Ulysse Nardin was born in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1823. Following in his father's footsteps, he trained as a "remonteur" and eventually set up his own workshop. In 1846, the Ulysse Nardin Company was founded. Little more than a counter, its watches displayed high-quality craftsmanship and were signed by their maker. It was the beginning of an enterprise that has lasted more than 150 years. No doubt the future will bring more delightful innovations from this highly prestigious watch manufactory, but what is certain to remain consistent is the company's dedication to producing only the finest quality timepieces such as the Kremlin, GMT Perpetual, Quadrato, Marine, Anniversary 160, Caprice, Michaelangelo, Ludovico, Specialties like the Minute repeater and Hour Strike and of course The Freak.
The featured watch is an Automatic, Stainless Steel Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronograph. The Maxi Marine Chronograph timepiece gives a classic touch to a modern watch design and is crafted with the finest materials. The Stainless Steel case measures to 41 mm with a Stainless Steel bezel, screw-down crown, sapphire crystal window and a transparent caseback to view the movement. Housed in the stunning and masculine case is a UN Caliber self-winding movement with 57 jewels, a power reserve of 42 hours and is water resistant up to 200 meters. The round, ivory dial features roman numeral hour markers in white, outlined in blue, a seconds subdial at 3 o'clock, a date display between 4 and 5 o'clock and a 45 minute register at 9 o'clock. This stunning piece is completed with a black leather strap along with a Stainless Steel Ulysse Nardin butterfly deployment buckle. 
Personal Note--This piece is a stunning sports watch with amazing details... The ivory dial gives this piece a vintage look, especially with the silver guilloche center to contrast the two soft colors. The roman numerals give the dial a unique contrast with the blue outline against the white and ivory. Truly a beautiful piece with all the necessities of a sports chronograph.
