It is one of the few companies that has remained in continuous production for over 165 years. Ulysse Nardin has operated out of the same building headquartered in Le Locle, Switzerland since 1865. Historically, the company is best known for its manufacture of highly accurate marine chronometers supplied at one point during the 1800s to over fifty of the worlds navies. Ulysse Nardin was named after its founder, Ulysse Nardin, an accomplished watchmaker. Nardin first trained in horology under his father, Leonard-Frederic Nardin, and perfected his skills under the tutelage of Frederic William Dubois and Louis JeanRichard-dit-Bressel, two master watchmakers whose fame extended beyond the mountains of Neuchatel, Switzerland. In its over 165 years of history, Ulysse Nardin had been widely respected as a specialist in marine chronometers. Among the most reliable and accurate ever made, Ulysse Nardin’s marine chronometers have seen service with the navies of some 50 countries during the mid-1800s. It's consistent excellence has also been recognized by the award of 18 international gold medals and 4,300 first prizes in chronometrics.   ABOUT  WATCHES The  wonderful new  stainless  steel  case with  exhibition back has been made specially for this perfect mechanism.

Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).  - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.   - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.   - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.  - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.   - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.   - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.   - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).  - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.   - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.  - IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.   - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.    - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.     - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.     - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.     PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING!  Please note:  Vintage watches are very delicate and I package to the highest degree to prevent damage.  High altitude flights can be hard on watches due to extreme temperature changes. This can cause the oil viscosity to decrease (gum up) and prevent a watch from ticking (the balance moving freely etc.). It may need to be oiled when it arrives regardless of its recent servicing (if applicable). Although this is only a very slight possibility it can occasionally happen.  Please bear in mind that you are buying a used watch and it will require service at some point in time.  If You have any questions after reading the description or viewing the pictures please email me prior to bidding.
