ULYSSE NARDIN – Freak Diavolo
The Freak Diavolo follows in the footsteps of the iconic Freak that revolutionized the watchmaking world and incorporates the latest advances in technology, materials and concepts. While the carousel tourbillon, acting as a minute indicator, makes one complete rotation an hour, a flying tourbillon sits above the carousel. Its cage, which makes one revolution a minute, is equipped with an arrow indicating the seconds on a semi-circular dial. Technically impressive with its extended use of silicium, the Freak Diavolo is also extremely attractive with its clean lines, black and charcoal tones, hints of colour and white gold case. The ultimate symbol of unbridled imagination and elegant originality, the Freak Diavolo is faithful to the spirit of inventiveness that defines both this collection and the brand.
