Ulysse Nardin Illuminates the Freak S with Flinqué Enamel
Ulysse Nardin has revealed a new take on its flagship complication, the Freak S Enamel, now offered with a silvery titanium case and with the choice of either red or turquoise translucent flinqué enamel over an engine-turned guilloché dial. While mechanically unchanged, the cleaner case design and high-gloss dial plate transform the overall visual impression and intensify the focus on the central carousel, which serves as both the time display and the heart of the movement.
Ulysse Nardin’s Entry-Level Freak in Crystalium
The latest iteration of Ulysse Nardin’s most affordable Freak is the Freak X Crystalium, a limited edition that blends the disruptive Freak aesthetic with a novel decorative element in the form of a dial in Crystalium. Though it has an almost organic look, Crystalium is actually the result of crystallised ruthenium deposited via physical vapour deposition (PVD). The advanced, unusual material is decorative, yet harks back to the Freak’s origins as a materials pioneer.
Ulysse Nardin’s Blast Free Wheel Dressed in German Silver
Ulysse Nardin presents a surprisingly striking new version of its most forward-thinking tourbillon, the Blast Free Wheel Maillechort. An interesting blend of classic finishing and bold, three-dimensional architecture, the limited edition piece is unlike the generally future-forward aesthetic pushed by Ulysse Nardin in recent years.
ULYSSE NARDIN: A BLAST FROM THE PAST
For nearly 200 years, Ulysse Nardin—an independent and fully integrated Swiss watchmaker—has continuously reimagined mechanical horology. Relentless in its innovation, the brand finds ever more surprising ways to capture time in a portable, mesmerizing form. Its philosophy is simple yet daring: only by striving for the impossible can the extraordinary be achieved.
The Entry-Level Ulysse Nardin Freak Gains a Grand Feu Enamel Dial
Ulysse Nardin gives its most affordable Freak a new look with a blue flinqué enamel dial and rose gold case. The brand has launched three other Freaks with enamel dials over the past two years, but all were small-run, retailer-exclusive limited editions. The Freak X Gold Enamel, on the other hand, is not retailer-specific and will be limited to 120 examples. The watch puts Ulysse Nardin’s investments in silicon fabrication and dial making to good use, and with good results.
WHAT A 52-GRAM DIVE WATCH LOOKS LIKE: Ulysse Nardin's Diver [Air]
The fundamental features of a mechanical dive watch are rather simple: A high water-resistance rating, good visibility under low-light conditions, and perhaps even a rotating bezel for decompression times (they use dive computers for that now). To Ulysse Nardin, who has been designing dive watches for the last six decades, offering the same-old isn't good enough, especially in a category that isn't short on attractive buy-ins.
The Ulysse Nardin Blast Amoureuxpeintre Conceals the “X”
A monochromatic reinterpretation of Ulysse Nardin’s skeleton watch with a prominent “X”, the Blast “Amoureuxpeintre” is a collaboration with Vsevolod “Sever” Cherepanov, a Kyrgyz streetwear designer also known as Amoureuxpeintre who was one of the first to use augmented reality prints on fabric.
Hands On: Ulysse Nardin Freak One Navy Blue
Ulysse Nardin has been breathing new life into its flagship Freak collection for the past several years, and the latest model to benefit from this focus is the Freak One Navy Blue, featuring a blue dial that pays homage to the original Freak from 2001. And that’s fitting, because the Freak One collection is a retelling of the story, imagining what the Freak would look like if it were to debut in the present day.
Ulysse Nardin Unveils Freak X with Grand Feu Enamel Dial
Ulysse Nardin’s entry-level Freak has been dressed up with a flinque enamel dial in a limited edition for Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the Middle East’s most prominent luxury watch retailer. The Freak X Enamel Seddiqi features a “Yas Blue” guilloché enamel dial with the signature carousel carrying an oversized oscillator and silicon escapement that acts as a minute hand. The Freak X is a descendent of the original Freak, but simplified for user-friendliness and affordability.

Ulysse Nardin Introduces Military-Inspired Diver Ops
Ulysse Nardin just dropped the Diver Net OPS and Diver X Skeleton OPS, a pair of military-inspired sports watches made from sustainable materials. Dressed in olive drab and black, the two watches utilise recycled steel and carbon composites, and even nylon straps made from fishing nets. Though the emphasis on sustainability and styling are clearly modern, the basis of the watches is historical: the design is modelled on the shipborne marine chronometers Ulysse Nardin was once famous for.
The Ulysse Nardin Freak – The Saga of a Scientific Timepiece Part III | SJX Watches
An outlandish concept that originally sprang from the mind of Carole Forestier Kasapi, the Ulysse Nardin Freak of 2001 was improved by Dr Ludwig Oechslin and then made reality thanks to the advent of silicon in watchmaking. Lightweight and magnetism resistant, silicon was used for the escape wheels but that was only the beginning of the story.
The Ulysse Nardin Freak – The Saga of a Scientific Timepiece Part II | SJX Watches
Having explored the origins of the Ulysse Nardin Freak, from its concept by Carole Forestier Kasapi to its realisation by Dr Ludwig Oechslin, we now turn to the more recent innovations centred on this significant watch, almost all of which have culminated in the Freak S of 2022. The evolution began with the Dual Ulysse Escapement, a new and improved version of the Dual Direct escapement in the original 2001 model.
The Ulysse Nardin Freak – The Saga of a Scientific Timepiece Part I | SJX Watches
Novel ways of telling the time or exhibiting the movement have long been the focus of the avant-garde horologists. Independent watchmakers like Ressence or Urwerk have built their brands on doing away with conventional hands. Such idiosyncratic approaches to watchmaking challenge the traditions of horology, making for a more interesting horological landscape. But well before Urwerk came onto the scene, there was the Ulysse Nardin Freak.
Up Close: Ulysse Nardin Blast Hourstriker
One of Ulysse Nardin’s more obscure models, the Blast Hourstriker is one of the brand’s most interesting watches from a technical perspective. It’s equipped with an in-house, self-winding tourbillon movement plus a hour-striking mechanism on top. And concealed on the back is an amplification system developed with the help of Devialet, the French maker of high-end speakers that was coincidentally founded by a member of the Nardin family that once controlled the eponymous brand.
Select PlayStation Plus Members Can Purchase The Adidas x Marvel Spider-Man Ultra 4D Advanced Ahead Of Launch

Claire Foy, Cara Delevingne and Rosamund Pike Attend Dior Haute Couture Show

Steven Passaro Men’s Fall 2022
Steven Passaro wanted to evoke the feeling of hypersensibility in his collection, titled “We Feel Things They’ll Never Feel,” a phrase that he’d been mulling over since he spotted it scrawled in London’s subway. Tailoring forms the bedrock of his label, but in an earlier interview, Passaro said he wanted to apply it to men’s wear in a way that “ultimately negates the notion of gender” in a garment.
Louis Gabriel Nouchi Gets Sweaty in a Nightclub for Fall 2022
The starting point of Louis Gabriel Nouchi’s fall collection was “Artificial Paradises,” an essay on the creative process under drugs by French poet Charles Baudelaire, which led the Parisian designer to think about what today’s ultimate escape would be. “Right now, nightclubs, a place to escape from the everyday, where you dance, you sweat and then you stumble out, trying to put your coat on and flagging a taxi at the same time,” Nouchi said backstage.

Officine Générale Men’s Fall 2022
