As authoritative as a steel-colored sea during a storm, the new Ulysse Nardin Black Sea Chronograph offers a commanding presence and the unfaltering reliability expected from master diver watchmakers. Below the water's surface or on solid ground, this timepiece guides its wearers with exacting precision and endurance.

Steering divers to depths of 200 meters and sporting a rubberized screw crown for added water-resistance, the Black Sea Chronograph features Superluminova on the dial for sharp, luminescent visibility in the darkest of places. Another beneficial component is the unidirectional turning bezel.
Enhancing its ability to withstand the most challenging environments are the materials from which it is constructed. Its 45.8 mm diameter case is made from stainless steel coated with rubber and finished with a sapphire glass case back. Its buckle, as well as other segments of the watch, is crafted from ceramic, while its rubber strap brings comfort and flexibility.
Black Sea Chronograph also presents a special personalized chronograph seconds hand adorned with the iconic Ulysse Nardin anchor. The permanent seconds indicator is at the 3 o'clock position, while 9 o'clock marks the 30 minutes counter. The date is located at 4 o'clock, and 6 o'clock indicates a 12-hour counter detailed with a red and blue hand. Rubberized pushers offer ease when a hurried start or stop function is necessary.

Complementing its functionality and strength is its styling. Monochromatic in rich black with accents of blue and red, Black Sea Chronograph is masculine, as it is elegant. It is the ideal timepiece to accompany the bespoke and diving suit, alike. Black Sea Chronograph is for the man who counts the hours before he can return to the sea.

WORLDTEMPUS - 7 March 2012

It hasn't been quite a year since Rolf Schnyder so suddenly passed away, leaving his brand Ulysse Nardin in the hands of the man that he had chosen to become his successor. Patrik Hoffmann had been in charge of the brand's business in the United States for more than a decade. Now he has come home to Switzerland to fill some big shoes - and he has definitely done that.
Caliber 118
Yesterday was a big day for Hoffmann, and indeed for the entire team at Ulysse Nardin. This brand, no stranger to big announcements, introduced the world to Caliber UN-118, the first full in-house manufacture movement from Ulysse Nardin. In 2006, Schnyder had already called the world's specialized press together to witness the brand's first steps in the direction, but nothing more than a limited edition with a few hundred pieces of Caliber 160 were ever madnufactured.
"This marks a new era for Ulysse Nardin," Hoffmann said, referencing the fact that this new caliber, whose development was begun under Schnyder, can be produced in an industrial way, meaning in the thousands of pieces per year. This is new for Ulysse Nardin, who currently only makes about 25 percent of the movements it uses in its approximate 25,000 watches per year. The brand's goal is to be making about 70 percent of its own movements within the next couple years. Naturally, this is a direct reaction to the coming scarcity of available ETA movements, but it is also a point of pride with the company, who is justifiably considered one of the biggest innovators in modern watchmaking. "We need in-house substance," said technical director Pierre Gygax in concurrence.

Production
All of Caliber UN-118, including the entire escapement, is manufactured in Ulysse Nardin's La Chaux-de-Fonds facility. The escapement comprises a silicon hairspring, DIAMonSIL pallet lever and escape wheel, and an in-house inertia-regulated balance wheel. As exceptional as this is, it is perhaps even more exceptional to note that the brand has set up an entire semi-automated assembly in the factory, which allows the manufacture to be quickly accomplished with greater precision. It took the brand 12 years and investments totaling around 80 million Swiss francs to get here, but Ulysse Nardin is certainly on the way to becoming one of the "big" brands.
The caliber is currently being introduced in the manufacture's first "marine chronometer" in at least one hundred years - except that this one is expressly created for the wrist. The extremely attractive automatic movement boasts 60 hours of power reserve, subsidiary direct seconds, and a traditional date window at 6 o'clock, which can be set both forward and backward. The movement is certified by the C.O.S.C., and the entire watch it is housed in comes with a certificate for Ulysse Nardin's own new in-house certification.

Marine Chronometer
This caliber is destined to become the new base caliber for Ulysse Nardin and is being introduced at Baselworld within a 45 mm gold watch complete with a grand feu enamel dial made by Ulysse Nardin's subsidiary dial maker Donze Cadrans and limited to just 350 pieces. It is also available in a titanium-and-gold version as well as a titanium-and-steel variation. The latter is the entry level piece and will retail for just 9,800 Swiss francs.

This high tech perpetual calendar with a dual time function and the legendary in-house developed and manufactured self-winding movement is the most consumer friendly perpetual calendar ever produced and has passed the tests of time.

The striking aesthetic of Blue Toro combines modern materials with a timeless dial design that inspired its name.
The bezel and pushers are made in ceramic. The squeletted hands permit easy reading of all calendar functions and the sapphire caseback allows to observe the mechanics of time.
Limited to 99 pieces, „Blue Toro" Limited Edition is available in Ulysse Nardin Boutiques, exclusively.
• The only perpetual calendar that adjusts forward and backward in seconds over the quick corrector position of a single crown, even in the year 2100.
• The hour hand is adjusted instantly to a new local time with pushers (+) or (-) without taking the watch off the wrist or interfering with its time keeping.
• The arrow keeps track of one's home or reference time.
• The oversized date, the day, the month and the year change instantly forward or backward when the hour hand is moved to a new local time across the dateline with pushers (+) or (-).
• The 22 ct gold rotor ensures that the watch is automatically wound with a power reserve of 45 hours.

Chronometer Certificate C.O.S.C.
The Perpetual GMT± undergoes the rigorous tests of the Swiss Official Chronometer Control, certifying to the reliability and accuracy of this exceptional timepiece.

SINGAPOUR :
Wong Mei Ling, managing director (Singapore) of The Hour Glass One of the most sought-after timepieces this summer is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. It is one sports chronograph that needs no introduction. And in the new everose gold version enhanced with a black monobloc cerachrom bezel, the new Daytona will not only appeal to men, but women too. Ditto for Patek Philippe Ref. 5270 - a fi ne example of Patek's ability to create what is arguably the world's fi nest perpetual calendar chronograph. The fl ared lugs on this new execution lend it a vintage, old school look. As for something sportier, the Hublot King Power Oceanographic 4000 is the piece du jour. A powerful piece, it gives the wearer a natural state of strength and confidence.

Ong Ban, chief executive officer, Sincere Watch Limited Iconic models like the Rolex Explorer and Patek Philippe's perpetual chronographs have been relaunched with even greater product enhancements, while retaining all heritage attributes. On the technical aspect, the level on workmanship in complicated movements has been raised another few bars, particularly in pieces from Franck Muller. Which is why generally, horological fans are delighted with the improvement in the treatment of details of pieces this year. That also explains why the Patek Philippe Ref. 5270, Franck Muller Giga Tourbillon and Rolex Yachtmaster II in rose gold/steel rank among the top pieces this summer.
Kelvin Lim, general manager, Dickson Watch & Jewellery Most customers preferred something that is classic or more lasting, especially when many companies decided to go back to basics to meet the market demand, particularly from Asia. And the brands' tradition and legacy are emphasised too. For us, Chopard Happy Sport continues to dominate the ladies' market. Women fi nd the free-fl owing diamonds on the dial memorable and fun - a huge draw for them. Omega and Rolex are perennial favourites too: the former for its Constellation - its unique claws and bezel make it one of the most visible status watches in the Asia - and the latter for its Lady Datejust. Honestly, if the Rolex Lady Datejust were a brand by itself, it would probably be one of the largest selling brands in the world.

USA :
Denis Boulle, de Boulle, (Dallas, Texas): Our Patek Philippe and Rolex sales continue to thrive and grow. Sales of some of our other lines are also continuing to grow. It appears that in uncertain times people are continuing to purchase fi ne quality watches for the same reasons they are investing in diamonds and gold. We believe our wealthier clients can justify spending money on these items since they see that it has long term potential to retain and grow in value in these uncertain times. The three top watches this summer were the Patek Philippe 5960p in platinum, the Rolex steel Submariner and the Breguet Marine.
Robin Levinson, Levinson Jewelers (Fort Lauderdale, Floride): the bestselling watches this year are IWC, Panerai always and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Franck Muller has been selling well for women and men and Hermes, which is new for us, is flying out the door. The three top watches for the summer were: the IWC Yacht Club rose gold with the anthracite dial. Large size, fi ts fl at to the wrist and the color combo of the dial and rose gold is awesome; the Franck Muller rose gold Mariner with black dial and blue numbers; and the Hermes ladies Cape Cod double tour strap numbers; and the diamonds.
Jeremy Oster, Oster Jewelers (Denver, Colorado): This year Audemars Piguet, Ulysse Nardin and Hublot are our leading brands. This is not surprising as all three of these brands are firmly established top-tier manufacturers and each has a clearand well-defi ned identity which has been consistent. Additionally, each of the three brands has been proven to the consumer over a great many years and has cultivated a passionate following amongst collectors. We are also seeing that our customers are giving more thought to their purchases than ever before and doing more research.
Greg Simonian, Westime (Los Angeles, Californie): The top three selling watches of 2011 so far, in alphabetical order, are: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off shore; Hublot Big Bang; and Richard Mille RM 011.

ITALY :
Marco Dragoni, Great Master of Time (Milan and Porto Cervo) : Harry Winston is clearly the leader in our two points of sale, with men opting for the Z6 or the Ocean, and women for the Premier collection. In both Milan and Porto Cervo, the J12 by Chanel comes next, and particularly the new Chromatic model. The more international clientele on the island of Sardinia tends to favour largesize but not necessarily classic models, such as pieces by Urwerk that especially attract American customers. In Milan, connoisseurs greatly appreciate FP Journe.
Fabio Bertini, Pisa Orologeria (Milan) : Our company off ers only high-end brands, with sales clearly dominated by Patek Philippe and Rolex. In periods of crisis, customers tend to turn to safe long-term investments. Behind these champions comes a group of frontrunners composed of Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Panerai and Vacheron Constantin. The last quarter was clearly driven by Chinese customers, who tend to favour gold watches.
Nino Rapisarda, Orologeria Rapisarda (Catania and Taormina) : While the extreme high-end segment is in greatest demand among the Russian customers in our boutique, who primarily focus on Cartier for women and Ulysse Nardin for men, the segment just below features IWC (chronographs and the Portofi no collection) vying with Omega (Seamaster and Speedmaster), Chanel (the J12 models) and Panerai. Generally speaking, the average price of the medium-range segment has dropped, with Longines (Heritage and HydroConquest) and Hamilton (Jazzmaster) asserting themselves bly.

Rolf W. Schnyder, CEO of the Swiss watch manufacturer Ulysse Nardin, has unexpectedly passed away on 14th April 2011 after a short illness. "With the passing of Rolf W. Schnyder, the watchmaking industry has lost one of its greatest visionaries, while Ulysse Nardin has lost an important source of innovation for the firm. We are profoundly moved and distraught at this sudden loss. Our full sympathies are with his wife and his three children, to whom we would like to express our sincere condolences," said Susanne Hurni, press officer and head of media relations at Ulysse Nardin. Because a succession plan was already in place, the operational running of the business by the current members of management can be kept going without interruption, and continued in the spirit of Rolf W. Schnyder's vision.

Rolf W. Schnyder had acquired the family firm Ulysse Nardin in 1983, and since that time held the role of president and CEO at the helm of the manufacturer with its wealth of tradition. Under his leadership, Ulysse Nardin rose once more to the top of the mechanical watchmaking sector, with numerous innovations such as the first astronomical wrist watches.

WORLDTEMPUS— 3 June 2010
To celebrate twenty years of his company last year, Christophe Claret decided to present a very special watch outside of his normal range of activities: the DualTow was the first watch to officially carry his own name. Today, the watchmaking entrepreneur announced that he will make one watch under his own name every year and that it will be sold through his own distribution network. From here on out, the DualTow will be regarded as the watch that kicked off Claret's own brand, freeing it from the constrictive role of "anniversary watch."
Limited to just a couple dozen pieces per year, Claret's watches will certainly be the apple of any collector's eye. The 490,000 Swiss franc price tag for the DualTow and that of 540,000 for the Night Eagle—the evolution unveiled this past spring—have established the positioning of this mini-brand. Prices such as these have been fairly well axed throughout the industry since the economic crisis began in late 2008. Claret finds them totally legitimate for his own products, however, since his work forms the base for dozens of calibers just as innovative and complex for well-known names such as Ulysse Nardin, Jean Dunand, and Guy Ellia. The tourbillon that is present in all of his movements is, for example, the base of the least complicated movement that his company manufactures.

"Of the five movements presently in development here, three are dedicated to my own brand," Claret announced. "And like all the calibers invented within these walls, they will contain functions that have never been seen before in horology." To ensure sales, he has retained the services of Phil Ogle, an expert experienced in the distribution of haute horlogerie whose goal is to open markets such as France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Despite debuting the Dual Tow and its evolutions in the midst of the global economic crisis, they have meanwhile found their audiences. Claret described having sold two per month on average.

To achieve his unusual production needs, Claret has invented tools that he never ceases to improve. In fact, a few machines in the watch industry did not exist at all until he enlisted the aid of certain suppliers to make what he had in mind. His Flashcut Laser, which can cut sapphire, allows him to completely master all of the operations needed to design and manufacture modern complicated calibers. He recently purchased a CNC machine with 16 axes—an absolute record—to take its place of honor within his four walls. At a price exceeding one million Swiss francs, it was two years before this colossal piece of technology could be put into production in his Le Locle-based factory.

Like the majority of movement suppliers in the watch industry, Claret has had to deal with a decline in orders. He has not hidden the fact that his factory is also on short shifts; he has spent this time refining his catalogue of new calibers and optimizing his production processes so as to be ready for the day when business returns to normal. "Some determined watchmakers have had the task of creating a THF - Test, homologation, fiabilite - workshops with protocols of tests for the approval of the new movements and current production," he says. "Some apparatus have been specially developed for testing buttons and pushers, evaluating shock resistance, gravity, and water resistance. These have been used to analyze all the different tests known to watchmaking like the C.O.S.C., Qualite Fleurier, and Chronofiable and to take the most pertinent elements from them."

WORLDTEMPUS - 30 decembre 2009

Suscitant le rêve, enflammant le desir, et souvent chere, voire hors de prix, la montre incarne l'objet irrationnel. Et ce rôle devient son essence même puisque notre temps lui demande d'abord d'exprimer une personnalite, des goûts et des valeurs avant de donner l'heure - un rôle pleinement assume par la myriade d'appareils technologiques pointus qui nous entourent desormais.
En 2009, plusieurs horlogers ou marques ont decide - sciemment ou non puisqu'il faut deux ans en moyenne pour developper et presenter une montre - de faire un pied de nez a un contexte economique plombe. Ils ont fait ce qu'on attend d'eux, c'est-a-dire donner un sens et un visage au futur. En pionniers, ils ont pointe de nouveaux caps ou repense des classiques. Des modeles fascinants, novateurs, curieux et parfois ephemeres ont ete mis sur le devant de la scene.

 When Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum included enamel works in its list of collections, the Ulysse Nardin "Temple of Heaven" enamel cloisonne watch was awarded the honor of being the first ever chosen watch of collection at the Museum, and would be permanently kept therein. The timepiece received the grand honor for its wondrous handicraft in its artistically perfect representation of the Temple of Heaven, the sign for China throughout history. Today, Ulysse Nardin is honored to hold a grand ceremony of watch presentation at Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum, a World Cultural Heritage that is closely protected. General Manager of Ulysse Nardin (Greater China) Mr. Danny Yen presented a "Temple of Heaven" watch to Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum for posterity to admire. The "Temple of Heaven" cloisonne dial of the watch that records an important phase of China's ancient history will be kept permanently at the museum.

"Enamel cloisonne" carries great value for collection and as heirloom, and with its intricate techniques and its dependence on master craftsmen's experience, the craft gradually came onto the brink of extinction, and became a precious one that needed careful protection.
The Old Palace of Qing in Shenyang, the site on which now stands Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum, was founded in 1625, and was the principal place for administrative and state purposes of the Qing dynasty before it moved on into the mainland (past Shanhaiguan). Huang Taiji, the second emperor of the Qing dynasty, came to the throne in the Palace, and changed the name of his dynasty from "Jin" to "Qing". After the conversion of the old palace into a museum, a lot of invaluable Chinese artistic masterpieces were collected herein, while the Ulysse Nardin watch became the first ever top-tier wristwatch brand to be chosen by the Museum as an item of collection for its crystallization of history and craftsmanship.

The three-month "Ulysse Nardin Enamel Cloisonne Exhibition Tour" was first held in Macaw, Hong Kong, Xi'an, Taiyuan, and Shenyang, and then to Dalian, Harbin, Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming, and Taiwan. China's economy has been growing fast in recent years, and its population is becoming increasingly affluent. Seeing its opportunity, ULYSSE NARDIN opened its first sales office in Xi'an in 2004, which is dedicated to the development of the Chinese premium watch market. Ulysse Nardin opened its first flagship store at "Bund 18" of Shanghai, a place where all the famous wristwatch brands vie for the spotlight, in November 2006.
So far, Ulysse Nardin has set up 21 sales offices in prestigious watch trading places all over China, covering Shanghai, Beijing, Dalian, Harbin, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Kunming, Nanchang, Changhsha, Hangzhou, Datong, Shenyang, Taiyuan, Wuhan and Tangshan. As the demand for premium wristwatches of the Chinese population ever growing, China has become a market with remarkable potential for Ulysse Nardin.

Enamel watches were hugely popular in the 1960s. Enamel cloisonne watches, in particular, enjoyed the highest esteem among watch lovers. The mere dial of a single enamel cloisonne watch requires more than 500 mms of gold string, which is less than 0.06 mm in diameter and is fixed on the dial to outline partitions of different colors. Then, goose quill stems are used to fetch the enamel colors, which are filled into the partitions accordingly. After coloring, more than 50 procedures, 5 scorchings and burnishings in burning furnaces of 800 to 1200 degrees centigrade to avoid air bubbles in the dial surface, and over 100 hours of actual working hours will be needed to complete an enamel cloisonne dial. Due to its complex and time-consuming forging process, enamel watches fell into near oblivion since the 1950s, and only such top watch makers as Ulysse Nardin are now able to produce such works that were tokens for wealth and power in the ancient world. Currently there are fewer than 10 watch making masters that are capable of the craft of enamel watches, and it's really a highly rare traditional craft. Ulysse Nardin's chief enamel master Michel Vermot made a series of fabulous enamel cloisonne watches for the company. Ulysse Nardin's enamel cloisonne watches include four series: San Marco Plain Enamel, Ship and Sea Battle and Landmarks as well as in the Classico Collection.

Temple of Heaven

Enamel Cloisonne Limited Edition

The TEMPLE of HEAVEN is a complex of Taoist buildings situated in Beijing, China. It was constructed in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty and was enlarged during the Qing Dynasty. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the two dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest, as the feudal emperors thought they were the son of the heaven.
