Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual Black DIal 18kt White Gold Black Leather Men's Watch 320-60-32

A nice looking watch, but I find that it doesn't keep time as well as other watches I have owned. It gains about 10 minutes every few days.

WORLDTEMPUS - 21 February 2011

At the eighth annual Doha Jewelry and Watch Exhibition, which took place February 15-20 in Qatar, complex timepieces for men were of the utmost importance. While many were adorned with diamonds and gemstones, the bling seemed to be the accent instead of the emphasis this year. In fact, with some of the world's most prestigious brands exhibiting at this consumer-oriented show, the most prevalent timepieces on display for men seemed to be tourbillons - with prestigious brands such as Audemars Piguet, Bovet, Arnold & Son, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Ulysse Nardin and Zenith showing their finest.

Others displaying complicated watches included boutique brands such as Hautlence and Ladoire and sporty brands such as Breitling and Bell &Ross - whose wares were equally in demand. In fact, more than 100 watch brands were in attendance at this exhibition.
"The Qatari market appreciates sophistication in watchmaking," says Jerome Favier, Sales and Trade Marketing Director for Jaeger-LeCoultre worldwide. "They like diamonds as accents around the bezel or on the case, but these days they are looking for complicated watches to satisfy their demands in taste."

Because this was a "cash-and-carry" show, so to speak, most of the brands exhibited timepieces already available for sale, though some released sneak peeks of products to come in Basel. Arnold & Son, for instance, showed its James Cook trilogy that retails for 156,000 Swiss francs featuring three watches, each depicting a scene from James Cook's expeditions and explorations around the world - including his fatal visit to the Hawaiian Islands. The set is created in a limited edition of 25 pieces, and 12 have already been sold according to Philippe Boven, Executive Vice President of Arnold & Son.

Bovet was also doing b business with its Dragon Watch, which features a tourbillon on one side and an exquisite enamel dragon on the reverse side. This year's delivery of this timepiece will have consumers all set for 2012 - the Chinese Year of the Dragon.
Brands fortunate enough to have special pieces in both jeweled and complicated arenas brought both to the fair. Such is the case with Vacheron Constantin, who showed both the classically elegant Patrimony and Historiques lines in addition to the high-jewelry Kallah watches. Piaget did the same - delighting visitors with the ultra-thin Altiplano models and the high-jeweled one-of-a-kinds.

For women diamonds and gemstones remain important in the Middle Eastern market, and at the Qatar show they were all the rage. Even American jewelry brands such as William Goldberg showed full Ashoka-cut diamond timepieces. Harry Winston, Graff, Jacob & Co., and a few of the other top diamond houses also answered the call with mega-diamond watches for this market.  

WORLDTEMPUS— 3 June 2010
To celebrate twenty years of his company last year, Christophe Claret decided to present a very special watch outside of his normal range of activities: the DualTow was the first watch to officially carry his own name. Today, the watchmaking entrepreneur announced that he will make one watch under his own name every year and that it will be sold through his own distribution network. From here on out, the DualTow will be regarded as the watch that kicked off Claret's own brand, freeing it from the constrictive role of "anniversary watch."
Limited to just a couple dozen pieces per year, Claret's watches will certainly be the apple of any collector's eye. The 490,000 Swiss franc price tag for the DualTow and that of 540,000 for the Night Eagle—the evolution unveiled this past spring—have established the positioning of this mini-brand. Prices such as these have been fairly well axed throughout the industry since the economic crisis began in late 2008. Claret finds them totally legitimate for his own products, however, since his work forms the base for dozens of calibers just as innovative and complex for well-known names such as Ulysse Nardin, Jean Dunand, and Guy Ellia. The tourbillon that is present in all of his movements is, for example, the base of the least complicated movement that his company manufactures.

"Of the five movements presently in development here, three are dedicated to my own brand," Claret announced. "And like all the calibers invented within these walls, they will contain functions that have never been seen before in horology." To ensure sales, he has retained the services of Phil Ogle, an expert experienced in the distribution of haute horlogerie whose goal is to open markets such as France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Despite debuting the Dual Tow and its evolutions in the midst of the global economic crisis, they have meanwhile found their audiences. Claret described having sold two per month on average.

To achieve his unusual production needs, Claret has invented tools that he never ceases to improve. In fact, a few machines in the watch industry did not exist at all until he enlisted the aid of certain suppliers to make what he had in mind. His Flashcut Laser, which can cut sapphire, allows him to completely master all of the operations needed to design and manufacture modern complicated calibers. He recently purchased a CNC machine with 16 axes—an absolute record—to take its place of honor within his four walls. At a price exceeding one million Swiss francs, it was two years before this colossal piece of technology could be put into production in his Le Locle-based factory.

Like the majority of movement suppliers in the watch industry, Claret has had to deal with a decline in orders. He has not hidden the fact that his factory is also on short shifts; he has spent this time refining his catalogue of new calibers and optimizing his production processes so as to be ready for the day when business returns to normal. "Some determined watchmakers have had the task of creating a THF - Test, homologation, fiabilite - workshops with protocols of tests for the approval of the new movements and current production," he says. "Some apparatus have been specially developed for testing buttons and pushers, evaluating shock resistance, gravity, and water resistance. These have been used to analyze all the different tests known to watchmaking like the C.O.S.C., Qualite Fleurier, and Chronofiable and to take the most pertinent elements from them."

Meeting Ludwig Oechslin, Pierre Gygax, Lucas Humair, and four other watchmakers from Ulysse Nardin's talented horological team at the Geneva airport on September 23 was no accident: it was quite planned for everyone to get "moonstruck" together the following day on the Côte d'Azur's sunny coast along with other key members of the Le Locle-based company's team such as owner Rolf Schnyder, PR head Susanne Hurni, U.S. president Patrik Hoffmann, and other key members of the familial Ulysse Nardin team.
Gravity effects
The most logical place for this to take place, of course, was the phenomenal Nice observatory, a research institute steeped in astronomical history and today merged with CERGA - Centre de Recherches en Geodynamique et Astrometrie- to form the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur.
The Moonstruck model was right at home here, as this newest member of Ulysse Nardin's exceptional astronomical line could almost be considered a scientific instrument itself. The basic premise of Moonstruck—alongside displaying the time—is to depict the effects of gravity on the earth. Gravity, as Dr. Diana Valencia of the observatory explained, is not only created by the earth's most famous satellite—the moon—but also by the sun. Hence, the Moonstruck model simulates the rotation of the moon around the earth - in center of dial - as well as the earth-centric appearance of the sun as it "travels around" the blue planet. Both are simulated by disks making one full rotation every 24 hours. Thus the current moon phase can be determined in relation to any given earth-bound location—a moon phase that would, by the way, be accurate for 70 years were the watch to run continuously for this amount of time according to Oechslin, who not only curates the La Chaux-de-Fonds international watch museum, but also famously provides astronomical complications to Ulysse Nardin.
Thanks to the availability of both displays, a third incredible element can also be shown on the timepiece's mother-of-pearl disk: the trend of global tide dynamics in relation to specific coastlines and oceans. Yet another first for horological pioneer Ulysse Nardin, Moonstruck is the first wristwatch to boast this capability.
In-house development
Moonstruck's Caliber 106 is a true Ulysse Nardin development and displays more typical elements than its astronomical functions: this automatic mechanism with about 50 hours of power reserve gets its timekeeping ability from an escapement and hairspring fully crafted in silicon. Additionally, it is also outfitted with the same GMT +/- function that graces many of Ulysse Nardin's creations: simply pushing the top button on the left side of the case sets the second time zone hand forward in exact one-hour increments. The button located directly below it performs the same task in the other direction.
Moonstruck is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces in 18-karat red gold and 500 pieces in platinum. The case diameter is a stately 46 mm, and the watch is fittingly water-resistant to a full 100 meters.
Technical horology
Ulysse Nardin made its name back in the mid-1980s with astronomical complications conceived by Oechslin that were prompted by Schnyder, who saved Ulysse Nardin from going under in the quartz inundation of the 1970s and '80s. It, however, remains to be stressed that all of the pioneering work accomplished in the more technical aspects of horology that Ulysse Nardin has achieved since 1983 must be attributed to the extreme teamwork and talent of the entire staff, including technical director and engineer Gygax and movement designer Humair. It is this extraordinary interplay of the individuals that make up the content of Ulysse Nardin and allow the company's remarkable timekeepers to continue to have wearers and admirers all over the world become moonstruck on a regular basis.
