Rolf W. Schnyder, CEO of Ulysse Nardin, has unexpectedly passed away on 14th April 2011 after a short illness. “With the passing of Rolf W. Schnyder, the watchmaking industry has lost one of its greatest visionaries, while Ulysse Nardin has lost an important source of innovation for the firm, said Susanne Hurni, press officer and head of media relations at Ulysse Nardin. Rolf W. Schnyder had acquired the family firm Ulysse Nardin in 1983, and since that time held the role of president and CEO at the helm of the manufacturer with its wealth of tradition. Under his leadership, Ulysse Nardin rose once more to the top of the mechanical watchmaking sector, with numerous innovations such as the first astronomical wrist watches.
The management and staff of AWJ Online Newsletter and MPP-ME Group, extend their deepest sympathies to the family of Mr. Schnyder and all members of Ulysse Nardin.
