IN-DEPTH: The full story of the Ulysse Nardin Freak, told by mastermind Ludwig Oechslin!

‪@UlysseNardinOfficial‬ #ulyssenardin #ulyssenardinfreak #monochromewatches At a time when watchmaking was still in the beginning stages of a renaissance in mechanical watchmaking, out came the revolutionary and disruptive Ulysse Nardin Freak. Invented by mastermind Ludwig Oechslin, it was a pivotal watch in the industry, pioneering many innovations. From the avant-garde crownless design to the floating carousel and rotating movement, the Freak is a poster child of horological experimentation. But the most important innovation of all was the use of silicon in the escapement, a first in the industry. We talk to the maker himself about how this revolutionary watch came to life, and how it has developed over time. --------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:44 Watchmaking in the 1990s 01:41 The Freak's Origins 03:38 Ludwich Oechslin, watchmaker & inventor 06:20 Pioneering silicon & other innovations 09:38 The Freak S 10:26 The Freak One 10:56 The Freak X --------------------------- 2024, all rights reserved to MONOCHROME Watches For more about horology, check https://monochrome-watches.com​​​​​​​ for reviews, news, collector's insights, and more.
