Baselworld 2015: Ulysse Nardin Hannibal Minute Repeater (Updated with Live Photo and Price)
Ulysse Nardin has launched the Hannibal Minute Repeater at Baselworld 2015. The watch combines Ulysse Nardin's classic use of jaquemarts with a Westminster carillon, a tourbillon, and a distinctive dial material. Let's take a look.For those who are wondering, a jaquemart is an automaton used in conjunction with a hammer to strike the time on a bell or gong. Jaquemarts are not exclusive to watch designs, and have been made at least since the heyday of automata in the 18th century. Ulysse Nardin has made a practice of designing jaquemarts for its minute repeaters.The Hannibal Minute Repeater employs manufacture caliber UN-78. It runs in 36 jewels; its power reserve is approximately 70 hours. This manually wound tourbillon movement is the brand's go-to caliber for the Minute Repeater Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts collection. Previous models in the family include the Genghis Khan watch and the Alexander the Great watch.One particularly unusual feature of the Hannibal watch is

Straps
Are the straps alike for Deployment and standard buckle. I can not seem to get my deployment to be comfortable. Even went from the black rubber to a black hornback with red stitching, but she's either too lose or tight!!!Either parting ways or someone here can solve this. HELP!

Unexpected Incoming!
I am blessed and fortunate to be the new owner of a brand new, 2500D, Planet Ocean 2201.50.I honestly never thought I would find a brand new one with a 3-yr Omega warranty after a few years of this version being discontinued.I am very thankful!

What?
.forbes/sites/hannahel...-pocket-watch/ Someone tell me I don't know how to read.....please. I just read that they want almost $72k for a pocket watch that has zero complications and not a single precious stone on it. (I'm not taking jewels for movement).Panerai, I love you, but but but.........really?

Incoming - Rolex GMT Master 2
Just picked up this from my AD. I have always wanted a GMT watch in my collection. SS Rolex are hard to come by but I am happy my AD come good on this. I have the option of getting the BLNR but choose this instead. I prefer it's more understated appearance and love that green GMT hand. Very Rolex. Will make a good pair with my DD40 YG. Haven't got time to do more proper shots so this is quick snapshot.
