Today we look at the Ulysse Nardin Freak Diavolo “Only Watch 2011″
edition. This watch is another evolution of the iconic “Freak” that
was first introduced by Ulysse Nardin in 2001. The originally Freak was
revolutionary at the time in that it possessed no true dial, crown or
hands, and was the first timepiece to successfully present escapement
wheels constructed of silicium. The Freak Diavolo “Only Watch” pays
tribute to — and advances upon — the original Freak’s pioneering spirit.
Silicum is used throughout most of the escapement, and the watch also
features a flying tourbillon that indicates the seconds, among other
technical advancements. Note also the lack of a crown — the Freak
Diavolo is wound by turning the lower bezel, and the time is adjusted by
turning the upper bezel.

Unique Piece
44.5mm stainless steel case, 60-second tourbillon
The two specially conceived ball bearing systems enable the “flying”
function of the minute movement and of the seconds-indicator tourbillon
without the need for a supporting bridge.
