Capitalising on this high-profile event and the luxury-loving crowd it attracts, Ulysse Nardin showcases its latest Marine Torpilleur Monaco Yacht Show Limited Edition.

MIH stands for Musee International d’Horlogerie and during the time that mr. Ludwig Oechslin was curator of the museum, he introduced the MIH Watch.
