From 1876 onward, Ulysse Nardin regularly submitted marine chronometers to the Neuchâtel and Geneva Observatories where they underwent stringent tests: 9 test runs of 7 days each at temperatures of 36, 28, 20, 12 and 4 degrees, then again 12, 20, 28 and 36 degrees. The “to and fro” was aimed at proving the exemplary precision of the timekeepers under extreme conditions. The results confirmed the pre-eminence of the Le Locle firm in one of the most demanding specialties in the art of watchmaking.

Ulysse Nardin’s achievements in the development of the marine chronometer were honoured with the highest distinctions throughout the world. The firm gained over 4300 First prizes and 18 gold medals at world fairs and international exhibitions. Its marine chronometers equipped over 50 navies on all five continents.

Today satellites have replaced the marine chronometer and the sextant as navigation instruments. Nonetheless, Ulysse Nardin marine chronometers are still prized by enthusiasts and collectors.
