Ulysse Nardin

Anchored in the Swiss town of Le Locle, Ulysse Nardin is the independent-integrated manufacture that has continuously reset the boundaries of watch engineering and design since 1846 thanks to its long-established technical excellence and its unconventional approach to watchmaking.

TIMEPIECES MADE IN LE LOCLE

Ulysse Nardin has embarked on an odyssey, to push back the limits of time, to reinvent the rules of what can and cannot be done.

An affiliate of Ulysse Nardin and Mimotec, Sigatec specialises in silicium micro-mechanical components and creates custom-made pieces with micron-level precision.

Silicium is a metalloid, a type of chemical element that resembles metal without possessing all of its properties, in particular its hardness. Its usage has been generally applied in the sector that mainly manufactures semi-conductors, transistors and microprocessors, which uses the material as a base for etching micro and integrated circuits. It presents a series of properties that make it perfectly suitable for use in micromechanical precision, a field that includes watchmaking.
