Ulysse Nardin’s legacy as a maker of on-board ship’s chronometers – highly precise timekeepers used for navigation on the world’s seas – is fairly well known among watch lovers. After all, some of the company’s most popular timepieces are those that point to its nautical legacy. Ulysse Nardin’s horological prowess on the high seas even saw it partner with the American Navy as early as 1905, when UN answered a call to submit marine chronometers for a competition for precision torpedo boat timepieces. Ulysse Nardin won this chronometer competition, and several thereafter, they say. This is a watch that commemorates an important chapter in Ulysse Nardin’s history, and which bears the allusive name Torpilleur.
