One of the most exciting models ever issued by Ulysse Nardin is the fantastic Freak. The Freak represents a milestone in horologic history since the basis of its design presents a movement that is actually a watch itself. The design was completely novel, without a crown, whiteout dial and without hands. The core of the creation was a simple mechanical movement and its beautiful movement. Creation of Freak was truly something very much like a renaissance in mechanical watchmaking.
For the upcoming BaselWorld, Ulysse Nardin presents yet another amazing Freak model. The new model is one more step in the evolution of the epic Freak. Initial model was a simple but amazing mechanical time teller but,as the idea evolved, it soon became equipped with hands different horologic complications.
The devilish appearance of this Freak Diavolo is enhanced by the red details and cloak-like backdrop. The Freak was a first timepiece to use Silicium for the escapement wheels, and this material is once again used for the hairspring and themost of the escapement. The Ulysse Nardin Freak Diavolo is equipped with a flying tourbillon that also indicates the seconds, completing one rotation per hour. The tourbillon cage is equipped with an arrow-hand indicating the seconds on the transparent half-circle.
This robust watch is crafted in 18-carat white gold and presented in 45mm wide round case. The black and charcoal tones are accented with bright red details and completed with elegant black crocodile strap. The watch is manually wound to provide more than 8 days of power reserve. Ref. Nr. 2080-115
