Your Opinions, Please: Ulysse Nardin v. Glashutte v. Cartier

[BondiBacsi]

Turning to the esteemed group in this forum for a random moment of advice, as I'm faced with a simple timepiece decision. If you had $10,000 to spend on a fine men's timepiece and could only choose from among these items ...

• Ulysse Nardin (45MM Marine Chronometer Manufacture)
• Glashutte (44MM Senator Observer)
• Cartier (42MM Cartier Calibre)

... which would get your vote? I'm drawn to each of them for very different reasons, whether by virtue of brand heritage, design & styling, or quality of movement, and I'm sure any would represent a fine piece. On which would you stake your claim?

I think Glashutte makes some of the finest watches in the world and are of the same caliber as Jaeger-LeCoultre, so I'd vote for them. Ulysse Nardin's, and Cartier's, aesthetics are lacking to me.

All good choices, but of these three, I'd go with the Glashutte.

The third vote for the Glashutte.
