Following on our La Chaux-de-Fonds visit, we continued with the visit of Ulysse Nardin and went through their rather modern and optimised production line.

Before being bought a few years ago by French mega luxury group Kering, this brand used to belong to Swiss german shareholders and without going too much down the cliché route, one can say that the level of organisation found there definitely reflects more this part of Switzerland!!

But joke aside, one has to acknowledge that Ulysse Nardin have been very innovative over the last 15 years or so with the introduction of pretty radical technologies, for instance the use of silicon on many strategic components of their timepieces.

Enjoy and all the very best!
