FREAK X THIS LATEST ITERATION OF THE FAMED FREAK, with its flying carousel baguette movement that rotates around its own axis, is again automatically wound as it was for the first time in the 2018 Freak Vision. But here it’s without that model’s Grinder automatic winding system or the unique Ulysse Nardin Anchor escapement, which in part may explain its relatively lower price. The Freak X does however feature a 43mm titanium satin-finish and sandblasted black DLC Case and a titanium black DLC bezel. Even the new Caliber UN-230 is black, with its index and bridges in Superluminova. Price: Approximately $21,000 iWMAGAZINE .COM WINTER 2019 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | 99
