Nardin has chosen Farfetch.com for its first online launch, and presents a
special edition of the blue Marine Torpilleur, exclusively available on the
website of the international online luxury retailer. This new piece, with a
subtly crafted dial, joins the ranks of the popular Marine Torpilleur that was
launched in 2017 and is initially available in two more classic versions: a white
dial with black indexes and a blue dial with white indexes. On the FARFETCH
MARINE TORPILLEUR, you will find layered pink gold coloring. Sober and
elegant, it gives a more refined look to the piece overall, accentuating the
contrast with the 42 mm steel case. The pink gold brings out the dial’s
shimmering, iconic blue. In the same vein, the pear-shaped hands are no longer
rhodiumized, but pink gold colored. The power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock
is no longer in vermeil red, but also made of pink gold, as is the case for the
date of the Le Locle Manufacture’s creation, 1846. The indexes have a small additional
touch: the immaculate white has been discreetly transformed into light gray, to
soften the dial’s overall look.
This
new FARFETCH MARINE TORPILLEUR, available
with a leather, steel or rubber strap, completes a collection which is already
a best-seller. This new addition to the permanent collection, only available
online, now forms part of the troop of Torpilleurs.
Women
will also have their own new product available on Farfetch.com as the CLASSICO JADE, in the red version
launched at SIHH 2018, is now available without the diamond-set bezel. It comes
with a satin strap for formal version, or with an alligator leather strap, for
a more day-to-day look.
“Expect
more launches in the future,” stated Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Ulysse Nardin
since September 2017. “We’re delighted to launch Ulysse Nardin on
Farfetch.com,” continued Mr. Pruniaux. “We’re showing our capacity to adapt to
the changing era. It’s the first time that Ulysse Nardin has taken part in
e-commerce on a global level.”
The
blue-anchored brand will be online on Farfetch.com from Monday April 23, 2018,
with a collection of more than 45 pieces, including the FARFETCH MARINE TORPILLEUR.

Manufacture inspired by the sea and delivering innovative timepieces to free

Founded
by Mr. Ulysse Nardin in 1846 and a proud member of the global luxury group Kering
since November 2014, Ulysse Nardin has written some of the finest chapters
in the history of Haute Horlogerie. The company’s earliest renown came from its
links to the nautical world: its marine chronometers are among the most
reliable ever made, still sought by collectors around the world. A pioneer
of cutting-edge technologies and the innovative use of materials like
silicium, the brand is one of the few with the in-house expertise to produce
its own high-precision components and movements. This exceptional level of
watchmaking
excellence has earned Ulysse Nardin membership in the most exclusive
circle of Swiss watchmaking, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie. Today,
from its sites in Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, the
brand’s continuing quest for horological perfection
centers around five collections: The Marine, the Diver, the Classic, the
