Ulysse Nardin Freak [X Gold Enamel]

Form and function: art as well as technology collide in the new Freak X Gold Enamel from Ulysse Nardin

In the latest Freak X, the art of enamelling stretches beyond the dial towards the components of the iconic flying carrière movement.

Whenever you think of Ulysse Nardin, you most likely think of the Freak. Released in 2001, this view revolutionized the brand and the business. It was a technological trend. It was the first to use si in the escapement (now utilized by almost every watchmaker), and its style did away with the conventional dial, hands and overhead.

Ulysse Nardin is undoubtedly a leader in development, but you might be surprised to understand that it is also an expert within craftsmanship. Since its inception, Ulysse Nardin has incorporated the ability of enamel into its designs. Right now, the Freak X Precious metal Enamel luxury replica watches completely combines these two artistic designs.

Enamel: More Pretty

Enameling is among the world’s oldest art types, dating back to around the thirteenth century BC. However , this wasn’t until the 17th millennium AD that watchmakers started to adopt the craft. Within the watchmaking world, enamelling was initially used to create dials, at first in simple solid colors (usually white, cream and sometimes black), before evolving in to bolder hues and sophisticated patterns.

Set up in the mid-19th century, Ulysse Nardin initially focused on the introduction of marine chronometers. Its experience was focused on technical accomplishments that enabled it to provide exceptional accuracy far past other nautical instruments of times. However , in these mechanical resources, form and function have always been extremely important. replica Zenith Defy Extreme Diver Shadow

“For a hundred forty years, we have been leading the way in sea timekeeping for navies all over the world, ” explains Jean-Christophe Sabatier, Chief Product Officer in Ulysse Nardin. “Enamel knobs have always been an essential part of these types of instruments, as they are not impacted by temperature changes, humidity or even UV rays. ”

However , preserving the actual ancient craft of enamelling was not the brand’s concern. It was the legendary Rolf Schnyder (former CEO associated with Ulysse Nardin) who truly doubled down on the brand’s use of the art form.

“Rolf Schnyder was devoted to reinventing Ulysse Nardin like a haute horlogerie manufacturer, ” confirms Sabatier. “He wished to revisit skills and déterminer faire that were on the brink of being lost, from blending and astrological complications in order to high-end crafts like enamelling. That’s when we began dealing with Donzé Cadrans, the earliest enamelling house. ” replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia dragon

Beyond the switch: enamelling in the movement

In 2011, Ulysse Nardin obtained Donzé Cadrans. While many do not consider enamelling to be in the middle of the brand, the brand has used the particular art form in countless versions over the years, from the delicate types of the occasionally anachronistic Classico collection to more useful applications like the Marine Torpilleur collection.

Today, we have the brand’s most recent interpretation of the art form, the brand new Freak [X Gold Enamel] watch. This particular limited edition watch requires the iconic Freak X design and style (an evolution of the initial Freak to make it more ergonomic desk, easier to wear and with a conventional crown) and adds a good enameled hour disc which showcases the craftsmanship regarding enamelling, combining guilloché along with transparent enamel.

Applying enamel to an essential part of the movement itself (i. e. a functional and relocating mechanical part) rather than a regular static dial is no imply feat. replica urwerk ur 200

“To incorporate teeth enamel, we faced three difficulties, ” explains Sabatier. “Weight, to ensure that the movement elements could function properly; dimension, to ensure that the watch remained fairly thick; and tolerances, because firing the enamel from high temperatures could cause the call to deform. ”

As a result, the Maison chose 22K rose gold (917 gold and 83 bronze) for the disc, due to its outstanding thermal stability.

The Ulysse Nardin Freak [X Gold Enamel] best replica watches had been unveiled today, featuring a 43mm case, a combination of blue PVD titanium and rose gold, along with a blue crocodile leather band.
