@UlysseNardinOfficial #UlysseNardin #MONOCHROMEwatches Twenty-five years after disrupting the watch industry with the original Freak, the experimental horological vision of Rolf Schnyder and Ludwig Oechslin, Ulysse Nardin continues to evolve the Freak's legacy. The latest chapter in the storied history of the groundbreaking watch is called Super Freak, and it's quite possible the most complicated time-only wristwatch in the world. We talk to Matthieu Haverlan, Managing Director for Ulysse Nardin, about what the Freak means for the company and industry, as well as learning more about the Super Freak. And to say it's impressive is an understatement: 511 components, twin-inclined tourbillon regulators, the world's smallest mechanical gimbal for the running seconds indicator (a first for the Freak!) and more.
