Just because it has been a long time I didn't post a photo about this watch. Linked to some sweet memories. Which adds a lot to the strong love I have for this watch. 18 years of a common life, already. Best, Nicolas ...  

Hey Vlad'...

... She's a beauty! You've had that one for a long, long time. - Scott

Yes, 18 years, that starts to count! ;)

 
By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-22:15

I remember seeing that one at..

 
By: elliot55 : July 9th, 2024-23:08
... Le Gay Lussac... which also doubles as your office

Hehehe, excellent memories. ;)

It's Been Far Too Long...

... And I am certain over there most of Europe is losing it's collective mind over what's happening over here. Hope we can see each other soon.

We are living mad times in France... Definitely. And the Olympics don't add serenity...

Ain't That The Truth...

 
By: elliot55 : July 12th, 2024-21:02
... And while I'm sure hosting the Olympics will be a boon for France... it will also be a complete pain in the cul.

More than that... Traffic is just impossible. And it will be even worse in two weeks. Till mid September... For those who work, it is a real problem.

PS: And I don't even mention the political context...

 
By: amanico : July 12th, 2024-21:05

We'll Talk Politics...

 
By: elliot55 : July 15th, 2024-22:25
... When we see each other. This isn't the time or the place, mon ami.

Yep, that's why I don't even mention it. :)

 
By: amanico : July 16th, 2024-04:47

You wear that one well my dear friend.

 
By: aperna : July 9th, 2024-22:11

Grazie, Tony.

 
By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-22:15

Terrific shots of an iconic watch.

 
By: M4 : July 9th, 2024-22:18

It really is. A watch which counts in the History of Horology.

 
By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-22:18

Interesting

 
By: E in PA : July 9th, 2024-22:33
I don’t think of you as a modern watch person per se

I am attracted by modern watches as well, mon ami. That makes two problems to have. ;)

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:23

Fits you perfect

 
By: TeutonicCarFan : July 9th, 2024-23:01
The best iteration

What I think, too.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:24

Super. 😎🥂

 
By: InHavenPro : July 9th, 2024-23:18

Merci, Filip.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:24

I don't want to work this hard to read the time...

 
By: mdg : July 9th, 2024-23:37
...this one is not bad, but the newest one is illegible...

You can get used to it quite quickly.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:25

I would not have guessed it has 18 years of life! Talk about being ahead if its time when it came out! What a creative design

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 9th, 2024-23:50

That was an UFO in 2001.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:25

Probably still is to some extent ☺️

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 10th, 2024-10:21

Superb! I really like the bezel of this version 👍🏻👍🏻

 
By: S F : July 9th, 2024-23:56

Me too. My favorite version, so far.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:25

one of a kind beauty

 
By: Gelato Monster : July 10th, 2024-00:38

Thank you, G M.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:25

I like how much redder your arm is in the first shot haha

 
By: m2 : July 10th, 2024-01:24

Sunset shot. That's why.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:22

Brash beautiful and brilliant! Are any of the subsequent variations as good? Nope. Love it! :-)

 
By: InDebtButOnTime : July 10th, 2024-03:41

Well, Michael's one is great, too.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:27

The OG . Such a great and cool watch 👌🏻😘

 
By: Watchonthewrists : July 10th, 2024-06:18

Yep, hard to beat. The Iconic Freak.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:27

It's so unique and an eye catcher

 
By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : July 10th, 2024-06:29
Great shots too. I hope you continue loving this watch for many more years.

I do hope so, too! Merci, mon ami.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:44

Wow, a true mechanical marvel!

 
By: clemens m : July 10th, 2024-07:03
And you wear it very well! Hard to believe this piece is 18 years old, it looks so futuristic snd contemporary!

Yes, that is amazing for a watch with such a strong and not consensual design.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-07:13

Still making waves after all these years...

 
By: Goh : July 10th, 2024-07:13
Glad that you are still enjoying its company. This first version is probably the nicest.

Agreed. My favorite, as well.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-10:24

Monumental, Epic, Iconic!

 
By: smironov : July 10th, 2024-07:40
I own a very similar one for a few years and absolutely love it! Can't even imagine how cool it was to buy it 18 years ago when the watch scene was different! Most sincere congrats!

Yes, it was a totally different era.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-10:25

Superb watch.

 
By: jlux : July 10th, 2024-08:09
One of the most important watches from the last 20-25 years !!

Agreed! An horological UFO, as well as a milestone.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-10:25

Wonderful ... iconic for both UN and horology in general !

 
By: pkonos : July 10th, 2024-09:01

Absolutely!

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-10:25

It has reached adulthood 😁

 
By: KMII : July 10th, 2024-10:33
Such a bombshell, when it landed and still an amazing piece, this one 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

It is aging very well. Hard to believe that it is 23 years old!

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-13:35

Indeed - what a watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beyond a classic. The Freak was ahead of its time, then and now. Its introduction was one of the victories brought to us by Rolf and Ludwig.

 
By: Mitch K : July 11th, 2024-03:26
The introduction of the Freak was the launching point for the use of silicium, something that many of the major branches now incorporate into their product - all thanks to Rolf's leadership. It is my bias that UN of that time never receive the credit it w... 

Yes, I totally agree. He was a visionary and a pioneer. UN golden era, for sure.

 
By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-07:12

A beauty that well deserves staying in the collection

 
By: donizetti : July 13th, 2024-07:23
On my list as well. Best Andreas

Oh yes, my friend. A good medication against horofatigue. ;)

 
By: amanico : July 13th, 2024-08:45

Do not need..

 
By: Ronald Held : July 16th, 2024-14:38
A reason to post a photo of a Freak.

Totally correct!
