The Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel Seddiqi continues the Freak legacy, blending traditional métiers d’art with avant-garde horology. This limited-edition timepiece, celebrating the partnership with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, elevates the Freak X collection with intricate craftsmanship.
The Freak X Enamel maintains the signature "no-dial, no-hands" design, housing the innovative UN 230 automatic movement. This 43mm grey titanium case, water-resistant up to 50 meters, features sapphire crystals on both sides. Unlike its predecessors, it includes a traditional crown for setting adjustments.
Powered by the UN 230 calibre, the watch boasts a 72-hour power reserve. Its defining feature, the baguette-shaped carousel, rotates hourly, displaying the time with a silicon escapement and a large silicon balance wheel equipped with nickel flyweights and stabilizing microblades. The central bridge functions as the minute hand, while a decorated mainplate serves as the hour disc, rotating twice daily.
The highlight is the hour disc, crafted from gold with a wave-like guilloché pattern, coated in "Yas Blue" enamel inspired by the Arabian Gulf. This enamel undergoes multiple kiln firings at 800 degrees Celsius, creating a luminous finish. Enhanced visibility in low light is ensured by Super-LumiNova-coated hour markers and minute indicators.
Completed with a textured black rubber strap and a titanium folding buckle, this exclusive piece is limited to 30 units, available solely through Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons in the UAE.
