Ulysse Nardin Introduces the Freak X Second Generation Watch <p>Smaller, but Better.</p> <p>The second-generation Ulysse Nardin (UN) Freak X watch embodies the concept of "small but perfectly formed," featuring a new micro-rotor movement that powers the Freak collection's iconic "flying carousel" caliber. This new movement debuts in a smaller 41mm stainless steel case and comes with a interchangeable strap system.</p> <p>The new Freak X watch boasts many commendable features. It retains UN's signature "flying carousel" tourbillon structure and houses a new micro-rotor movement, upgraded with the brand's exclusive DiamonSil escapement. The new watch is significantly smaller than its predecessor and offers enhanced water resistance thanks to the collection's first screw-down crown.</p> <p>The interchangeable strap system provides a wider range of strap options, including a stainless steel bracelet.</p> <p>Some may lament the downgrade from titanium to steel, but given the smaller case size, this is a relatively minor issue, and a titanium version is almost certain to be released in the future.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.moon-watch.co.uk/ulysse-nardin-freak-watches-c-101_104.html">replica Ulysse Nardin Freak X</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.moon-watch.co.uk">best replica watches</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.moon-watch.co.uk/jacob-and-co-c-8.html">jacob and co replica</a></strong></p> <p>Smaller, But Better</p> <p>25 years ago, the Freak watch burst onto the scene, stunning the industry with its innovative structure that integrated the entire time train and escapement into a single large minute hand. While the Freak X simplifies the design concept slightly, incorporating the time train into the dial where the hour hand is located, the overall appearance remains largely unchanged.</p> <p>One of the most striking design elements of the original Freak watch was the absence of a crown—the watch was wound via the case back and adjusted via the bezel. The simplified Freak X adopts a more traditional structure and features a standard crown at 3 o'clock, thus downplaying this design element.</p> <p>The new Freak X retains the crown, but now features a screw-down design to achieve 100-meter water resistance. The crown screws down into a stainless steel case, now reduced from 43mm to 41mm, and the lug spacing has also been shortened to a more comfortable 47.3mm.</p> <p>The case thickness is 13.6mm, roughly between the thinnest version of the previous generation and the version with the art dial (13.78mm). The new box-shaped sapphire crystal absorbs some of the thickness, making it appear even slimmer.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.perfectwrist.ru">perfect watches review</a></strong> </p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.perfectwrist.co/richard-mille-watches-c-24.html">replica Richard Mille watches</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.perfectwrist.co/ulysse-nardin-watches-c-103.html">ulysse nardin replica watches</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <p>A damn miniature rotor</p> <p>Although the movement model name has changed slightly—the previous automatic movement was named UN-230—the UN-232 is quite different. The most significant change is the adoption of a jewel-bearing miniature rotor, which differs from most other miniature rotor designs in that it has a supporting bridge above it.</p> <p>This design is reminiscent of certain vintage Universal Geneve movements, such as the 12P, and recent automatic movements by designers like Laurent Ferrier and Romain Gauthier.</p> <p>This movement still uses a mainspring barrel, but by Freak standards, the barrel is rather ordinary. This structure is quite different from the flagship Freak, which occupies almost the entire width of the movement to house a large mainspring barrel.</p> <p>In other words, the upgraded Freak X shares more substantial similarities with its "big brother" in some aspects, such as its DiamonSil escapement. The DiamonSil escapement features a diamond-coated silicon escape wheel and integrated escape fork. The DiamonSil coating is a completely new design for the Freak X—previous versions only used uncoated silicon components.</p> <p>This component transfers energy to a silicon balance wheel mounted on the brand's most advanced oval silicon hairspring, which is carefully designed to improve isochronism.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.whereguidewatch.com">fake luxury watches</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.whereguidewatch.com">high quality fake watches</a></strong> </p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.whereguidewatch.com/jacob-co-c-4.html">replica jacob and co Astronomia watches</a></strong></p> <p>Interestingly, UN claims that each of its movements is assembled from start to finish by a single watchmaker, a stark contrast to the increasingly prevalent assembly line production methods. While assembly line production can increase output and reduce costs, it is difficult to reconcile with the romantic ideals of haute horlogerie.
