Introducing the first automatic watch in the Freak Collection, the Freak Vision. Incorporating the revolutionary innovations unveiled in the Ulysse Nardin InnoVision 2 Concept Watch at SIHH 2017. Among them: a super-light silicium balance wheel with nickel mass elements and stabilizing micro-blades and a new case design made even thinner by a box-domed crystal.
Time is still indicated in the "Freak" manner that sets the collection apart: by the baguette movement itself, a "flying carrousel" rotating around its own axis. Yet the design components are completely different. The new 3D carved upper bridge is inspired by a boat's hull. The new box-domed sapphire allows for a thinner middle and bezel. Finally, the entire case itself is new--horns, bezel, the rubber on the side--making for a look that is much more open and generous.
Technical Specifications:
The case, in platinum with lateral brancard side bars coated blue rubber, measures 45mm. The bezel is titanium coated blue rubber lining with 3 titanium riders for easy handling. Manual winding possible with the back bezel. Time set with the front bezel, lever lock. It has a box-domed AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and it is water resistant to 30 meters.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Ulysse-Nardin in-house caliber UN-250 with 30 jewels, 18,000 vph and a power reserve of 50 hours. Functions are: hours and minutes indicated by rotation of the movement. "Grinder" automatic movement system with pawls and flexible guidance. UN anchor constant escapement. Large diameter silicium oscillator with nickel inertia-blocks. Self-regulating silicium micro-blades. Silicium finishing gear train. Flying Carrousel (baguette movement): 1 turn in 1 hour.
It has a sapphire dial with engraved hour and minute indeces.
It comes on a rubber-like leather strap with a titanium folding clasp.
MSRP is 95,000 Swiss Francs.
Thanks.
