Founded in 1846 in Le Locle by Ulysse Nardin, the brand became a benchmark for marine chronometers—by the 19th century, its timekeepers were used by over 50 navies, and it secured over 4,300 awards, including 18 gold medals for chronometry from Neuchâtel observatory studies :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
Revived in 1983 by Rolf Schnyder and watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin, Ulysse Nardin introduced its groundbreaking “Trilogy of Time” (Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, Planetarium Copernicus, Tellurium Johannes Kepler) and innovations like the GMT± Perpetual (1999) and first perpetual calendar adjustable both ways via the crown (1996) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
The launch of the Freak in 2001 revolutionised watchmaking—eliminating the dial, hands, and crown, it featured the first silicon Dual Direct escapement. In 2007, DiamonSil (diamond‑coated silicon) removed lubrication from the escapement, and the Innovision 2 in 2017 introduced ten patented innovations—including sapphire‑coated silicon bridges, grinder winding mechanism and 24‑karat gold wheels :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
