Ulysse Nardin

Le Locle, Switzerland

Established in 1846 in Le Locle, Ulysse Nardin swiftly garnered a distinguished reputation for its meticulously precise marine chronometers, which are utilised by numerous navies across the globe. Its maritime heritage remains central to the brand’s identity. Ulysse Nardin is one of the most experimental watchmakers and has set industry benchmarks since the 1980s by using innovative materials such as silicon in its timepiece movements. Notable models include the Marine collection, inspired by historic chronometers; the Freak, which caused a sensation in 2001 as the first wristwatch without a dial or hands, displaying the time via a rotating movement; and the Diver, a modern professional dive watch. Ulysse Nardin represents a synthesis of maritime history, avant-garde technology, and haute horlogerie.

The first Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3700/1A from 1976.
