This one is 42 mm, Mo
While the later generations are 44, 5 mm, this one is 2,5mm smaller, which makes a huge difference in terms of visual impact.
Some will prefer the " One " others the bigger, it is a matter of taste, and of ... wrist.
UN is a marvellous world, Mo. With some crazy inventions.
A Freak in your collection? That doesn't sound stupid.
Best!

Freaakie Blue Moon.
5 long months before the Freak comes back home. The fault of a capricious strap, which broke at one of the lug. The Freak is a capricious watch, in its first version, indeed. Ulysse Nardin had to analyze the problem, and to find a solution to an unusual p...
If it can cannibalize your wrist ...
..... it can sure cannibalize one of my kidneys, as long as i get to wear it :-) ... . Bim
Ouch! I had not known about your mishap ...
so which part did break? Apparently not the springbar. Regards, Marcus
The crocodile strap broke at the level of the solid end links...
First the end link at 12 o clock started to become mobile, then the croc strap went away...Broken at this level. I caught the watch before it hurt the ground. Pfffff. Best, Nicolas
Goodness gracious.....
thank God you cought it Nicolas, you don't want to hurt the ground!!!! LOL Cheers Francois.....ooh by the way, very nice piece of art and engineering!!!!
Where can I start from
Ever since I saw freak and sonata I always thought about these 2 as my fav UN to own. Your freak is sublime,of the second generation my fav are the blue phantom and the wg 28800. Yours though is more wearable(it's a few mm smaller right?) and the colour s...

Mo! You know you want to!
It's a really lovely and enduring piece. Again, it's very you and I think will complement well your existing collection! Regards my friend! ...
One at the the time....
Our paths will cross in the future, UN is a brand I like a lot and the freak is the ultimate goal. I must admit that frak1(or 1.5) now is the most appealing to me, the new ones are a bit too chunky evn if I love the blue phantom. We will see Arthur. I hop...
One of the best watch creations ever!
Innovative movement that is displayed for every one to see. Masculine case, nice finish.....it's just got everything going for it. Awesome piece Nicolas. Some day, I tell myself, some day..... J.
Beautiful!
Beautiful picture of a Beautiful watch Nicolas! I really liked the earlier versions (and had a blue phantom for a while) as they didn't have the bezel lock which I think does not suit all the models. It was certainly worth the wait as it looks great (I ge...
Aaah, Andrew, what can I say?
The Freak is a very capricious watch, even more in its first version, BUT it is THE Freak, an extraordinary watch which is worth some patience ( even if not a natural thing for me ). It didn't have left my wrist since... A strong watch which provides stro...
Super Duper!!
My Azzurri had me feeling a bit blue yesterday. Now a much better blue has raised my spirits. So happy for you on this one, especially given some of the missing ones. This Legend is really a part of you, never to leave. Wear always in the best of health :...
Yes, Michael, the Freak has lived so many things on my wrist,
We have such a common story, and a long one, now, that it became a part of me. Its madness is working with my own madness very well, too. :) Best and thanks for answering, my friend. Nicolas
Good to hear Nico and you photography skills for this
is excellent! Don;t mind if I steal it for my iPhone wall paper. I also posted a pic of mine to entice Mo to move for what must be an icon of a watch!
wonderful light...
would be nice to have one of those. that and a 3 bridges :) happy for you that it's back.
Freak and Tourbillon with 3 Gold Bridges are so different, but they do share something.
There is nothing like the Freak and the Tourbillon with 3 GB in the production, indeed. Thanks, Echi. Nicolas.
Nice feeling ...
when ends the period during which we missed something that much ! I noticed the blue strap suits very well to the watch. A beautiful treasure you have here Nicolas :) Thanks for the thoughts and pics. Cheers, Mark
Exactly, Mark.
Not only beautiful and intriguing, but i am monitering it for almost 10 days, now, and the outcome is quite surprising. Will come back soon about the results... Best, Nicolas
