Sonata or Freak X

The Freak and the Sonata don't have any competitors. They are both unique. And both so Ulysse Nardin. The Sonata is more " friendly " than the Freak with its 24 hours alarm sounding like a minute repeater, its GMT you can set forward and backward and the ... 

Good explaination

Both are extraordinary watches, better said peaces of art. Me personally would hang more to the Sonata, but the Freak have something i very like. Let’s say, both are great possessions.

Thanks, Weems.

I never thought that the Freak was a daily wear watch. Remember that...

I said Freak X, which IMO is not really a Freak.

Nicolas, whey you are saying that Freak cannot be daily wearer are you referring to any Freak? I remember that original had all sorts of issues and later had to be converted to Freak v. 1.5, but I thought those problems were solved at some point. I used t... 

The Sonata

Because of the more regular design as can recognize as a watch. So when i open my purse, it would be the Sonata first. When it comes to my first Ulysse Nardin watch, a Torpilleur is maybe my first entrance.

That is true, but I was not...

Sonata all the way for me.

Why? It is one of the most iconic UN pieces.

Probably a new thread, but...

Go ahead here.

What do you think?

It is difficult. While the...

Sonata is clearly a UN creation, the Freaks represents the essence of UN, at least before Rolf died.

OOF, tough call. For me... Freak.

The Sonata is so beautiful, and the alarm function so cool. But I admire more the uniqueness of The Freak, and the wonderful mechanism.
