Since 1846, the powerful movement of the ocean has inspired Ulysse Nardin in its singular quest: the constant innovation of mechanical timepieces.
Without Rolf W. Schnyder in the early 1980s, who knows what would have become of Ulysse Nardin ? Following the quartz crisis, which also had serious repercussions for our competitors, there were difficult times for the traditional brand. A visionary entrepreneur, Schnyder’s purchase of the Ulysse Nardin brand heralded a new sense of innovation which pervaded Ulysse Nardin after 1983. Clear evidence of this can be seen in the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei in 1985, the Planetarium Nicolaus Copernicus 1988, the Tellurium Johannes Kepler 1992 or the Perpetual Ludwig 1996, a hitherto unparalleled perpetual calendar. These pieces are accepted as milestones in watchmaking.
Getting off to a good start. This is precisely the purpose of this groundbreaking regatta chronograph – with a patent to prove it – equipped with a sweep countdown timer that can be set from 1 to 10 minutes. Victory comes down to those crucial minutes before the starting gun goes off while maneuvering to cross starting line with optimal positioning and perfect timing. Following the countdown, the bi-directional seconds hand starts moving in a clockwise direction and begins timing the race. Clear, intuitive and accurate functionality from Ulysse Nardin, with the support of Artemis Racing, the company’s official partner for the 35th America's Cup.
The reputation of Ulysse Nardin has always been intimately connected with its achievements in the development of the marine chronometer. In its 171-year history, the Swiss watchmaker has been honored with more than 4300 first prizes and 18 gold medals at world fairs and international exhibitions. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Ulysse Nardin marine chronometers equipped over 50 navies on all five continents.
Forever inventive, the manufacturer remains steadfast in its pioneering precision of fusing bold innovation with undeniable style.
Innovation remains embedded in the Ulysse Nardin culture, often expressed through breakthrough achievements and the proactive use of new materials, like Silicium.
