Ulysse Nardin is an independent manufacturer producing high-end timepieces for freedom-seeking explorers.
Founded in 1846 by Ulysse Nardin, the company's reputation stems from its connection with the sea: its shipboard marine chronometers are among the award-winning and most reliable designs ever created.
A pioneer in innovative technologies and the use of high-tech materials such as silicon, Ulysse Nardin is one of the few integrated manufacturers with the in-house expertise to produce its own high-precision components and movements. In 2001, the Maison launched its first Freak watch, which changed the face of contemporary watchmaking.
Today, in the Swiss towns of Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds, Ulysse Nardin is still committed to pursuing perfect watchmaking and has launched four series: Freak, Blast, Diver and Marine.
As of 2022, Ulysse Nardin and sister brand Maison Girard-Perregaux have formed an independent group of haute horlogerie manufacturers.
