Marine Chronometer

Ulysse Nardin is a Swiss Maison of watchmakers & artisans disrupting Haute Horlogerie since 1846. This strong heritage lives across four collections: Freak, Blast, Marine and Diver with wild & unconventional design, pioneering technology & unmatched craftsmanship. A maverick, a visionary, a pioneer. Ulysse Nardin, the founder of the Manufacture, was all three. From the mountains of Le Locle, where the Manufacture stays anchored today, Ulysse Nardin combined his passion for ocean exploration and horological excellence to create the world’s most awarded and precise marine chronometers. Twisting the boundaries of watchmaking with innovative technologies and disruptive materials, challenging horology conventions, combining creative and mechanical experimentation. Exploring the impossible has always been at the core of Ulysse Nardin. This singular expression in Haute Horlogerie was epitomized in 2001 with the launch of the first and only watch with no dial, no crown and no hands, aptly named the Freak. A revolutionary icon which also ushered silicon into watchmaking, paving the way for incredible precision and reliability, across the industry. This creative freedom is fueled by the artisans of Ulysse Nardin. Combining almost 180 years of in-house mechanical and artistic savoir-faire, they stand for the singularity of their craft and defend sustainable values. Ulysse Nardin and sister Maison Girard-Perregaux form an independent collective of high horology Manufactures, named Sowind Group SA. The collective was awarded by Deloitte as one of Switzerland’s Best Managed Companies of 2024.
