Introducing The Ulysse Nardin UFO, Blast Hourstriker, And Diver X Skeleton

 When it comes to Ulysse Nardin, it's hard not also to think about innovative, avant-garde design. With a steady focus on the use of uncommon materials, novel mechanics, and artistic thinking, the brand in its modern history has made a name for itself with collections like the Freak, and so many individual watches like the Marine Mega Yacht and suggestive Classic Voyeur Minute Repeater, among so many others.

In addition to tourbillons and movements skeletonized to within an inch of their life, Roger Dubuis has got the carats. But sometimes, even a blinged-out skeleton tourbillon ain't enough excess.

Introducing The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 4947/1A

 With the new 4947/1A, Patek Philippe is offering an annual calendar with a round Calatrava-style case in steel. At 38mm in diameter, it's right in the sweet spot of what a lot of enthusiasts might consider to be an ideal dress-watch size, paired with a matching five-row bracelet in steel. It's a beautiful watch, though it's not the first 4947, a reference Patek has previously used for ladies' references, replika órák  putting diamonds on the crown and bezel. Besides the fact that this round annual calendar is steel, what's unexpected about it is that this time around, at least according to anything I've seen, Patek isn't assigning this watch to any gender. To the contrary, Patek says the 4947/1A's 38mm size matches virtually every wrist. I've not seen this watch in the metal, but I'm inclined to agree.

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Carpe Diem Minute Repeater Is Here To Remind You To Not Get Too Attached

 Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well ... " – although I bet this is not the kind of skull Shakespeare had in mind. This is a real piece of horological exotica – a watch with a very high relief sculpture of a skull on the dial, with a snake whose tail is a retrograde seconds indication, and with a lever on the side which, when operated, sets off the minute repeater, and also makes the snake spring into action. The tail moves forward to point to the minutes past the hour. replicas omega The jaws of the skull open to reveal the words "carpe diem." And a lattice falls into place around the flower, changing it into another form of Louis Vuitton's signature flower emblem.

It is justly said that a picture is worth a ...
