Ulysse Nardin Freak X OPS 43mm

Introducing the extraordinary timepiece that defies conventions and redefines the very essence of watchmaking — the Ulysse Nardin Freak. Born from the visionary collaboration between maverick owner Rolf Schnyder and genius watchmaker Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, the Freak made its groundbreaking debut in 2001, shattering traditional notions of what a watch should be. At its core, the Freak is a bold proclamation of innovation and audacity. It boldly discards the conventional trappings of a wristwatch – no crown, no dial, no hands. Instead, it proudly showcases its cutting-edge mechanism as the centrepiece of its design. With its revolutionary technical components, the Freak stands as a testament to Ulysse Nardin's relentless pursuit of excellence and eccentricity. Notably, it proudly boasts the distinction of being the first mechanical watch in history to feature silicon escapement wheels, a milestone achievement that underscores the collection’s pioneering spirit.

Freak X

The Freak X, perhaps the most conventional of the Freak collection, encapsulates the core elements of its namesake—an orbital oscillator and a silicon escapement. With its absence of a dial and hands, the Freak X distinguishes itself for its practicality and everyday wearability. It offers a harmonious blend of materials while remaining faithful to the distinctive essence of the Freak concept, a floating carousel that indicates time.

Freak S

Unveiled in 2022 as a testament to Ulysse Nardin's unparalleled mastery, the Freak S builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessors. At its core, lies the brand's pioneering double oscillator, complemented by a revolutionary differential and automatic winding mechanism. This feat is made possible by the Grinder® system, ingeniously designed to harness energy from even the slightest wrist movements.

Freak ONE

The Freak ONE, launched in 2023, this remarkable timepiece lies its crowning jewel—an oversized, intricately crafted balance wheel meticulously fashioned from a single piece of silicon. This aerodynamic marvel, coupled with a lever escapement executed in DIAMonSIL, epitomises Ulysse Nardin's unparalleled mastery of silicon technology. The Freak ONE stands out as the first in the series to feature an integrated rubber strap crafted from 30 per cent recycled rubber sourced from production waste by BIWI.
