Ulysse Nardin continues to redefine the boundaries of horology with the latest limited edition of its groundbreaking FreakLab. With only 99 units in existence, this timepiece is as rare as it is revolutionary. The FreakLab is housed in a bold 45mm frame, meticulously crafted from blackened titanium and carbon fiber. This iteration of the Freak collection introduces a re-centered balance wheel and a dedicated date function, but the true star is the UlyChoc safety system—a cutting-edge, in-house developed shock absorber designed to protect the movement’s delicate heart.
Under the hood, the Caliber UN-210 movement drives the experience. It features a one-hour tourbillon integrated with the UlyChoc security system, operating at 4 Hz (28,800 v/h) and delivering an impressive seven-day power reserve.
The design is rounded out by a black leather strap featuring a subtle carbon-fiber motif, mirroring the materials of the case. Originally unveiled at Baselworld 2015, the FreakLab is available exclusively through Ulysse Nardin boutiques. Santa, please …
The FreakLab wasn’t the brand’s only standout release that year — earlier in 2015, the Anchor Tourbillon, another showcase of Ulysse Nardin’s technical mastery, had already turned heads with its own take on horological innovation.
