Ulysse Nardin 18k Gold Sonata Ref 676.88 Cathedral Alarm Watch The Ulysse Nardin Sonata isn’t just a watch with an alarm complication…. it's a different watch from any other wristwatch you’ve ever seen!Originally debuted in 2003, the alarm can be set to the minute, meaning to any time in a 24 hour day. Alarm watches that can be set to a specific hour and minute are very much the exception to the rule and an impressive feat considering most alarm watches have a 12 hour window.The styling for the Sonata is admittedly polarizing, but ref. 676.88 is by far the most restrained and sober iteration of this watch and its less flashy appearance coupled to its ease of use and its technical sophistication make it one of the most interesting alarm watches in the market today.Also important is the cathedral gong alarm chime…very few, actually almost no alarm watches chime on a cathedral gong, which is a wire gong generally used only in sonneries and repeaters. In addition to the alarm function, there's a countdown indicator showing approximate elapsed time until the alarm sounds, as well as a dual timezone function.The Sonata is without a doubt a technically fascinating watch in terms of design and complication, if still quite different and off the beaten path it’s decidedly classy.The watch is pre-owned but in spectacular condition, devoid of scratches Knicks or dents and the 18K gold case is just as shinny and clean as when it was new. The watch no longer has the presentation box. Details & MeasurementsCalibre: UN 067Serial: 518Diameter excluding crown: 43mmStrap: Original Black Leather24hr Accuracy Reading: +/- 0 Seconds
