A story of time.
A story of precision timekeeping.
As humans, we are driven by exploration.
Forever reaching further to discover new ideas, new concepts, new frontiers.
Pushing the boundaries to reach new heights and touch the untouchable.
The future is our destination. Innovation is our tool.
So off we go!
Gliding through the labyrinth of time.
Witnessing life in all its fullness.
Here we push back the limits of time.
Here we reinvent the rules of what can and cannot be done.
We are the winds of change after all.
We introduce a new squadron of seven original Marine Torpilleur models, showcasing the House's 175 years of Haute Horlogerie savoir-faire.

Freak S NOMAD 45mm
The Freak S Nomad testifies to Ulysse Nardin’s deep love of haute horlogerie, métiers d’art and the rare handcrafts and finishing techniques that define only the most exquisite luxury watches. No element in the Freak S Nomad better illustrates this passion than the hour disc that sits behind the carousel ‘spaceship’ movement. It features a diamond guilloché pattern finished in sand-coloured CVD, a nod to waving sand dunes. Produced one piece at a time by a skilled artisan, the painstaking method behind it takes years to learn and perfect.
