faux ulysse nardin watches

Ulysse Nardin has elaborated another innovative astronomical timepiece based on Dr. Ludwig Oechslin's distinctive concept, no more than seventeen years after the conclusion of the historical astronomical "Trilogy of Time". The system of Sun, Earth and Moon is the core of Dr. Ludwig Oechslin's concept, which focuses on the scientifically precise representation of the moon phase as well as the global influence of lunar and solar gravitation causing the ebb and flow of the tides.The movement of two rotating discs is combined in one display and the moon phase indication is so accurate that more than100, 000 years are needed before it shows a full moon instead of a new moon, or the other way around. The Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck reproduces both the seeming movement of the Sun around the globe and the rotation of the Moon around the Earth. Another disc, rotating once ever 24 hours shows the movement of the Sun around the globe which allows establishing the present moon phase with regard to any site worldwide.This innovative mechanical wristwatch, the Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck also illustrates on a global scale the dynamics of tides, which depend upon gravitational effects of the Moon and Sun. It also shows the influences of the Moon and Sun which cause spring tides.The Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck is also very practical when travelling. It includes a pointer calendar and also a quick setting device which enables you to adjust the hour hand according to the desired time zone. To do that you only need to press the pushers plus and minus (they are located at 2 and 4 o'clock).Developed by Ulysse Nardin, the Moonstruck watch is available in limited edition. There are 500 pieces in platinum and another 500 pieces in 18ct. red gold .

Ulysse Nardin Monaco YS Maxi Marine DiverMonaco is getting extremely popular these days. First Hublot unveiled their new Classic Fusion Yacht Club de Monaco limited edition watch, and now 100 extremely lucky individuals have a chance to get this gorgeous DLC-coated Ulysse Nardin Monaco YS Maxi Marine Diver model. This new addition to UN’s Maxi Marine Diver Collection comes in a comparatively small 42.7 mm round case made of stainless steel.While most “black” watches usually made using a process called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), which is prone to occasional bumps and scratches, the Monaco YS Maxi Marine Diver gets its shiny black color thanks to DLC (Diamond-Like-Carbon) treatment. The thin film of carbon on the steel case is so strong you can’t scratch it with anything, but a real diamond.Well, of course, you can also hit it with a hummer, if there is an emergency.Just like a great number of recently unveiled Black-on-Black models, the watch features a dark grey luminous substance generously applied to its indexes and hour and minute hands made of 18-carat rose gold. The same material was employed to make indexes and numerals for the traditional diving scale.The watch also sports a number of ceramic elements, including the crown, folding clasp and their trademark inserts in the rubber strap.Just like the aforementioned Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Titanium chronometer, the YS Maxi Marine Diver is powered by the UN-26 caliber, which is based on the good old ETA 2892 automatic movement.I couldn’t find any info regarding the watch’s price, but I guess it is going to be around $20,000.
