The Ulysse Nardin Boutique at The Villa Menlo Park

THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA’S MOST EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF ULYSSE NARDIN TIMEPIECES

Ulysse Nardin has found a home in Silicon Valley at The Villa Menlo Park – the brand’s only standalone brand boutique in the Americas. Launched in partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, the new timepiece salon establishes a highly anticipated West Coast outpost for the cult-favorite Swiss watchmaker, one of only four Ulysse Nardin brand boutiques in the world. Every aspect of the sleek space designed by Bertrand Fairerol creates an experience that is luxurious yet unconventional – qualities that speak to the brand’s ethos and the Silicon Valley community.

Ulysse Nardin was the first to introduce silicon to watchmaking with the launch of the iconic Freak timepiece in 2001. The bold and unconventional Freak watch, and its ingenious watch movement crafted with silicon elements, inspires the boutique interior’s rich variety of brushed, polished, and mineral-inspired elements - a message driven home by a clever and artful ‘Silicon Inside’ light installation.

A PARTNERSHIP GROUNDED IN INNOVATION AND A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

The boutique’s arrival at The Villa Menlo Park reflects Silicon Valley’s emergence as a destination for the industry’s most innovative independent watchmakers.

"Silicon Valley collectors have a deep appreciation for independent watchmakers like Ulysse Nardin—brands driven by vision, creativity, and true independence. These values resonate strongly in our community, which has always celebrated innovation at its best," says Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry and a key force behind the development of The Villa Menlo Park. "We are proud to expand our partnership with Ulysse Nardin and to welcome the boutique to The Villa Menlo Park."

Patrick Pruniaux, Chairman and CEO of Ulysse Nardin: “Ulysse Nardin has been advancing watchmaking since 1846, and we’re excited to highlight our innovation—pioneering silicon technology into watchmaking—with a new flagship boutique in the heart of Silicon Valley. Our partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry allows collectors across the tech community and beyond to access the latest novelties from Ulysse Nardin.”

“The Ulysse Nardin boutique at The Villa Menlo Park is a manifestation of what “UN” is made of: the 179-year heritage of a Swiss Manufacture blended with futuristic, high horology as an art form. Here, watch afficionados and our cult-enthusiasts will find the very rare, the very new and the very best of Ulysse Nardin in a boutique designed as a ‘white lab’ for watch collectors.” stated François-Xavier Hotier of Ulysse Nardin Americas.
