Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin celebrates its seafaring heritage with a new Marine Torpilleur 175th anniversary capsule collection
For emerging watch collectors keen to move further into the world of luxury timepieces, here's a name worth exploring: Ulysse Nardin. While not a typical household name, the Swiss brand, which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year, has an unparalleled reputation as a top watchmaker.
Take, for example, the seven new additions to Marine Torpilleur's “Chronometry since 1846” capsule collection. With their rich and varied complications and classic design codes echoing the time-honoured nautical chronometers, these pieces provide an easy-to-use entry point for fine watchmaking. Combined with the romanticism behind the brand's storied heritage and its technical and horological prowess, it's not hard to see why the collection and the brand should speak to people of all ages.
Ulysse Nardin celebrates this milestone anniversary with the aforementioned Marine Torpilleur model. First launched in 2017, the collection is a thinner, lighter variant of the brand's flagship marine chronometer. Aptly named after the torpilleur - a small, fast torpedo boat of the late 19th century that could easily outrun larger ships - the watch is positioned as a more modern model, naturally designed to capture the attention of a younger audience.
