Description
The UR-FREAK is a limited-edition reimagining of Ulysse Nardin’s Freak, considered by many to be one of the most important contemporary contributions to horology. The UR-FREAK was designed in collaboration with the imaginative minds of two pioneering independent Swiss watchmakers. URWERK and Ulysse Nardin who are vanguards in their own respect and worked together for the first time to create the UR-FREAK.
- The first collaboration between URWERK and Ulysse Nardin.
- Mechanics define the design: fusion of the iconic wandering hour satellite of URWERK and the Ulysse Nardin Freak.
- Ulysse Nardin’s Freak rotates the movement to tell the time; URWERK’s hour satellite bends mechanics and reshapes our perception of time itself.
- Two complex mechanisms are fused into a single, fully integrated, in-house caliber.
- New fully integrated, in-house movement combining a 3-hour rotating carousel with an hour satellite display.
- Best of technology: integration of Ulysse Nardin’s Grinder® system, DiamonSil and silicon technology, first introduced by Ulysse Nardin into watchmaking in 2001, prior to any other watchmaker.
