Ulysse Nardin Freak S and Freak X Aventurine

In 2022, Ulysse Nardin launched two new models: Freak S and Freak X Aventurine, further expanding the Freak series. Both models incorporate elements of the Freak's unconventional design philosophy that debuted in 2001, but the two new models modernize the interior. The Freak X Aventurine uses a movement developed from the two predecessors of the Freak series, the UN-118 and UN-250, as well as a merry-go-round that gives it the familiar Freak look. The Freak S, on the other hand, features the all-new Caliber UN-251, which boasts several technical features such as canted dual oscillators and a vertical differential that put it in a completely different class.replica watches for sale

What both the Freak X Aventurine and the Freak S have in common is a large silicon balance wheel, fully visible from the dial side. In the case of the Freak S, two silicon balance wheels are on display. In keeping with the Freak X Aventurine nomenclature, the balance wheel hovers above the dark blue aventurine dial. For the Freak S, the exterior of the new Caliber is the focal point.

While the Freak X Aventurine is a great addition to the Freak line, it's the Freak S that turns everything upside down. The concept was developed by Carol Forestier-Casapi, the master watchmaker behind some of Cartier and Tag Heuer's most impressive recent innovations. Her signature style is to incorporate unexpected cutting-edge technology into movements that retain a bit of traditional elegance.luxury replica watches

Aside from the wild aesthetic, the people behind the project have also spiced up the watch. Ludwig Ochslin participated in the project together with Forestier-Casapi. There aren't many people in the industry who can take the concept of a watch and make sure it can actually be built, and bring it to life like Freak S. Forestier-Casapi, and Ochslin brings it to life.

From the beginning, the Freak collection has been about rethinking the traditional design of movements, and just over 20 years later, Ulysse Nardin still manages to surprise us all. Like the shimmering waters that sailors can see under a full moon at sea, the aventurine glass on the dial recalls Ulysse Nardin’s long nautical relationship. Against this striking, shiny dark blue backdrop, the Freak X showcases its unconventional way of telling time without resorting to hands. As with other Freak X models, the minutes are indicated by a rectangular hour disc with an ultra-light oversized silicon balance wheel (light blue). A rotating and recessed wheel indicates the hours. The indexes on the dial and flange, the gold tip of the central bridge serving as the minute hand, and the hour wheel are all coated with Super-LumiNova.replica Richard Mille RM 67

The complex structure of the 43mm Freak X case combines blue PVD-coated titanium components and rose gold elements, with vertical brushed surfaces and polished bevels. In an effort to keep costs down without sacrificing the Freak's iconic design, the manufacturer created a new automatic "flying carousel" movement with a rectangular movement that incorporated the UN-118 and UN-250 calibers. Introduced in 2019 for the entry-level Freak X, the UN-230 movement is a simpler, more traditional movement. The balance, escape wheel, balance spring and armature are made of lightweight silicon, while the minute hand of the balance is fitted with nickel weights and stabilizing microblades. Frequency is 3 Hz/21,600 vibrations per hour and the drum offers a reliable 72-hour power reserve.

The Ulysse Nardin Freak X Aventurine comes with a blue alligator leather strap with light gray stitching and a blue PVD titanium folding clasp.replica Jacob & Co astronomia tourbillon
