According to the manufacture, Ulysse Nardin joined with Jeffrey Khalaf and Michael Rosenberg of The Timepiece Collection in New Jersey to open the boutique. The space inside the hotel will feature over 100 of Ulysse Nardin’s finest timepieces, including the innovative Stranger watch, the world’s first music box watch, the Big Unit (which was launched in conjunction with Randy Johnson), and the Night’s Watch (which was created exclusively for the critically-acclaimed HBO® drama Game of Thrones®). It will also house several models from the Limited Edition Boutique line, including the Blue Toro, the Boutique Freak Diavolo, the Blue Executive Dual Time and the Boutique Diver.

The Boutique is designed as homage to the brand’s nautical heritage with timepieces displayed in portholes and
anchors hung on the walls. In addition to the New York boutique, Ulysse Nardin recently opened a boutique in
Geneva, Paris and Singapore, joining the 18 boutiques that can currently be found around the globe.
