Ulysse Nardin is taking part in Watches and Wonders: which is the most important new model you are presenting?
The new Freak S: an extreme version of the Freak Vision. Ulysse Nardin at its best. It never ceases to amaze me to hear some of the most recognized leaders in watchmaking admit how the Freak inspired them. The Freak is much more than a watch and it continues to evolve. 

Girard-Perregaux is hosting its clients in another location…
Girard-Perregaux’s strategy does not include participating in Watches and Wonders Geneva this year. We have timed our launches differently. That said, we will take advantage of the presence of key players in the industry to meet up with them in Geneva and present our collections. 

How does the joint Manufacture operate?
The Manufacture on the Rue des Crêtets in La Chaux-de-Fonds is a resource facility serving both brands. The expertise, the workshops, the people are shared by the two names and complementary. We are very proud to have one of the few integrated Manufactures in the industry and it represents our core strength.
