Urwerk and Ulysse Nardin Unveil the UR-Freak: The Epitome of Unique Horological Mastery
For the first time in history, innovative watchmakers Urwerk and Ulysse Nardin have united their extraordinary design languages to present the UR-Freak. This intriguing timepiece represents true synergistic craftsmanship, combining the distinct aesthetics and mechanical prowess of both brands.
At the heart of this unique watch is a silicon oscillator that’s 25% larger than the standard Freak versions, matched with Urwerk’s trademark satellite hour display. Together these components create an organized chaos that is both captivating and novel. The watch is also fitted with the Grinder system for automatic winding and offers the option of manual winding through the caseback.
The UR-Freak’s case measures 44mm and exhibits a sandblasted titanium finish with fluted bezel elements - a nod to Urwerk’s aesthetic lexicon. Fittingly, the watch follows Freak’s legacy of sans-crown design, using a rotating bezel for time-setting instead.
The UR-Freak, priced at $122,200, represents more than just an ambitious collaboration. It underscores the fact that horological innovation thrives on the daring experimentations and daring partnerships. This triumphant collaboration has set the stage for exciting more partnerships, which watch enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate.
