His marine chronometers earned a reputation for precision at a time when the exact measurement of time was essential for navigation. This specialty remained at the heart of the company’s history for a long time. More than a century after its inception, however, the brand set out on new paths: in 2001, the “Freak” unveiled an unconventional mechanical architecture that incorporated silicon. Combining navigational instruments with bold watchmaking innovations, Ulysse Nardin has forged an identity in which tradition never precludes experimentation. Specific Terms of Sale: Please note that all watches are sold “as is.” No warranty is provided regarding the watch’s operating condition; therefore, a service is recommended.
