Happenings Jean-Christophe Sabatier To Lecture At The Horological Society Of New York

Jean-Christophe Sabatier is head of the product department at Ulysse Nardin, in Le Locle. Responsible for the brand's product range from design of new collections to market distribution, Jean-Christophe and his team draw up designs for new products, decide on their positioning, and help to keep the spirit of creativity and innovation going – values dear to the Maison. Jean-Christophe is a project management expert responsible for a team of ten people, including artists, designers, and project managers.

With years of technical endeavors in automotive and sports industries under his belt, Jean-Christophe entered the watchmaking sector in 2002 as marketing and communications director of Baume et Mercier. In 2011, he started at the Kering group, as director of the Watches sector at Boucheron. Finally, in March 2016, Jean-Christophe arrived at Ulysse Nardin as product director.

Special Guest: With twenty-five years at the bench under his belt, Ulysse Nardin's Head Watchmaker Kris Endress joined the team in 2009 after being introduced to the Ulysse Nardin Freak a few years prior. Having fallen in love with the uniqueness of this piece, Endress turned down several offers from other companies to move his family to Switzerland so he could work for Ulysse Nardin.

With an affinity for technical content and creation, Sabatier and Endress have enjoyed working closely for the last six years, as they have continued to revolutionize the art of horology at Ulysse Nardin.
