Swiss watch brand Ulysse Nardin is known for its revolutionary take on luxury timepieces. The Freak One is no exception. The watch, inspired by the original unveiled in 2001, is devoid of hands, crown or a dial. It is equipped with the 229-part UN-240 automatic movement with a flying carousel that rotates on its own axis and a patented Grinder winding system with 90 hours of power reserve. The time is set using the bezel, which rotates the entire movement - a mesmerizing dance to watch. There is a barrel cover beneath the movement that acts as the rotating hour disc.
