Ulysse Nardin Watches

About Ulysse Nardin Watches

Before establishing his namesake brand in 1846, Ulysse Nardin studied to be a watchmaker specializing in complications. In addition, Nardin noted the rise in sea and intercontinental exploration, which demanded precise marine and pocket chronometers. Thus, he set a vision for his company, one that he would bring to fruition. The Ulysse Nardin brand has built a reputation for its longstanding history in the production of navigational timepieces for both civilian and military use.

The Neuchâtel Observatory estimated that Ulysse Nardin had over 4,000 watchmaking awards to its name by the mid-1970s. In 1985, the company developed the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, a complex astronomical watch that secured Ulysse Nardin a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The brand has not lost momentum or its pioneering spirit in the new millennium, developing a series of revolutionary watches throughout the early 2000s, and taking home the Tourbillon Watch Prize at the illustrious GPHG in 2015 with the Ulysse Anchor Tourbillon. The model is most notable for its silicon escapement, which took eight years of research and development to create. To this day, Ulysse Nardin remains true to its maritime roots and its steadfast commitment to cutting-edge innovations.
