In recent days, Ulysse Nardin has released the FREAK Do you want to know why this limited edition watch has caused such a stir in the watch collecting world? Then read on to see what its unique charm is!
FREAK X watch
On June 5, Ulysse Nardin released its new FREAK The public price of the FREAK
As a representative of cutting-edge watch brands, Ulysse Nardin has always been famous for its difficult watchmaking technology and unique design concepts. On the FREAK X watch, we not only see the watchmaking technology of Ulysse Nardin, but also appreciate its unique and cutting-edge design.
The base material of the entire watch is made of 22K rose gold, which is rare in the entire watch industry. Although many brands on the market also use 18K rose gold as the base material of watches, 22K rose gold is obviously inferior to 18K in hardness. The reason why Ulysse Nardin chooses 22K rose gold as the base material of the FREAK X watch is to ensure that the watch will not deform during the high-temperature firing process. After all, the temperature during the production of the enamel plate is quite high.
And we know that traditional enamel craftsmanship has been used in the production of pocket watches since the 17th century. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and almost all of it requires craftsmen to complete it by hand. The difficulty can be imagined.
The breakthrough in movement technology of Ulysse Nardin’s FREAK
It is reported that Donzé Cadrans SA can provide more than 50,000 enamel plates to Ulysse Nardin every year, and the entire market share is only about 50%, which shows the strong influence of Ulysse Nardin in this field.
Although enamel technology has a history of more than 300 years, this is the first time for many people to see such a watch. In addition to the gorgeous colors and unique shape, the enamel plate on the FREAK X watch also has a big highlight, that is, it is machine-engraved.
In simple terms, the metal material is first made into a plate, and then a machine is used to hollow out the pattern on the plate. This not only saves a lot of manpower and material resources, but also improves the yield rate. The most important thing is that the pattern carved out by machine is more refined and more three-dimensional than hand-cut.
From this point, we can see the strength of Ulysse Nardin in difficult watchmaking technology, and at the same time, we can also feel the extraordinary quality of this watch.
Cutting-edge design
In terms of movement, the FREAK
Some people may say that there are so many such excellent movements on the market now, why do Ulysse Nardin watches attract collectors?
This starts with the watch itself. Although there are many watches with excellent movements on the market, they are not sold in limited quantities, and there are not so many watchmaking craftsmanship blessings, let alone the attractive aesthetic design.
As a cutting-edge brand, Ulysse Nardin has taken “combination of tradition and modernity” as its watchmaking concept since its inception, and the FREAK
Conclusion
Ulysse Nardin’s FREAK X watch is really a work of art, with both traditional craftsmanship and avant-garde modern design. Such a watch is worthy of collection and appreciation by every watch lover.
