Ulysse Nardin New Releases for 2022

Freak S

　Released in 2001, the Freak attracted attention for its unique structure. Its central carousel mechanism, which rotates the movement itself, dual direct escapement, and adoption of silicon parts have had a major impact on the world of luxury watches. This latest model is an updated version of the automatic Freak Vision. The movement, comprised of a glowing blue double oscillator, bridges, two balance wheels, and other components, is organized into a spaceship-like form.

Freak X Aventurine

　Unusually for a Freak model that features a bezel for time adjustment and winding, the Freak X features a crown similar to that of a regular watch. As its name suggests, this model features a blue aventurine dial. The central rotating movement serves as the minute hand, evoking the image of a ship sailing on a sparkling aventurine sea, or a spaceship taking off into space. The strap is made of blue alligator leather to match the dial color. This model will be produced in a limited run of only 99 pieces.

Blast Moonstruck

This astronomical clock was developed with the help of Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, who also created the "Astrolabium Galileo Galilei" and other "astronomical trilogy" watches. The domed sapphire crystal in the center of the dial features a micro-engraved image of the Earth. Surrounding it are the Moon and Sun, faithfully recreating the relative positions of each celestial body and the phases of the moon. The outer periphery of the dial features the codes of 24 major cities and a 24-hour display ring, and it also features a world timer function.
