May 2009: Ulysse Nardin
Based in Le Locle, Switzerland, Ulysse Nardin is one of the world’s premier watch manufacturers. Since opening its doors in 1846, Ulysse Nardin has been the recipient of 4,300-plus awards in watchmaking—18 of them gold medals—and has received the greatest number of patents in mechanical watchmaking. It used to take Ulysse Nardin four years to develop the complex insides of a new watch that can contain as many as 400 moving parts. The process has been cut in half using Autodesk Inventor software.
