Ulysse Nardin is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer based in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchâtel .

Story 

Léonard Frédéric Nardin (* 1792) was the family's first watchmaker . His son Ulysse (1823–1876) founded a watch factory in Le Locle, Switzerland, in 1846. After the sudden death of its founder, under the leadership of his son Paul David, who was not yet 20 years old, the factory specialized, among other things, in marine chronometers , for which they received numerous awards.

From 1906, the United States Naval Observatory purchased deck clocks and pocket watches from Ulysse Nardin until 1942, when Switzerland was isolated from the surrounding occupied states. Starting in 1940, these watches were copied by the American company Hamilton and further developed using industrial methods.

The original factory produced pocket watches with complications such as calendars , moon phases , perpetual calendars , alarms , and striking mechanisms . Around 1900, approximately 300 employees worked at the factory. Some of the watches from this period are on display at the Le Locle Watch Museum .

For the 1936 Summer Olympics, a stainless steel men's wristwatch with a chronograph and automatic winding mechanism was launched.

In 1982 and 1983, the company was close to bankruptcy . Together with other investors, the Swiss Rolf W. Schnyder , who had previously built factories for (quartz) watch parts in Malaysia, took over the dilapidated company, which still employed only two people. Numerous historically and artistically valuable pieces from the company's own collection had disappeared or been stolen. Within just a few years, Schnyder succeeded in bringing the "Ulysse Nardin" brand back into the ranks of the top Swiss watch manufacturers. A key factor in the company's success was Schnyder's partner and friend, the watch designer Ludwig Oechslin .

On April 14, 2011, Schnyder died unexpectedly after a brief illness. "Thanks to the succession plan already in place, operational management can be continued by the current members of the management team without interruption and in the spirit of Rolf W. Schnyder," the company announced the day after his death.

In 2014, Ulysse Nardin was sold to the French luxury goods group Kering (formerly PPR).
