Catalogue Essay
- The perfect companion for a frequent traveler, the seemingly disorganized positioning of the dial elements on this Ulysse Nardin is actually an intentional design choice that belies its true power and functionality.
- Not only boasting a dual time movement, the second time zone is displayed through a jumping hour aperture at 9 o'clock, which is presented in a 24-hour format for clear day/night indication - an extremely practical feature for the globetrotting individual.
- In addition, its dual time complication allows the user to adjust the time with olive shaped pushers that can be operated forward or backward. The date is also equipped with the quick-set function that is perfect for the traveller on the go.
- From the original owner, the watch is kept in “like-new” condition with its full set of accessories.
- Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.
