You'd think that major watch brands would buckle down on spending and merely focus on selling what already works. Nevertheless, there is still magic and the unexpected around many corners - such as this new wonder- watch from one of my favorite brands, Ulysse Nardin. Sitting with brand CEO Patrik Hoffmann, he asks me with a slight smile, "Did you see the Grand Deck?"Ulysse Nardin has been inspired by the world of boating at least a few dozen times over the years, and new interpretations continue to manifest from that, such as this Ulysse Nardin Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon.

Hz with a 4. 8- hour power reserve. The movement has a unique finishing, as seen through the rear of the sapphire crystal caseback window, and doesn't look like any other Ulysse Nardin watches that come to mind.
