That UN Freak is so much avantgarde.. Futuristic, yet a bit "crazy" appeal.. :)

What comes to my mind:
- extraordinary, somewhat eclectic, but also with a futuristic balance
One tends to have at least one secondary look, a look to understand the concept & layout,
a look to be submerged into the fascination of such a time-piece,
a process, which may take some time, I suppose..

And maybe it requires some add'l "courage" to wear such a "thing",
letting you & yours around enjoy the card of the unusual !

Also amazing, how effortlessly this one blends into a classical
environment, such as the Bourgogne.
- Avantgarde style, how well the unusual mix blends into " historic"
or landscape backdrop. - No matter how " daring", great match, IMO... And, last but not least, that deep blue colour indeed is special.

Thx for sharing this "freaky Goddess" !

Best, hs

PS:
Truly like your Vintage Car, the Volvo P 1800 (?),
- although I have to say, that with your splendid new V. convertible, it has been
a lot of fun, to cruise around to a relaxing spot..

2014 Ulysse Nardin Freak Summer Shots.

By: amanico : July 20th, 2014-23:18

I took a few watches with me, for this week end outside Paris. And the Freak was one of them. I wanted to see how the encounter between a futuristic Watch and a very classic environment could work. I am convinced. Pictures taken at the Chateau de Gilly, i...

A captivatnig Watch, I can confirm. Somewhere between Art and Horology. All the best, Nicolas.

A Freak is an all seasons watch. (nt)

great choice Nico!! I love that blue dial. Is it the UN shade of blue ??

Typically UN, indeed. Thanks, my friend. [nt]

IMHO best wristwatch ever from UN

By: Goldenlutin : July 22nd, 2014-10:46

IMHO probably the best wristwatch UN ever made! A founding watch for UN, even more, again IMHO, than La Trilogie du Temps. Well, add to this a UN wristwatch with Peseux 260 [yes, they exist as a wristwatch:) ], a ship chronometer, a nice chronometer rattr...

I am desperately hunting this Peseux 260 version...

By: amanico : July 22nd, 2014-11:08

So, I can only agree... As for the ship chronometer, yes, also in my wish list. They have some nice vintage chronos, too. As for the modern register, the Sonata is not bad, either. ;) Best, GL. Nicolas
