Ulysse Nardin Pocket Watch

Sure, Analog:Shift is a business built around the love of watches — mostly mechanical watches.  But, in essence, it’s our love for timepieces and timekeeping in general that are the common themes throughout the items we procure. And that includes the love of clocks in general — pocket watches, travel clocks and more.  After all, in the couple hundred years before the First World War, personal timekeeping was all about the pocket watch, and before that, it was larger clocks that were front and center, horologically. We still believe a good clock — especially one that hails from the best design maison — deserves a place in any watch lover’s collection. This particular piece is a Ulysse Nardin pocket watch that features all the elements we hope to see on high quality collectible pieces. A beautifully patinaed dial is set with printed Arabic numerals and decorated with subsidiary seconds at 6 o'clock. Perhaps nicest of all is the incredible handset on this piece with its particularly unique profile.  To tie the package to a close, this Ulysse Nardin comes with its original packaging which adds a bit to the provenance and also is just fun to examine as lovers of history and collecting in general.
