Ulysse Nardin takes another swift step towards independence with the acquisition of the Ebel in-house chronograph movement. A revered and reliable movement, it has been considered one of the finest on the market for 17 years – a true success story. Interestingly, the Ebel Chronograph story began in parallel with one of Ulysse Nardin’s most notable breakthroughs: the Perpetual Calendar.

The commonality is a grassroots movement that was optimised and adapted to each of these two outstanding products, allowing both brands to realise their dream of innovation. With Ulysse Nardin’s purchase of the movement, it is as if the twin brothers have found each other. The story of this chronograph will carry on in the hands of the master watchmakers who brought the movement to life, for they are now a part of the Ulysse Nardin family. Ulysse Nardin looks forward to releasing the additional manufacture movement by the end of 2012.

Without hesitation, the acquisition of this manufacture chronograph movement further strengthens Ulysse Nardin’s position as a renowned manufacturer in the exacting world of watchmaking.
