Featuring a carrousel tourbillon, the Freak is an exceptional wristwatch with an innovative design created by Dr. Ludwig Oechslin. The unique movement has an escapement that not only regulates t.mes , but acts as the minute indicator as well, while the hour is displayed by a large triangular-tipped indicator sitting beneath the escapement. Instead of having a crown, the bezel is used to set the t.mes , while the case back is turned to wind the watch. The Freak is a true showcase of Ulysse Nardin’s bold design and innovation. The present watch with a sharp tip to the escapement wheel is known as the MK 1.5 among collects ors.
