Always evolving its famed Freak watch (first unveiled in 2001), Ulysse Nardin has released the Freak S Nomad this year with a mainplate created in hues of desert sands that conjure thoughts of nomadic lifestyles. The watch is the brand’s strongest, most technically advanced Freak S to date. It has a constantly moving carousel (similar in looks and function to the tourbillon escapement) that is shaped like a spaceship and is devoid of hands, dial and crown. Crafted in titanium with carbon fiber and a PVD titanium bezel for setting the time, the Freak S Nomad is equipped with two oscillators with silicon balance wheels for exceptional durability. The 373-part movement, Caliber UN-251, is also equipped with the brand’s patented proprietary Grinder winding system. Only 99 pieces will be made.
