Ulysse Nardin – Vertical Odyssey Ulysse Nardin invited us to the Vertical Odyssey at Watches and Wonders 2022, when it debuted since management's acquisition of Kering in January this year, with three new arrivals: Moonstruck (announced in February), Freak, the first dual-oscillator S and Freak X with aventurine.
A few months ago, Kering reported the sale of Ulysse Nardin (and Girard-Perregaux) to management on January 24, 2022. The two companies, led by Patrick Pruniaux since 2018, have been sharing some corporate functions, but their product lines are quite different. "With Kering's support and investment on a solid foundation, we have the right setup and resources to implement a plan that will ensure the long-term growth of both brands" - which he declares is important for a successful takeoff.
Symbolically, perhaps, but Ulysse Nardin opted for a vertical odyssey theme to showcase their novelty at Watches and Wonders. However, it is no coincidence that they presented 3 Ulysse Nardin models on this occasion.
