The Freak is the first watch ever created where the movement rotates to tell the time. No dial, no hands, movement is king. The Freak X Carb stands out for its versatility and daily use qualities. Its 43mm aeronautic-grade Carbonium® side-parts makes it super-light and more sustainable, while its sapphire crystal case back showcases the in-house UN-230, self-winding movement. At the heart of the watch is the unique oscillator with a large diameter, which powers the flying carrousel rotating around its own axis, a signature of the Freak concept.

The original Freak had broken age-old conventions, but across two decades, it had established new ones. Could these be broken? They had to be. To make a more approachable Freak, Ulysse Nardin’s creators simplified the mechanism and added a winding and setting crown. And a next-generation Freak was born.
