Tellurium Manual
Jan 21, 2016,17:29 PM
Thanks to Windows 10, I was unable to use the CD furnished with my Trilogy Set to make a copy of the instructions. Fortunately, I made a hardcopy for myself years ago. The scanned 8.5"x11" format is better than the smaller instruction manual IMHO. PM me and I will send a pdf file. BTW, you may request manuals directly from Ulysse-Nardin.
I hope you enjoy your Tellurium! How about a wrist shot?

Ulysse Nardin Astronomical Watches set.
By: amanico : September 10th, 2014-01:59
I can't resist to the pleasure to share this picture coming from Ulysse Nardin and featuring the " Astronomical Set ". A picture I saved not a long time ago, which makes me dream each time I see it. A picture which drove me to work on a topic I will post ...
You may say I'm dreamer...

Yes Nico, these astronomical watches bring me...

happiness just by looking at them, especially the one with the ENAMEL dial of course !! The complications are too complicated for me to understand and even if I understand, too complicated for me to continue understanding how they work !! Cheers, Gordon
UN was really ahead if its time here....
By: Darren : September 10th, 2014-06:42
These days there are far more offerings that are at least somewhat similar to these watches, but when these were launched, my understanding is that there was nothing like it in the marketplace. Truly revolutionary. I would love to wear any of them. Darren...
For me..
By: WTA : September 10th, 2014-18:07

Thanks Nico. The hunger grows. The true definition of the grail.
By: Mitch K : September 10th, 2014-20:25
I have admired the set for so very long. I have tried to understand the working behind each of them and have failed miserably. More and more I appreciate the brilliance of Ludwig to conceive of these masterpieces and the understanding of their place in hi...
I was waiting for your feedback, Mitch. ;)
By: amanico : September 10th, 2014-22:45
I know your love and admiration for these ones. I can tell you that if I could get only one of these three, I would be very happy. The whole set being an impossible but delicious dream. As to understand these watches, their functions, no worries... Like a...
those are the non plus ultra
By: donizetti : September 13th, 2014-03:19
for me .... I could recently play with an Astrolabe (original YG version) and it is truly an impressive piece. One can always dream! Best Andreas
Three years with the Trilogy
By: bjacknot : December 13th, 2015-15:52
Thanks for posting these monumental pieces! I was fortunate enough to find an unworn set offered at auction about four years ago. I have yet to wear any of timepieces and I won't until I can confidently review each dial and have a thorough understanding o...
Bjacknot, thanks a lot for your owner's feedback!
By: amanico : December 13th, 2015-22:45
Finding an owner of this set is pretty challenging and rare. You achieved a dream for many of us. Congratulations. Now, I would have worn each of them since 2011! Thanks for confirming that they are pretty tough to masterize, in terms of astronomical comp...

Thank you for reminding us of these watches
By: cazalea : December 17th, 2015-06:03
I have had the chance to observe and touch several of these, but in talking with the vendor it became clear he had no idea what things they were displaying OR how to set them. Nor did I. Could this be the definition of fine modern art? Beautiful AND Incom...
...agreed it is art, but it is certainly comprehensible
By: bjacknot : December 17th, 2015-12:18
I would not regard these watches as incomprehensible. They are fantastic mechanical representations of how our solar system functions. This understanding has been developed over the past 300+ years, and then interpreted by Mr. Oechslin when he worked to c...
Wonderful pieces!
By: kolosstt : December 19th, 2015-23:24
Nicely put. Thank you very much for sharing your photos! Kind regards, Kolosstt
Completely unexpectedly, I got to inspect a set yesterday
By: cazalea : December 20th, 2015-10:25
and what an experience! I recall: - surprising density of the platinum watch in my hand - engrossing mystery of the dials at first glance - absolute beauty of the engraving on the movement and rotor - total shock that my pal located a new set Cazalea
Hope to see these soon, as these are inspirational horological art!!!
By: Tim Jackson : January 5th, 2016-12:17
This was UN at it's best IMHO, Rolf's legacy is insured with this contribution to the mechanical astronomical watch world. The Trilogy set is it. Cazalea, we need to spend an evening over dinner and vino, and I can explain each of these amazing watches to...
99 [nt]

By precious metal...
By: bjacknot : January 6th, 2016-21:09
...there were 100 Trilogy sets made in PT, and 100 in YG and possibly 100 in RG. Have a look at the case back in my photos posted above. I am not certain why you thought each precious metal was for 99 sets. Also individual watches were manufactured in the...
You are correct...there were only 99 Trilogy sets in PT
By: bjacknot : January 19th, 2016-15:41
I received confirmation from UN today that there were 99 Trilogy sets in PT. Although the case backs are stamped XX/100, there were 99 sets made. This seems strange to me, but I have seen other Trilogy sets (#23 and #56) with the same XX/100 on their case...
Correct my Correction: 100 Trilogy Sets is Correct
By: bjacknot : January 21st, 2016-13:46
There are 100 Trilogy LE sets. If you purchased the Tellurium separately then the PT LE of this timepiece was produced in 99 and this may hold true for the Astrolabium and the Planetarium when they were sold separately.
Possibly Incorrect...
By: bjacknot : January 21st, 2016-13:52
Argh! The Ulysse-Nardin website describes the Trilogy LE in PT produced in 99 sets on one page of the site and in 100 sets on another!

if you can email the pdf file to vic93marshall @ yahoo. com. tw (remove all spaces), that will be extremely helpful. I only got the watch for few days and am eager to set it correctly........
Trilogy of Time book?
By: Marcus Hanke : February 1st, 2016-00:03
Didn't you receive the hardcover book on the Trilogy with your set? It includes the setting instructions, as well a more thorough explanation of the not, it should be available directly from UN still, I think. Marcus
