Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture Watch Hands-On
One watch that I certainly didn’t want to miss discussing in 2012 is the new range of Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Manufacture watches. Upped in size and details, the Marine Chronometer Manufacture watches also contain the long awaited in-house made Ulysse Nardin calibre UN-118 automatic movement. While these are not rapid departures from the existing Marine collection, they are handsome watches with good movements and a character that has never before been more “Ulysse Nardin.”The story of the UN-118 automatic movement is rather long. Finished a while ago, the movement experienced some production delays due to the complexity of industrialization. While Ulysse Nardin is not a stranger to producing movements or movement modules, the UN-118 was to be their first in-house made “more basic” movement that was produced in more than just small quantities.
Bell & Ross BR 01 Laughing Skull Watch
Sponsored Post written for best watches by advertiser.Almost ten years ago, Bell & Ross launched its first BR 01 Skull and made a lasting impression by breaking with traditional watchmaking codes. The Bell & Ross Skull family has since become an iconic collection and welcomes this year, a new version of this cool outstanding concept.There's indeed a long and rich tradition between skulls and time. Aside from an undeniable reference to pirates, this emblematic watch symbolizes the military codes, especially the ones from the paratroopers of World War II to remind how vulnerable they were to danger. The famous “Jolly Roger” as a decorative element appears then as a talisman or a rebel symbol.
