<br> Few watchmakers require a book of operating instructions to
accompany their timepieces. But the Ulysse Nardin dynasty is no
ordinary watchmaker. Since 1846, Nardin and his descendents have
produced award winning timepieces. These coveted watches are produced
in extremely limited quantities. Ulysse Nardin's technical
achievements are legendary. Its watches of the last thirty years have
been exemplary. Among its many celebrated watches, are the Astrolabium
Galileo Galilei (an automatic watch only 9mm thick that indicates the
height and direction of the sun, moon and stars), the Planetarium
Copernicus (displaying the solar system), and the Tellurium (that
projects the earth in a geographically accurate perspective from the
North Pole).
