Ulysse Nardin keeps upping the ante on their seminal silicon watch , adding more features and increasing the durability and performance of the system. At its heart, the watch features the entire silicon gear train on the dial which is actually located on the minute hand. Lately, Ulysse Nardin releases the new model called FreakLab.

The innovative system specially designed for a Freak-style watch is a silicon shock absorber system designed for the pinion which holds the entire hand/running gears/regulation system on the dial. Ulysse Nardin redesign and strengthened this crucial connection point in the watch and also gave it the ability to absorb some vibration and shock. 

The movement operates at a modern 4Hz , and setting the time is similar to winding it but done with the bezel. A small latch located under the 6 o’clock position on the bezel needs to be lifted which unlocks the bezel. Once unlocked, the wearer can turn the bezel left or right to set the time in either direction.

The Ulysse Nardin FreakLab 18k white gold watches has a 45mm-wide case. I’m so love it. It is probably my favorite since it gives the Freak a more unique look .
