Ulysse Nardin is known for its bespoke manufacturing and high-quality watchmaking inspired by the ocean, ultimately producing timepieces for explorers in pursuit of freedom; thus, this partnership is a further testament to the brand’s dedication to its favorite environment and the spirit of exploration.
“Air travel is about exploration and freedom, and these are core tenets in UN’s DNA.” added Jeffrey Brenner, Blade’s Head of Global Partnerships. “Ulysse Nardin is a synergistic fit with our company’s brand and vision. Similar to Ulysse Nardin’s commitment to ocean conservation through the re-purposing and incorporation of recovered fishing nets and other plastic waste into their product line, Blade is committed to our transition to lower-cost, quiet and emission-free Electric Vertical Aircraft in the near future, as well as the carbon-neutral footprint of our urban air mobility business today.”
