2012 and the first new Orange of the year!
Hi All,
Well its now 2012 and after a couple of months wait, my new baby 'Devil' was delivered to me last week in Geneva... so I thought I would share a few photos of it. I am sure those who know me will not be surprised that it is orange and of course not your normal conventional watch, but this one is a lot smaller than my other machines! I think it fits in well with the others in my collection and maybe is a little more on the classical side, but overall am pleased with the way it turned out.
The bad news is that it has to go back for some alterations but it is staying firmly on my wrist until the factory has the parts ready to do the job.
What do you think?
Cheers
Andrew

Lovely, sharp photos...
...of a very lovely piece unique. Congratulations! So, tell us: what is it with 'orange'? Cheers, pplater.
I just like orange...
Thanks pplater, I have no idea about the orange, I have always liked the colour but never really considered it as my favourite. It goes back to the first unique piece I had made and was asked what colour do you want it in... I thought about many different...
Congrats!
I think it suits you very much! What a freak!
Thanks Patrick...
I guess... not normally considered to be a freak... but a diavolo is ok I guess...
Is envy allowed here?
1/1, wow! Lucky you. I prefer the color combination of the RS, or the Diavolo, but a FREAK would look awesome even in pink or the ugliest (to my eyes) color available. Congratulations! Love it. Vte
Thank you
Vte, I regularly drool at the screen at all the beautiful watches on here... so I guess that envy is an acceptable practice for a Purist?! lol I think it is lacking the punch of the RS or the regular diavolo, so one of the things it is going back for is t...
I think I am madly in love with it.
As you might know, I am the happy owner of the Freak One, but I am such a Freak Lover than I even consider getting this Diavolo! What a watch, what an evolution from the " One "! Congratulations, Andrew... You will not see life in the same way, anymore. B...
Thanks Nicolas
I was an early purchaser of a freak with the blue phantom and loved that watch. Unfortunately at the time it never got worn so it moved on... this one is with me to stay! I think the originals still hold something special and will also be the ones that br...
The only problem is that you opened another box, now.
A kind of Pandora's box... Which will lead you to consider other U.N watches, and there are some very intesresting and appealing ones! Have an excellent journey! Best, Nicolas
Lol
Nicolas... You are now being the devil! As long as my next UN looks good in orange...
Fantastic!
Congratulations Andrew! The orange works very well with this watch. It was a lot of fun to spend some time with you during the week. We should do it again some time.
Definitely
Sounds good Allen and it was great to meet you too. Look forward to the next occasion if not before (Basel??) maybe same time next year!! Cheers Andrew
Andrew, you have already heard my opinion on that baby...
...but I'll go public and say I love it! It'll be even better after the 'upgrades'. Well done!
You little rascal ...
Its a beauty and thanks for the ...preview in Geneva. It complements your collection so well my friend....in case you get bored ...you know where I am. Hope to see you soon. Mo
:-)
Hi Mo, Glad you liked the preview evening of the new UN and am just glad it got home in one piece that evening still in my bag! If I get bored of it my friend which is very unlikely... hmmm I will let you know ;-) Cheers Andrew
My dear Friend, with all due respect to your other special creations...
This one is tops!! NO comparison in my eyes. You have hit the motherload. Please, keep us posted with this one. It is amazing. Sincerest Congrats Andrew.
Thanks Michael
I know you are a UN fan so thought you would like this one. I would not rate it above some of the other oranges but it is different and on a par in my eyes. It feels great on the wrist and getting used to a smaller watch is a little unusual for me... Chee...
Makes a great watch
Look amazing, and I agree with whoever above said it is the best of the zest... Orange zest! Gary
huge congratulations Andrew
being an ex owner of a Freak 1 i know how special they are and can only be extremely happy for you about this aquisition. yep, its gotta go back for work, but thats the way of things with Freaks and other concept pieces. enjoy it in the very best of healt...
Thanks Graham!
I did miss my original Freak so when the option on this one came up I just had to take it! Its nothing too serious and the guys at UN seem to be doing their best to make sure it all turns out right. Will keep you guys posted when they have done the 'upgra...
sensational
the Diavolo is such an impressive piece, and to have a unique version like that is wonderful! Thanks for the great closeups, congrats, Andreas
Wow
I originally read your post back in late January, and I have to tell you I can't get this watch off my mind. Your little "Devil" is amazing and the color variations that you've selected are magnificent. Top it off with a 1 of 1 plate and you now officiall...
