I absolutely love it which is great so I will stop buying (at least for a while) 😁

my understanding that Carbonium is not like the Carbon used by AP. "Carbonium® is composed of the aeronautical grade carbon fibers used to make vital structural parts of modern aircraft. It is roughly twice as light as aluminum and twice as environmentally friendly as conventional carbon composite. This is because, unlike most composites, it is not made of virgin materials; 95% of it is eco-sourced from carbon by-products in the aeronautical cycle.
The innovative process development used to up-cycle aerospace grade carbon material is based on three patents led by its France-based start-up company, Lavoisier Composites.
The result is a carbon-based composite material of unprecedented mechanical performance with a much reduced environmental footprint. " source dunesmagazine.com m
So far is very pleasant and light. I hope it will age well too

Ulysse Nardin Freak X Bucherer Blue Edition Quick Review
By: christianch : April 11th, 2022-13:25
I am very excited to share my quick review for the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Bucherer Blue Edition. The Freak X is a modern interpretation of the traditional Ulysse Nardin Freak. For these not familiar with Bucherer it is one of the largest Swiss watch retail...
My Daily,

The Freak X gets a lot of snobbish criticism in my opinion due to its winder. I say since when was the wrench-up of that monster spring the defining technical aspect what the Freak is???? Its a nice light and comfortable watch and my daily wear. ...
👏thanks for sharing yours - glad am not alone 😁

As you rightly wrote super comfortable on the wrist. Without the crown is not as nice, never been a fan of the "original" model. Also the price/size was not great.
awesome.

Tried this one on in Disney

It is sharp on the wrist, very cool piece. I often wonder why I didn't pull the trigger!
That is a great watch!

The carbonium case and the small blue accents on the dial make this the best looking version of that watch.
Very nice!

Did you procure one of these? If so, don't forget to enjoy that Octo Finissimo of yours too!
Big congrats on the new incoming timepiece!

You might have to wear two watches! Or FOUR! One on each wrist! Maybe one on each ankle too! This way they all get some wrist and ankle time!
haha noo I am fine with one !

other watches wait patiently their turn. One thing I noticed with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is that the dial/movement are really so light that sometimes you forget about it or it feels like wearing nothing. But a very cool watch indeed.
Indeed!

When I wear a steel watch after wearing the Octo Finissimo, I feel that I'm wearing a gold watch. When I go from the Octo Finissimo to a gold watch, there's definitely a different feeling!
Thank you! I know you are an owner of the original one 👏

may be the real "freak" but happy with the X especially with the size, automatic and even the crown! 😁 I find the price/value amazing for a carousel movement and of course, very unique

Congrats on the new incoming, looking sharp!

This is an attractive watch in its own right. The Freak X could have been positioned as a different line rather than an entry level Freak. The two are not quite the same though one can say they share some common design DNA. Price point wise it is also not...
Incorrect.

A Tourbillon or Carousel can have any frequency of cycle. The majority do have 60 seconds and next most common is 30 seconds. What defines the difference between the T and C mechanisms is that a Carousel has only one energy source. A Tourbillion has 2 ene...
I agree.
By: amanico : April 13th, 2022-11:14
thank you for the clarification👏 👏 👏
By: christianch : April 13th, 2022-16:42
good to know that is a 1 hour Carousel. All freaks are special and I like the variety for such a nice and exclusive piece.
Thanks for this great review!!

I tried on the regular Carbonium Freak X at a Vegas AD back in January 2020. I absolutely loved it and have been lusting after it ever since. Even after multiple awesome watch purchases since then the Freak X kept on my mind. Well, found a secondhand Buch...
