Founded in 1846 by Ulysse Nardin, the brand, carries on his entrepreneurial spirit, always thinking about the next development. Establishing the business in his birthplace of Le Locle, Switzerland, situated in the home to the specialized watchmaking industry, Ulysse Nardin had his sights set on a sparkling horizon. He took note of the rising demand for marine and pocket chronometers, and so began Ulysse Nardin's leap into nautical navigation. In the 1870s, navies and international shipping companies became equipped with Ulysse Nardin marine deck chronometers. Over decades, Ulysse Nardin secured 4,300-plus watchmaking awards. Yet, it was in 1983 when things became even more interesting. Rolf W. Schnyder took over the company and joined forces with Dr. Ludwig Oechslin; together they formed a collaboration crowned with monumental achievements. Some of the most notable accomplishments include the introduction of iconic timepieces like the 1996 Perpetual Calendar, where the calendar can be set forward and backward with ease and is the root of this timepiece family; and the 2001 Freak, which tells time by its movement, not by its hands. The Freak set the stage for Ulysse Nardin's presentation of novel mechanisms. And, it is the Marine collection that anchors Ulysse Nardin's past to the ocean while casting its seafaring skills on today's exemplary Marine Diver and Marine Chronometer. Other cutting-edge advancements comprise Ulysse Nardin being the first watchmaker to incorporate the use of silicium technology, and the development of groundbreaking movements such as the Dual Ulysse escapement, Ulysse Anchor and the UlyChoc shock absorber. Ulysse Nardin will flow forward, stretching the limits of design, engineering and technology, and surprising watch enthusiasts around the globe. From 2014, Ulysse Nardin is part of the Kering Group, a world leader in apparel and accessories which develops an ensemble of powerful Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle brands.
