Luxury wristwatches for the appropriate sense of time
HORANDO is aware that people choose their watches based on different criteria. The platform for buying high-quality watches online at reasonable prices wants to offer luxury watch buyers a protected area in which the desire for a wristwatch from the luxury segment can be met calmly and thoughtfully. It is obvious that everyday people actually need their watches less and less as a functional instrument. Today we can have the time announced to us in a variety of ways, sometimes we want it to be a bit more timeless. Time is also associated with negative connotations. Time pressure, lack of time, wasting time all resonate. Heir-counters, those who plan every minute and demand an account of every hour. Today there is a lot of talk about slowing down and mindfulness, we are more concerned with enjoying the reservoir of time that is allotted to us. Using time sensibly - and savoring every minute - all of this can be seen in a glance at a wristwatch. Then it increases the feeling of life enormously when this glance falls on a watch that, in its value and beauty, can do more than just measure units of time. The watches from Ulysse Nardin are undoubtedly among them.
Luxury watches from Ulysse Nardin engage in lively storytelling
This certainly has a lot to do with the fact that the Ulysse Nardin brand itself has a varied history. It is also the saga of a family. The watchmaker Léonard Frédéric Nardin was born in the middle of the revolutionary era in 1792. He introduced his son Ulysse to the finer points of watchmaking and sent him to be an apprentice to William Dubois, the most famous watchmaker at the time. Ulysse profited greatly and founded his own company in Le Locle in 1846. The location - still the company headquarters today - was chosen tactically, as the industrial city had been considered the cradle of Swiss watchmaking since the beginning of the 18th century. After Ulysse Nardin's sudden death in 1876, his son Paul-David succeeded him at a very young age.
Ulysse Nardin and the Conquest of the Oceans
From this point on, the company turned to a specialization that would establish its greatest reputation: ship's chronometers. Paul-David had a feeling for a real gap in the market and the knowledge to fill it excellently. In the emerging shipping industry, impeccable precision was vital. A deviation of just one second could mean a detour of over 460 meters. And the young owner of Ulysse Nardin met this need so perfectly that the awards were not long in coming. By the turn of the 20th century, 300 specialists were already working on the company's excellent reputation. Ulysse Nardin's pocket watches shone with a variety of interesting complications: alarm, calendar, moon phase, perpetual calendar, striking mechanism. A successful model that has also proven itself throughout the company's history. Some of these historical works of art still amaze visitors to the watch museum in Le Locle today. The excellent deck clocks and pocket watches reached Japan, Russia and the USA. Between 1906 and 1942, Ulysse Nardin supplied the US Navy with its sensational and sophisticated inventions. The chronometers were so perfect that they were quickly copied and industrially produced by the original American manufacturer Hamilton – unfortunately, the patents were missing – when the war ended the collaboration with the United Navy Observatory Naval. With the introduction of a wristwatch withchronographand automatic winding for the 1936 Olympics, Ulysse Nardin entered the watchmaking Olympus. After eventful decades, the duo Rolf W. Schnyder and Dr. Ludwig Oechslin managed to maneuver the traditional watch manufacturer back into the top ranks of Swiss producers with groundbreaking innovations in the 1980s. The watches now embodied a unique symbiosis of functionality, everyday suitability and flawless aesthetic sophistication. International gold medals and 4,000 first prizes alone rained down. In 2014, Ulysse Nardin slipped under the umbrella of the French luxury goods group Kering.
Between Heaven and Earth - High-End Luxury Watches for Individualists
The Swiss watchmaker's marine chronometers are rarities. Ship captains, deep-sea sailors and naval officers wear these wristwatches, which are based on the essential elements of the old art of watchmaking. The limited models Maxi Marine Diver, Blue Sea, Black Sea Chronograph and Acqua Perpetual Limited Edition in particular are firmly anchored in the maritime elite equipment. The San Marco series is also very popular. The cult models Mondsüchtig, Royal Blue Tourbillon and Carneval de Venice are only available in a few copies. Since the 1960s, ladies have also found it hard to resist the maritime charm of the noble pieces and have reached for the Caprice, Classico Lady, Jade or Dual Time Ladies. An interesting choice of colors between silver and violet and glittering diamonds serve a feminine aesthetic, while male wearers are more attracted to the screw-down crowns, water resistance and other down-to-earth details. The fact that Ulysse Nardin also has the ambition to play a role in the avant-garde was evident at the presentation of the modelsChairman Phone(with integrated mobile phone) andThe Freak, which is made using silicon and nano-engineered diamonds. For watch lovers with a penchant for astronomy, the stars are in the right place at Ulysse Nardin. It was actually long overdue for an outstanding watch manufacturer to take on the network of relationships between celestial bodies, planets and solar systems, the interrelationships between the sun and the moon in relation to time. The astronomy trilogy at Ulysse Nardin consists of the modelsAstrolabium Galileo Galilei, Planetarium Nicolaus Copernicus- with the 7 planets of the old world - and theTellurium Johannes KeplerThe latter in a yellow gold case with automatic movement and sapphire crystals. Models such as Alexander the Great, Planet Earth, Sonata Silicium and Freak Blue Phantom evoke the company's brilliant past.
Worldwide interest in the luxury watch with the anchor in the logo
The fact that Ulysse Nardin now has its own boutiques in China, Dubai, Antalya, Kuala Lumpur, Florida and Moscow proves that the company satisfies elementary desires that connect continents. HORANDO also offers the brand not only in its well-kept online shop. Since 2015, a HORANDO showroom in Bamberg has also made it fun to drop anchor at Ulysse Nardin.
