The 30-piece limited-edition Freak X Enamel Seddiqi marries métiers d’art techniques with state-of-the-art watchmaking, and celebrates the partnership between elite Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin and Ahmed Seddiqi, the Middle East ’s leading luxury watch retailer.
Worlds Collide
Coloured in blue enamel to echo the piercing electric blue of the evening sky as the sun sets over the waters of the Gulf of Arabia, the Freak X Enamel Seddiqi’s hour disc is the work of very skilled artisans at Ulysse Nardin’s Donzé Cadrans Manufacture in Le Locle and the result of a complex, painstaking process.

The Freak X Enamel Seddiqi is based on the design and movement properties of a 21st century watchmaking icon, Ulysse Nardin’s Freak, which rewrote the horological rulebook when it was introduced in 2001 by pioneering the use of silicon technology in watchmaking. The exclusive new watch builds on the timeless story of the Freak’s ‘no hands and no dial’ movement architecture, and tells it afresh with an exquisite guilloché and enamelled hour disc that highlights Ulysse Nardin’s mastery of métiers d’art.
A FREAK EVENT
The Freak took its name from the maverick, disruptive, rulebreaking spirit that spawned it and quickly became known for its daring aesthetic, unconventional functionality and wild technical innovation. In time, it would become a flagship for Ulysse Nardin, and a new icon for Swiss watchmaking, recognised all over the world and revered by collectors. There’s still nothing quite like the Freak.
