Ulysse Nardin Watch Manufacture: Where Technology Meets Pride
Patrik Hoffmann was given the position of Ulysse Nardin CEO after the brand's long standing CEO Rolf Schnyder sadly passed away in the spring of 2011. He recalls Rolf with extreme fondness, referring to how he treated him like a son in many ways, and how for long periods of time he would live at Rolf's Swiss home while Mr. Schnyder lived in Malaysia for long parts of the year. In many ways he was being bred to take over the historic brand that Rolf saved during the quartz crisis in the 1980s.Just a few weeks before his death I saw Rolf at Baselworld who offered a small speech on the future of Ulysse Nardin. He seemed energetic but those closest to him knew he had been not well for a while. Nevertheless, it was important for Rolf to share news on the brand's upcoming caliber UN-118 movement that would be placed in the brand's highest volume watches such as the Marine Chronometer.The UN-118 will contain technology that I believe is very important to the watch industry's future, and its s

I have a 71/2 wrist, so even though it is a 48mm fitment will not be an issue. I would sincerely welcome any thoughts, advise or guidance.Kind regards.

Tudor Black Bay on an Everest Rubber Strap
Dear fellas,Recently I've bought an Everest rubber strap to my Tudor Black Bay, and I would like to share some impressions.I must say that I've read a lot before buying it and I was in the same dilemma that most customers searching for a rubber strap were: Everest or Rubber B? Below you will find why I've chosen Everest.First, the design. I think that the curved strap connecting to the case �C instead of the drop-down style from Rubber B �C and the line running until the end of the strap are two design elements that are simply beautiful. If you look close, the Oysterflex has a similar look: the arch connecting the case and the running line until the end, not fading on the strap.Second, the cost. Although the strap it's not cheap, the Rubber B strap costs $ 240.00 ($15.00 more) without any buckle. I would have to buy a Tudor OEM deployment clasp (which is very expensive and I don't like it, personally) or an aftermarket buckle. I believe that a customer who is buying a product such as
