Continuing its commitment to supporting marine research, Ulysse Nardin has teamed up with Ocearch, a data and scientific driven organization that works collaboratively with researchers and educational institutions to better understand the movement and habits of sharks.
As a watch brand with deep ties to the ocean symbolized by the shark, it was only natural for the La Chaux-de-Fonds house to form a partnership with the very organisation leading the charge in shark research and conservation. Ocearch’s urgent mission is to accelerate the ocean’s return to balance and abundance through fearless innovation in scientific research, education, outreach, and policy, using unique collaborations of individuals and organisations in the U.S. and abroad. Their goal is to assist researchers in their work and provide invaluable resources to better understand the shark’s role as apex predator in the ocean’s fragile ecosystem.
Much like the balance wheel of a mechanical movement, sharks are the balance keepers of our ocean’s ecosystems. As such, they are responsible for preserving the sea’s equilibrium by regulating the cycle of life deep below the surface. Many marine species are difficult to study because components of their lifecycles occur solely or partially outside of the observable realm of researchers, making the studies completed by Ocearch vital to our understanding of the sea and debunking the vision of sharks as villains.
