The Freak was the first timepiece to present successfully escapement wheels made with silicium that changed the course of haute horology forever. “…the upper bridge, fitted with the balance wheel assembly and its revolutionary Dual Direct Escapement, revolves once every hour indicating the minutes. During its 60 minute rotation, the upper bridge lays bare the mechanics of time. The center axis pivots in the sapphire crystal of the watch case... In other Tourbillons, the balance wheel assembly moves once every minute in a cage. In the Freak, the whole movement, including the balance wheel assembly, rotates once an hour inside the watch case." – Ulysse Nardin Please PM or email me (baciespo AT gmail DOT com).
