Ulysse Nardin San Marco Hour Striker 759-20 MOP Guilloche Dial Platinum
Founded in 1846, Ulysse Nardin are one of watchmaking’s most famed brands in the world of seafaring due to their highly accurate marine chronometers and complicated timepieces. In service across more than fifty of the world's navies from the end of the 19th century till 1950, Ulysse Nardin’s modern brand is built upon this maritime heritage, with a host of their offerings linked to the sea. However, they also have a slew of offerings that break from that seafaring tradition, much like the San Marco Hour Striker ref. 759-20 that we have here. Made of platinum, this timepiece boasts a "Sonnerie En Passant" striking hour and half hour at 12 o'clock and an accompanying on/off indicator at 3 o'clock. Additionally, the watch also features an automaton Jack on its dial whereby the silver figure strikes the bell in step with the sonnerie itself. Boasting applied Breguet numerals atop its guilloche mother of pearl dial, the San Marco Hour Striker is a wonderful reminder that while a brand might be known for one thing, like marine chronometers in UN’s case, they can also surprise you with something from an entirely other world, just like this timepiece.
