Ulysse Nardin reopens its boutique in Hong Kong
HONG KONG – Ulysse Nardin reopened its boutique at Ocean Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong
Kong last Thursday, June 28th, 2007. The opening ceremony was officiated by the President of
Ulysse Nardin, Mr. Rolf W. Schnyder, and the Swiss Consul General in Hong Kong, Mr. Hans
Roth.
Incorporating a new design concept, the Ulysse Nardin boutique has an elegant and luminous
interior, creating a comfortable environment for customers to shop from a wide range of Ulysse
Nardin Timepieces, including one of its very old antique marine chronometers and some of the
rare Masterpieces, like The Genghis Khan, The Royal Blue Tourbillon, The Freak, The Egg of the
Tsars and The Circus Minute Repeater, some of the most desired items for enthusiastic watch
lovers.
“Our sales increased in Hong Kong during the first 5 months of 2007 – 70% over the same period
last year. This Extraordinary development is no doubt due to the ever expanding and successful
economy of mainland China and the enormous flow of mainland Tourists who visit this unique
shopping paradise”, Mr. Rolf Schnyder said.
Established in 1846, Ulysse Nardin was named after its founder, an accomplished watchmaker.
Specializing in marine chronometers, the company develops and produces mechanical
timepieces of the highest technical levels. The Ulysse Nardin collection is in the proud tradition of
quality and mechanical innovation. The Company was awarded 4 Innovation Prizes – Watch of
the Year in 5 consecutive years between 2000 and 2004.
Besides the showroom, Ulysse Nardin timepieces are also available at Elegant, Carlson,
Emperor, Oriental, Prince and Right Watch, where a wide range of models are available for
selection.
In 2004, in view of the country’s potential growth, Ulysse Nardin started to build up its distribution
network in Mainland China. In November 2006, the Brand celebrated the opening of its first
flagship store in Shanghai, on the BUND, in the famous house at no 18 hosting other prestigious
watch and jewellery brands. Today, Ulysse Nardin is present with 17 shop-in-shops, in the most
renowned watch retail outlet throughout China such as Shanghai, Beijing, Dalian, Harbin, Tianjin,
Shenzhen, Kunming, Nanchang, Changsha and Datong. With China’s booming economy, it will
become a promising market for Ulysse Nardin in a few years.
