Rich Ulysse Nardin history
Feb 19, 2021,15:27 PM
I red many stories about Rolf Schnyder and Ludwig Oechslin.
This one opened my eyes, Rolf walks into the building of Ulysse Nardin and met Ludwig. Ludwig was the only one in the building and was servicing an Ulysse Nardin watch for a customer. The company had pain, near bankruptcy.
Rolf had a great idea and Ludwig listened, a watch which could safe the brand.
The two men decided to develop that watch and Rolf would do the marketing and be the investor.
Ludwig his watch making skills are out of this world and the quartz crisis had no mercy for the art.
A new era arise, people wanted special watches, something different than a plastic watch which tells only time for a few bucks. The nineties brings luck to many people and succes must be celebrated. For me the new century was the start of luck, so i went then looking which Rolex models are nice for my wrist.
Lucky Ulysse Nardin survived by Rolf W Schnyder and the recovered world economy.
The Ulysse Nardin history is rich and remarkable.

a grail for me - the PT trio

exactly the one you showed, I agree that the Tellurium is the most beautiful - I think the Astrolabium is the intellectually most interesting but I would probably wear the planetarium most just for the pleasure of seeing the orrery. But the total is much ...
Amazing pieces.

Love mine and really enjoy setting it after a period of not wearing it. Amazing to see the approach of an eclipse. Here we have a solar eclipse being shown. ...
Ideally the set, but I would also choose Tellerium.

The rebirth of Ulysses Nardin was thanks to Rolf's intuition an adventure made up of meetings with Raimondo Brenni for the design and Ludwig Oechslin for the fantastic developments of movements. in the 1980s, watchmaking companies were run by strong perso...
