Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Calendar Manufacture Watch
For 2014, Ulysse Nardin continues to move "in-house" by replacing many of its existing watch collections with new ones that include in-house made movements. With the "Perpetual Manufacture" the brand's perpetual calendar movement gets a full in-house treatment. Previously it was a sort of half and half movement combining an in-house module with something like a base Swiss ETA automatic. To debut the fully in-house made perpetual calendar movement Ulysse Nardin will release the first models as a limited edition set.Ulysse Nardin has been making in-house movements for quite a while, but most of them have been in their most high-end watches. This includes their various minute repeaters, tourbillons, and range of exotic high-complication timepieces. Only with the caliber UN-118 (hands-on here) finally released in 2012 did Ulysse Nardin begin to produce in-house made movements for their larger collection of watches. The UN-118 has been complimented but a range of other calibers and for 2014

shipping a daytona from Switzerland
A friend living in Switzerland got an SS Daytona for me.He is asking me if I want to visit him in EU and get it.Though I am thinking of shipping directly to US.Do I need to pay tax/duties or any other charges when doing international shipping from Switzerland to US, what is the rate?Do I need to do pre-pay ? and does US customs blocks my package if don't pay in advance?I did some research but am still not clear.Any body here knows the answer or had similar experience to share?Thanks!
