This is Watch Your Style.
My name's Eric.
Today I'm going to do a review on a brand that I have not covered in the past...that
brand is Ulysse Nardin watches.
Now, Ulysse Nardin is a brand that for me, it's a very particular brand that has a very
unique design to it.
There's one thing that you can definitely say about the brand...it's that no other watch
brand looks like their designs.
They have a very traditional looking, mostly every single watch they have has a unique
feature that mostly other brands don't have.
And, at least in my opinion, the one thing I noticed is that most of their watches are
themed around a very nautical maritime type of theme.
Beside the dressy ones on a leather strap, most of them are boating watches and since
I'm in Miami, for me it's something that fits perfect.
The two that I have here for you today is going to be the Maxi Marine Chrono and then
I have a Maxi Marine Diver...two totally different watches, but they overall have the same flair
to them.
Now, UN is a brand that it get's snubbed by a lot of people and, for me, I just like that
they stand out and they just look completely different than a lot of the other brands out
there, which tend to be very trendy and very commercialized...whereas, Ulysse Nardin tends
to be a bit more adventurous in their designs.
You could definitely say that there's no other watch out there that has this look that the
strap has of these watches; so that's one of the things when you want something very
unique and you want a watch that's definitely going to stand out, the Ulysse Nardin is something
that's probably that's going to reach that effect that you want.
One thing I want to say also about this brand is that it's a very sporty watch, but it has
definitely a very luxurious feel to it.
That's one thing that for a long time, it's always grabbed my attention.
This being a Diver, I honestly wouldn't treat it like a real dive watch.
True dive watches are going to be a Submariner or something of that nature.
I just wouldn't want to use...I personally wouldn't want to use as a real dive watch
anything with a screwed down cap and a sapphire clear caseback.
I would just rather leave it for the street or for the fancy dinners or just if you want
to wear it daily; whatever you want to do with the watch.
They're offered in many different materials, from titanium to stainless steel.
One of my favorite ones that stands out in the Maxi Marine line is the special edition
called the Hammerhead.
I for one would have liked for them to make it all rose gold, but for some reason it was
two-tone, but the Hammerhead is one that really stands out to me.
And the one last thing I want to point out about these watches, is that when you put
them down, you almost have to babysit the strap...because, for some reason, when you
back the strap back the other way, it tends to tear the strap.
I think that's something they need to kind of go back and check, but 99% of the ones
that I see out there, when I check the rubber strap, this gold buckle right here has actually
dug into the rubber strap.
And for me being a perfectionist and all, that's just something that kind of bothers
me.
So, make sure that you keep an eye on that.
If you buy one, babysit the strap and try to always put it like this in a round configuration
or a watch roll is a good place to always keep it.
If not, it's going to accelerate the need for another strap.
Now, when it comes to value, that's a little bit something with Ulysse Nardin watches that
can pose a problem.
I love the way they look.
I love the watches.
Now, one thing about them is the resale is not going to be as strong as perhaps Rolex,
Audemars, or Patek.
You're buying this watch because you really like and you want it to be part of your watch
collection and perhaps maybe you're just infatuated with the look.
But, if you're buying it for value, then you want to make sure you get a really good price.
I'm talking about, really good.
You can't say I didn't warn you.
So, when buying a UN, that's something that you must always keep in mind...that you're
buying it because you like.
This is definitely not what I would say would be an investment piece.
As far as the Watch Game goes, anyone of these two pieces are very good looking watches and,
for me, it's says that you're bold and daring to step out of the traditional commercialized
brands.
It's just a whole another little niche and it always seems very pleasant in my option
when I see one out and someone's wearing one.
It just catches my eye because other watches just don't look like these...and they give
that effect that they look very expensive.
As far as the Watch Game goes, I think it's a very hype intended, especially when you
get into the gold ones.
I'm not if I would choose this over a gold Yacht-Master II or a gold sub, but it's definitely
a watch that makes an impact and gives you a lot of look for the money.
