Lot Essay

This watch is accompanied by its original Ulysse Nardin Bulletin de Marche and Ulysse Nardin wooden box.

The present example can be hooked up to an electrical timing device through its wooden box. The slide in the band to 6 o'clock turns on and off a small metal lever that makes a ticking sound each second. Two small metal receptor pins make a circuit with the watch and send the sound to an electrical receiver and ultimately out to the side of the box where an electrical cord can plug in to the timing device.
