Ulysse Nardin announces new partnerships with world class navigator and sailing journalist Sebastien Destremau and with Mathieu Crépel, the French snowboarding record-breaker converted into a real “waterman” embracing the ocean and the mountain through the water cycle and the seasons. Both are real-life heroes who embody the philosophy we have always held in highest esteem at Ulysse Nardin; heeding the call to create your own destiny from dreams, ambitions and courage.
Destremau and Crépel join accomplished free-diver and photographer Fred Buyle and kite-surfing champion Alex Caizergues in the Ulysse Nardin Armada of Explorers. Like the hero of Homer’s “Odyssey”, these modern-day Ulysses are unwilling to stay a pre-determined course. Instead, they see life as an open challenge, a path of possibilities beckoning them to put their mettle to the test. Each a unique force, they seek to overcome extreme obstacles in their indominable quests to follow their dreams.
Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Ulysse Nardin, explains what makes the Swiss watchmaker different and has elevated it into a category of its own. “The sea has always been our universe and call to adventure. It is inherent at Ulysse Nardin to push the boundaries in all domains; technical, creative and innovative. We adhere to no rules other than the ones we define for ourselves.”
