I have never had the pleasure of winding a Freak.
I have read some describe it as frustrating... that is a frustration I would happily embrace ;-)
Ulysse Nardin Freak Vision, Coral Bay. 2 unique pieces from the 2018 Collection.
Bay Bonding. Micro painting. Each of them is a piece unique, with a platinum case ( 45 mm ) and the Cal UN 250 which is automatic, with a power reserve of 50 hours. Water resistant to 30 meters. Which is not usual for a Freak. No picture of the back, show...
I'm still amazed that this watch winds itself with no traditional winding rotor. I wished there was a better way to explain the winding mechanism.
I spoke with the designer of the winding system for 30 minutes at SIHH. Cool concept! But a little difficult to explain in a way that's easily understood.
Is it based on the Innovision 2?
Great description in this video at about 7.20 mins by PH.
I really admire the freak but was not so much a fan of the previous case construction
However this new case looks promising...
Top one is the top one.
The red accented piece doesn't do it for me. I'm excited by the attention UN is giving to the Freak line. M4

And of course they make a winding tool to help.
www.ebay.co.uk I quite like the process of doing it by hand once a week.
