The Freak ONE NAVY BLUE, a core collection piece in an alluring deep indigo that nods to both the brand’s history as creator of the world’s finest marine chronometers and its disruptive force pioneering contemporary watchmaking.

A WILD HOROLOGICAL DELIGHT

Almost a quarter century ago, Ulysse Nardin changed contemporary mechanical watchmaking with the first Freak. The year was 2001 and out of the workshops of Ulysse Nardin’s historic Le Locle Maison came a watch so unexpected, it was as if it appeared out of the blue —an alien in the traditional world of Swiss Haute Horlogerie.

The material story continues in the bezel, which is made of Carbonium®, an innovative material with exceptional strength-to-lightness properties that’s produced using the same carbon fibres found in state-of-the-art aircraft wings and fuselages. In fact, Carbonium® is made using offcuts from the aircraft manufacturing process, reducing its environmental impact by 40 per cent compared to other carbon composites.

FREAK ONE

The Freak ONE was the Freak as it would have been designed and produced in the here and now. So the same principles of no dial, no hands and no crown remained, only wrapped in a black- DLCcoated titanium and rose gold case. It’s regulated by a silicon hairsp ring and an escapement treated with DIAMonSIL. Freak ONE has a Grinder® winding syst em providing 90 hours of power reserve. The Freak ONE proudly received the «Iconic Watch Prize» at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève 2023.
