We obtained most of the ebauches, the applications, the programs, and also employed 5 employees from Ebel which were working on making that motion.
The movement, which Hoffman reveals will be renamed Ulysse Nardin Caliber 150, will likely be made on the firm's facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, exactly where it makes most of the parts for its existing movements.
