Ulysse Nardin Watches

Built on Precision

Ulysse Nardin founded his watch company in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1846. From the start, the brand focused on accuracy using high-precision regulators to calibrate its complicated watches and pocket chronometers. These navigational tools soon became a common sight on global shipping marine decks, as their exacting efficiency helped sailors move freight in t.mes with demanding schedules. By 1975 the company had garnered more than 4,000 certificates of excellence in the field of performance, according to the esteemed Neuchâtel Observatory. The Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, released in the 1980s, further built on this legacy when the t.mes piece was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most functional watch given its 21 distinct complications.

Independence and Innovation

Ulysse Nardin has created an unprecedented number of exclusive calibers. The company’s artisans developed and conceived these movements internally, which highlights a commitment to independent manufacturing and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship. One of these innovations is the UlyChoc, its first self-winding base caliber. This innovative mechanism was first in the watch industry to use silicon components. In 2006, the company continued its path of innovation by developing the UN-334, the first self-winding base caliber entirely manufactured and conceived in-house.

Ulysse Nardin is recognized for its innovation and design and has received numerous certifications from prestigious institutions in the world of haute horology. These include the Tourbillon Watch Prize at the 15th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and the only Prix d’Honneur granted at the Swiss National Exhibition in Lausanne.

Cutting-edge Design

The wide variety of men’s and women’s Ulysse Nardin t.mes pieces include the Executive Dual t.mes collects ion, which features a fixed ceramic bezel and durable rubber strap. Meanwhile the line with a scratch-resistant sapphire dial is ideal for travel. The range features a perpetual calendar and second t.mes zone and the Caprice series, with a cushion-shaped case and fixed diamond-set bezels, adds a touch of glamour. Water resistant up to 1,000 feet, the brand’s Diver series offers a robust option for active wearers. Other lines, including the Freak and Classico, sit alongside Ulysse Nardin’s Limited Edition sets with unique features including genuine enamel cloisonné dials, extended seven-day power reserves, and a flying tourbillon.
