Ulysse Nardin gold watch – Freak 28.800


Ulysse Nardin gold watch – Freak 28.800


After its 2001 launch, the collection makes a powerful new surge with a new Dual Ulysse double-impulse escapement enabling the balance to beat at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The two wheels making up the central part of this new escapement comprise 18 active teeth, conducive to enhanced energy flow. The winding mechanism on the case-back is stabilised by means of a ball-bearing mechanism, thus reducing friction and facilitating supple winding of the barrel.
Endowed with a tourbillon regulator and free of any hands, dial or crown, this watch has an escapement that requires no lubrication. Approximately 7-day power reserve. 18-carat yellow gold case, also available in white or pink gold. Alligator leather strap with 18-carat gold folding clasp.

Rolex GMT. FIRST IMPRESSIONS

WOW! What else can I say. This particular watch had been freshly serviced by a Rolex Service Center (RSC) before I received it. It came complete with the original box, tag, GMT manual/booklet, and of course the 1yr Rolex warranty/service receipt. While at the RSC the watch received a new dial, hands, bezel insert, crown, oyster band, acrylic, and a good polish job to the original case. I felt as though I just received a brand new watch even though it’s over 20 years old (circa approx 1984).

Piaget salutes Grammy nominees


Los Angeles—Swiss watchmaker Piaget hosted a pre-Grammy Awards party this weekend, honoring recording artists Mary J. Blige and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.

The party recognized the artists’ combined 12 Grammy nominations and raised money for The National Runaway Switchboard, a cause supported by both stars. The National Runaway Switchboard is a federally designated, national communication system dedicated to keeping America’s runaway and at-risk youth safe and off the streets.

The artists performed their hit “Runaway Love” at Sunday’s Grammy Award’s ceremony, and the video for the song features the phone number for the switchboard.
