Waiting can be such a drag… but not with this Hermès that helps you find joy in waiting, keeping your eyes on L’Heure Impatiente. We go hands-on with this alarm watch with proper good manners, a respectable mechanical pedigree and a design that is both elegant and original.
While not new, the concept of the Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata still is captivating, as being one of the few alarm watches on the market, and one with quite some great features. Indeed, the pièce de resistance is the chiming system of this watch, as you’ll get your alarm chiming with a cathedral gong (something usually reserved to super-high-end minute repeaters). Previously introduced in a very “Marine” style, the Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata is now unveiled in a much subtler version for 2017, and with a steel option.
The concept of the Sonata by Ulysse Nardin is not new, but still, you’ll see later in this article, it’s a really captivating concept. Several watches have been created with the Sonata complication, however, most of them, even if mechanically attractive, were bold, highly sportive and masculine watches.

Here is the Ulysse Nardin Classic Sonata, a complex and unique watch, with a melodic cathedral gong for tis alarm complication.
