Anchors Away: Ulysse Nardin Makes The Anchor Escapement Viable For The Wristwatch
Ulysse Nardin’s main introduction for Baselworld was not a watch. It was a component.

Okay, so if you know me, you also know that I am a fan of Nomos. And it’s not hard to define why, including the fact that Nomos watches are the biggest bang for the buck in our industry. I defy any brand anywhere to provide the consumer with more watch for the money than Nomos!
