“When I arrived in the United States to work with Ulyssa Nardin, I wanted to tell the history of this brand and do something with veterans and special forces,” said François-Xavier Hotier, U.S. president of Ulysse Nardin since 2018.
“The third goal I had was related to conservation and sustainability, especially related to sharks.” We can freely say that all three goals of this amazing man have been achieved.
Ulysse Nardin – Sharks
Swiss company has just announced its partnership with OCEARCH, a scientific research organization dedicated to a better understanding of the movements and habits of the scariest sea creature.
Ulysse Narda brand has a long history with sharks – these animals were in a way their mascot during the production of chronographs for world navies from over fifty countries in the period from the 19th century to the 1950s.

Today, their diving models represent a commercial product for everyday wear, such as the latest watches including the Diver Chronograph 44mm Hammerhead Shark Limited Edition (limited to 300 pieces, priced at $11,900) and the Lady Diver 39mm Great White Limited Edition (limited to 300 pieces, priced from $7,900).
As the brand’s founder says about OCEARCH Collaboration: “I found them on Instagram when I was looking for partners, but before that I read William McKeever’s book Emperors of the Deep, which focuses on sharks, where the first page focuses on OCEARCH’s mission and goals.

When I came across them again, I thought it couldn’t be a coincidence and I contacted their founder.”
The partnership with Ulysse Nardin will help the organization fund its expeditions, where teams, along with students and scientists, explore shark ecosystems and their migration habits.
