From the period of the chronometer's nautical pocket watch to the revival of mechanical watches, Ulysse Nardin has become a first-class manufacturer thanks to its technological research and development and complications, especially enamel technology. Nautical clocks are Athens' strong point, since the founding of Athens in 1846 for more than 100 years, Athens marine clocks have been the first choice of the navies of various countries, in 1975 the Neuchâtel Observatory in Switzerland released an official report showing that from 1846 to 1975 issued a total of 4,504 mechanical nautical chronometer chronometer certificates, of which 4,324 were issued to Ulysse Nardin, equivalent to 95% of the total. Not only marine clocks, but also Athens watches have won numerous awards, winning 18 Grand Prix de l'Auster, 10 Gold Medals, 2 Grand Prix and 2 Silver Medals at the World Expo.
 
In 1983, Rove Schneider bought Athens, which was in the midst of a quartz crisis, and began the chapter of modern Athens, which was the first watch manufacturer to use silicon in the field of materials, and in recent years, a new generation of movements has used silicon escapement parts. The Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon escapement also won the Best Tourbillon Award at the 2015 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, setting the benchmark for the use of silicon.
 
The "Chronometer Trilogy", which is very important in the history of Ulysse Nardin horology, was jointly designed and developed by Ulysse Nardin and Dr. Ocklin, including the Galileo Astrolabe in 1985, the Copernican Chronometer in 1988, and the Kepler Astronomical in 1992.
 
Before the launch of the UN-118 in-house calibre, Athens was already a pacesetter in the transformation of ETA movements, Sonata had complications such as cathedral bell alarms, countdowns, dual time zone displays, and date quick-sets, and the modifications were all based on the most ordinary ETA movements. After the launch of the UN-118, Athens not only promoted its use in its own models, but also supplied it to the outside world. In 2014, Ulysse Nardin already had more than 70% in-house movements, and in 2016 it will reach 96%.
 
Athens, the first marine watch, Athens' marine series maintains a similar style, but the design language difference between the various models is obvious, the scale, Romaji, Arabic will be used, the choice of the outer ring is also many, the price range also has obvious bins, the entry-level steel model of 60,000 yuan can already be started, the 18K gold style is more than 200,000, 6300-300 is equipped with a tourbillon, the most unique feature is the indication form of the minute, through a "mast" indication, The mast is connected and fixed by a slender "rope", which is attached to the piles on either side of the tourbillon, through which the mast is pulled to indicate the time, and the public price is 2,240,000 yuan.
 
In addition, the "whimsy" is also very recommendable, the tourbillon drags the escape wheel train to form a pagoda structure, which is very characteristic in terms of operation, and is a landmark product of Athens, with an entry model of 560,000 yuan and an advanced model of 700,000 yuan.
