Today, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck watch is back, now known as the Ulysse Nardin Blast Moonstruck. The Moonstruck is completely redesigned, more complicated, more nuanced, and it's great because it's a really cool watch, but it's perfect for all-day, year-round wear. There's a lot to unpack.
Over the past few years, dominated by mind-numbing vintage re-releases and regurgitated 50th-anniversary releases, I suddenly realized that I hadn't experienced a fairly common feeling when I got naughty into modern luxury watches in the late When the crazy Harry Winston Opus and Urwerk and Ulysse Nardin Freak watches were developed and launched. These are all amazing videos that take me into the miniature world of huge engineering challenges.
