Ulysse Nardin Stranger Watch Music Box

I will admit that when I first learned about the Ulysse Nardin Stranger watch earlier in 2013 (covered here on Forbes) I thought it was a bit silly.

Here is a little watch porn for you in the form of two new Maurice de Mauriac Chronograph Modern watch styles. I have covered the Chronograph Modern watches before but Maurice de Mauriac keeps coming out with upgrades and new styles. The first one here is a version of the Le Mans 53 in black with a case fitted alligator strap - really slick.
