Ulysse Nardin Freak S 2513-500LE-2A-BLACK-5N/1A

Ulysse Nardin Freak S Automatic with Dual DiamonSil Adjustment System

The famous Ulysse Nardin Freak collection gets a new high-tech member in 2022 with the beautiful Ulysse Nardin Freak S. The watch includes a new Freak movement with a system consisting of two silicon-based balance wheels arranged through a novel differential system with a "vertical" design. The system was apparently first developed in collaboration with Ms. Carole Forestier Kasapi (Cartier luminary, now at TAG Heuer), and later with the distinguished Mr. Ludwig Oechslin, who completed the mechanism for Ulysse Nardin and was involved in many Work.

Does this new double-balanced system add functionality or practical value to the timekeeping mechanism? Um, uh, you see... no. It doesn't add utility, but it does add emotion and visual animation. High-end watches like the Freak S are small mechanical circuses on the wrist. They're designed to dazzle, entertain and help the wearer's imagination soar. They are not always used to do traditional things, such as improving timekeeping accuracy or adding new information display capabilities. From a design standpoint, Ulysse Nardin says the mechanism on the dial is "similar to a spaceship with dual reactors". So, as you can see, this otherwise high-end piece of machinery is full of imaginative and playful elements.

When Ulysse Nardin first launched the Freak watch collection in 2001, the focus of the watches was on using silicon components and displaying as many movements as possible on the dial. This tradition continues on the distinctive dials of all Freak watches, which include a large minute hand that doubles as a bridge to the adjustment system, and a focus on silicon components. In this watch, silicon is used for various parts of the movement, including the visible balance wheel and hairspring. Silicon is produced in a harder, more durable way and coated with diamond material, resulting in a proprietary material that Ulysse Nardin calls DiamonSil. A few years ago, the brand tried to industrialize it and manufacture all of its silicon components, DiamonSil. I don't know all the details, but my understanding is that the cost of the process is a bit prohibitive for a large scale implementation, so the caliber UN-118 caliber (not the one in this freak) still uses DiamonSil, but that doesn't It's not all about the Ulysse Nardin movement. This makes Ulysse Nardin watches with DiamonSil both popular and exotic. Given the Freak S's $100,000 price point, I think it's entirely logical that the silicon component in the movement is DiamonSil.luxury replica watch

The movement inside the reference 2513 500LE 2A BLACK 5N/1A Freak S watch is the in-house movement UN-251 automatic winding. As with classic Freak watches, the time is set via the bezel, and the watch is manually wound via the case-back bezel. The case does not have a traditional crown, but instead has a small tab on the front of the case below the 6 o'clock position, which is lifted to allow the bezel to move and adjust the time. The movement displays the time only in hours and minutes, and has a power reserve of 72 hours. The self-winding system has the rather unfortunate name "grinder" (although once you understand the technology, you're just as confused as to how to name it). It's pretty cool in operation because it's able to put less The energy is transferred to the mainspring, and a completely different mechanical concept is used to convert the wrist movement into torque to wind the mainspring. In fact, Ulysse Nardin says that the Grinder self-winding system is about twice as efficient as a traditional pendulum self-winding system—not bad actually.

The "Spaceship" minute hand features an opposing, inclined 2.5Hz DiamonSil (with some metal weights) balance wheel and a matching DiamonSil balance spring. They are coupled with a novel-looking differential system, combining their interoperation into one output for the timing system in the movement. What's so fascinating is not what it does, but how it does it. The system is very visually pleasing as your eyes can easily begin to understand how the movement works and what drives the minute hand around the main dial. Speaking of the main dial, the dark blue aventurine dial, reference 2513 500LE 2A BLACK 5N/1A, in this Freak S limited edition debuting is reminiscent of the deep space of star points. On the periphery of the dial is a small but legible hour hand.replica swiss watches

The steady 2.5Hz (18,000 bph) frequency isn't very fast, but visually makes a case for itself, as faster frequency movement isn't always visually stimulating. With all the wear and tear on this movement, one does wonder about service intervals. In a sense, you won't really know until enough people start wearing these watches on a regular basis. So is the joy of trying to industrialize and perfect all these brand new micromechanical systems all the time.

Ulysse Nardin made it clear that the limited release version of this Freak S is just the beginning, and future iterations will come. The debut model will be limited to 75 pieces, but only 40 of them will be produced in 2022, the first year of production. The Freak S is 45mm wide, water-resistant to 30 meters, and has a box-shaped sapphire crystal above the tall dial. The case is mainly made of black ceramic, with some black DLC-coated titanium and 18k rose gold for visual effects and parts such as the bezel. This is a new case design for Ulysse Nardin, and it will be fun to try on. Steep lugs and a masculine design look comfortable, and the edgy design is a bit like a Roger Dubuis Excaliber crossed with a TAG Heuer Carrera.Replica Ulysse Nardin Watches

I look forward to learning about this new Freak technology and the Freak look from Ulysse Nardin.
