Ulysse Nardin, the Leader in Timepiece Innovation, Shows its Spirit with the Freak Phantom.
The iconic Freak marked a milestone in haute horology in 2001,
revealing groundbreaking advancements in technology, design and
materials, particularly the use of silicium. The limited-edition Freak
Phantom continues the evolution of this notorious family of watches.

Ulysse Nardin is acclaimed for its thousands of “firsts” in
watchmaking, and the launch of the 2001 Freak turned the industry upside
down and positioned Ulysse Nardin in a realm all its own. The
implementation of silicium was one of the Freak’s hallmarks.
Due to the unconventional design of the Freak’s tourbillon carrousel –
one that possessed no traditional dial, crown or hands – and being the
first timepiece to successfully present escapement wheels constructed of
silicium, the Freak forever changed the course of haute horology. The
Freak Phantom pays tribute to the revolutionary Freak by expanding its
use of silicium and taking its tourbillon to new heights.

Covert-like in appearance, the Freak Phantom is a timepiece of true
invention. A limited edition of 99, it uses silicium in its patented
hairspring (Si 1.1.1.) and throughout the majority of its escapement.
The entire movement of the Freak Phantom, including the oscillator, is
produced in house and offers a lengthy power reserve of more than eight
days.

Its performance is enhanced through its application of cutting-edge
technology in the two ball-bearing systems; the balance-wheel concept
and design; and the flying tourbillon that indicates the minutes with a
tourbillon carrousel that does one complete rotation around the center
in 60 minutes.
The cage of the Freak Phantom is equipped with an arrow indicating the
seconds on a transparent half-circle, rotating in one minute on itself,
with the zero position holding steady on the axis of the minute
indicator. 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.

Simple and user-friendly, the Freak Phantom can be wound by turning the
lower bezel, and the time can be adjusted by turning the upper bezel;
while the direct gear link crafted between the three “hands” averts
dephasing, or the throwing of hours, minutes and seconds out of step
when adjusting or readjusting time.
Complementing its exacting function is its confident style. Boldly
masculine, its movement, presented in a shade of black, conveys an
identity of silent strength, while its 18-karat rose-gold case reveals
optimal elegance. It is a juxtaposition of ingenuity and beauty,
carrying on the unexpected character of the Freak collection.
