SIHH 2019 - Ulysse Nardin Skeleton X (Hands-On, Specs & Price)
First introduced in 2016, the Executive Skeleton Tourbillon was an audacious combination of classic watchmaking codes with a hyper-modern, sporty and radically skeletonised dial. It also marked the brand's first attempt to position its products at more competitive prices and play to a younger, slightly hipper crowd. Priced at CHF 38,000 back in 2016, the good news for fans of the brand is that UN has taken the skeletonisation to even sportier terrain, jettisoned the tourbillon and contained the price to about a third of its predecessor – starting at USD 17,500. Meet the new Skeleton X with its highly contemporary aesthetics and openworked movement.Next generation material Carbonium GoldThe shape of the Skeleton X case has been totally revisited and downsized, abandoning the round 45mm case of its precursor to a more stylised, more elongated case shape with a 42mm diameter.?

Combining robustness with casual elegance, these watches effortlessly adapt to any occasion, from business attire to a weekend at the beach.

It’s a one-watch collection that gets the job done during the week and at weekends. Sensibly sized, discreet and sleek, colourful if you want, but also robust enough for leisure activities and powered by modern automatic movements. For 90% of the occasion
