Ulysse Nardin is out to impress again, celebrating their legacy with a stylish twist. The renowned watchmaker has unveiled two new editions of the Freak S as part of a yearlong celebration of artisanal métiers d’art. These aren’t just your ordinary watches – they marry avant-garde innovation with centuries-old craftsmanship. Imagine vibrant turquoise blue and deep ruby red enamel discs rotating elegantly on your wrist, a true blend of high watchmaking and artistic mastery. And if you’re wondering just how exclusive these beauties are, there’s a limited run of only 50 pieces each.
Under the hood, the magic doesn’t stop. The Freak S is powered by the sophisticated Caliber UN-251, boasting 373 parts and 33 jewels packed into a sleek 42.15mm diameter. Its self-winding mechanism hums along with a lovely 72-hour power reserve. As expected from Ulysse Nardin, it has the flying carousel movement rotating around its own axis – an eyebrow-raiser at any dinner party!
Both editions gleam under the watchful eye of Donzé Cadrans, Ulysse Nardin’s enamel workshop just a stone’s throw away from their main hub in Le Locle. This ancient craft dates back to the time when wearing a sundial on your wrist was still considered avant-garde. Enamelling offers colors that shine like an Instagram filter but last a lifetime.
The Freak S doesn’t just dazzle with its face – it offers durability with a 45mm titanium case, known for its strength and used in everything from airplanes to Formula 1 cars. Imagine the material that keeps planes in the sky now on your wrist! Plus, being 45% lighter than steel means you can add more bling without increasing the weight.
This release isn’t just a watch – it’s a wrist-top laboratory, crammed with high-tech innovations and an oscillating movement that’s sure to hypnotize anyone who catches a glimpse. Whether you’re a novice watch enthusiast or an aficionado, the Freak S stands as a beacon of high watchmaking artistry.
