Ulysse Nardin has taken an additional stage towards production independence by paying for the rights to Ebel's proprietary Caliber 137, a chronograph motion initially made for that brand name in 1995 and just lately utilised in Ebel's 1911 BTR selection of men's replica watches . WatchTime talked about the new acquisition with Ulysse Nardin CEO Patrik Hoffman, who elaborated on the company's designs to the just about 20-year-old caliber and its little-known connection with Ulysse Nardin's possess perpetual calendar movement.
Ebel has in recent times place far more of the emphasis on its ladies' types and shifted its target absent from high-end mechanical replica watches for guys, which happens to be presumably the explanation which the enterprise, in accordance with Hoffman, approached U. N. about purchasing the rights to Caliber 137. Ebel will not want mechanical chronographs in its collection and may not use that movement any longer, Hoffman reported. 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.

Ulysse Nardin employed a similar baseplate for your perpetual calendar movement — and that is however applied in our GMT Perpetual — that Ebel employed for its chronograph motion.
The soon-to-be-renamed motion can even offer a platform for Ulysse Nardin so as to add further complications within the potential, Hoffman claims. The brand name intends to make use of it a different observe that is prepared to start with the close of 2012.
