Hello everyone

Not really updated for a while so a lot has changed in the last few months I have finished most of my course and now I am finishing of my work in Ulysse Nardin factory to get experience and finishes parts of their. And like people say you start learning when you leave school and start on the job so It a new experience for me to get up to speed at the moment these are practice movements that people do when they come for testing just so I can learn the calibers. It very cool to see the complications been serviced and how much work goes into the production or after sales. I have to say its the most amazing experience I have ever had, Been learning a few of their calibers like the dual time and their other modules and the more I learn about the brand the more I like them. I think also sometimes people don't see the work that goes into producing a watch and servicing one but UN put 110% into everything. And their new in house movement is also very interesting the caliber 118 and I look forward to seeing their next in house calibers. The last few photos are from UN or the intrenet because I don't know what photos I can post so I just put a few of the photos from the factory and the others are the in house caliber on the marine chronometer and that is one watch that I would love to have. Hope you like the update thanks joe :) :)

Great to hear from you and congratulations on your internship and continuing education. I owned a Dual Time a few years ago and wouldn't mind owning one again. I prefer the older 40mm models to the newer, and they seem to be getting harder to find.

Hi thank you and yes its really a nice watch having seen one in the factory and working on the movement I am impressed with the functions on it. I had a look and their isn't many of the old style available I don't know why but it looks nice the older one. I know on the old movement they don't produce some parts for it anymore so when its serviced some parts are updated to the new system. :)
