. The overall effect in monotonous. Also the metal tabs at the top of the watch just seem like an extra place to stuff some diamonds. The watch is 40mm and uses the automatic UN caliber 810 movement. It is available in either a stainless steel or 18K rose gold case.

Ulysse Nardin San Marco Watch

The San Marco cloisonne watches are a study in tiny artistry. Each one is handmade by an artist and features a scene such as St. Basil in Red Square or the bombardment of Algiers in 1816 complete with flames. Each watch has a rose gold case and comes in a limited edition of 30 Enamel Cloisonne dial. The 40mm watch has a self-winding movement and a power reserve of around 40 hours. There are nine watches with different faces in the collection.

Ulysse Nardin Anniversary 160 Watch

The Anniversary 160 watch by Ulysse Nardin debuted at Baselworld this spring. This big-date chronometer uses the automatic UN Caliber 160 movement with 52 jewels which beats at 28,800 bph.  The watch has hour and minute functions, small seconds and a two digit big date. The watch is made in a limited edition of 500 pieces in rose gold and 500 pieces in white gold.
