Ulysse Nardin embarks on a remarkable journey as it celebrates two significant milestones in 2026: 180 years of horological legacy and 25 years of the FREAK. This year promises to be a testament to innovation, marked by the introduction of the reengineered FREAK X and the new UN-232 calibre.
The FREAK X
The FREAK X emerges as a more compact and advanced iteration of its predecessor, designed for daily wear without sacrificing its distinctive identity. This timepiece is a harmonious blend of high horology and cutting-edge technology, featuring a screw-down crown and water resistance of up to 100 meters.
Technical Specifications
The FREAK X boasts a 41 mm diameter, a power reserve of 72 hours, and is crafted from 80% recycled steel. The hour disc is available in various finishes, including blue satin sunburst, grey sandblasted, and black sandblasted, depending on the model. Each variant is complemented by an integrated steel bracelet or calfskin leather strap, enhancing its versatility.
Vampirsky take
In the realm of horology, the FREAK X stands as a testament to Ulysse Nardin’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. As we witness the evolution of this iconic timepiece, it serves as a reminder that true craftsmanship transcends time, much like the legacy it celebrates.
