Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel Blue

Ulysse Nardin best quality replica watches continue to enrich the Freak X model series, launching a new reference with a blue enamel guilloché dial.

Freak became an icon when it first launched in 2001. We were there and covering the event at Baselworld. The initial reaction was one of shock and awe. It was a watch launched in 2001 that was so different from other watches in the industry that the creators had to name it “The Freak.” It's so weird. It has no dial, no hands, and the movement itself is designed as an hour and minute indicator. It has no crown, so the time is set by turning the sector bezel and wound by turning the rear bezel. It was way ahead of its time. We reviewed the 10th Anniversary Freak back in 2013, when the watch was launched as a manual winding model, and in 2018, UN released the Freak Vision equipped with a new Grinder automatic winding system.

Then in 2019, UN launched Freak X . It's considered an entry-level model and is priced at a fraction of the Freak Vision. However, many of the original's iconic design details have changed. Gone are the weird front and rear bezels. In its place is a centuries-old and very traditional crown. The obvious nipple on the sapphire glass that houses the movement pivot has disappeared. Well, this bump in the glass disappeared after the first few years and was replaced by smooth glass, which was never the case with the Vision model. The automatic winding system of the grinder is installed in place. Some people hate Freak X. And many others, perhaps too young to experience the original Freak, embraced it.

In this novel version, Freak X has been updated and upgraded. UN’s latest version features a blue enamel guilloché dial by Donzé Cadrans, thanks to its ownership of one of the most accomplished Grand Feu enamel makers in the industry. This dial is absolutely gorgeous. Blue enamel floats on the surface of the guilloche dial, shining beautifully. replica Urwerk

First launched in 2001, Freak revolutionized watchmaking and continues to push boundaries. There is no dial, no hands, the movement is king because it tells the time. In fact, this is the first time that a movement has been deconstructed to express time alone. With the new Freak X Enamel Blue, Ulysse Nardin’s independent integrated manufacturing combines ancient craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. In-house know-how maintained by Ulysse Nardin craftsmen is perfectly integrated with Haute Horlogerie.

The special feature of the new Freak luxury replica Watches is undoubtedly its enamel dial. A decorative technique that has been continued and passed down from generation to generation of craftsmen; today, enamel is used only on watches produced by the most prestigious watchmakers. This technique is rare throughout the process, given the exquisite delicacy with which all the enameler's movements from preparing the enamel to applying it are carried out. Since it requires talent, knowledge and experience, only a handful of craftsmen are able to master it.

Ulysse Nardin’s Donzé Cadrans manufacturing factory in Le Locle retains this outstanding expertise. This novel dial is first treated with guilloche technique. The application of this ancient technique brings a modern touch to the dial, thanks to the realization of geometric lines. This base is then painted with several coats of water-based enamel paint. In fact, first crush the tooth enamel with a pestle and then add water. The layers of color are dried in an oven at about 800 degrees, requiring only a minute of cooling between each layer. Three to four coats of colored enamel and at least five oven cycles are required before the final coat of translucent enamel (called "fondant") is applied. This layer is crucial because the outcome of the process depends on it. replica jacob and co astronomia sky

As the guardian of professional enamel technology, Ulysse Nardin once again plays an important role in the past, present and future of haute horlogerie. Expertise and savoir-faire in ancient crafts such as enamel are blended with Freak’s innovative and disruptive signature and codes.

The Freak X Enamel Blue features an automatic movement that is manually wound and set via the crown. The UN-230 Manufacture movement features a flying carousel that automatically rotates once an hour to indicate the time. The balance wheel and escapement are both made of silicon, a technology Ulysse Nardin has mastered since 2001. The watch has a gray titanium case and case back, has a 72-hour power reserve, and is 43 mm in diameter. Comes with a blue alligator leather strap, white stitching and titanium folding clasp. replica Richard Mille watches ​
