We are thrilled to present the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel Seddiqi, a stunning addition to the world of haute horlogerie. This limited edition masterpiece, restricted to just 30 pieces, celebrates an extraordinary collaboration between Swiss watch innovator Ulysse Nardin and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the UAE’s premier luxury watch retailer. The Freak X Enamel Seddiqi harmoniously blends ancient métiers d’art craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, making it a true tribute to tradition and artistic brilliance.
An Icon Reinvented
Inspired by Ulysse Nardin’s revolutionary 2001 Freak, known for its groundbreaking use of silicon and “no hands, no dial” design, the Freak X Enamel Seddiqi reimagines this legacy with a contemporary twist. The hour disc, crafted in exquisite Yas Blue enamel, pays homage to the stunning evening skies of the Gulf. Produced in Ulysse Nardin’s renowned Donzé Cadrans workshop, each hour disc undergoes meticulous guilloché work on gold, followed by the application of four layers of enamel, fired at 800 degrees Celsius, with a final touch of translucent “fondant” enamel providing a lustrous finish.
A Fusion of Function and Form
At its core, the watch features the UN-230 Manufacture Calibre, an automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve, and Ulysse Nardin’s signature carousel flying tourbillon—a breathtaking innovation that doubles as a minute hand. Encased in 43mm of refined grey titanium, the Freak X Enamel Seddiqi combines robustness with sophistication, complemented by a ballistic black rubber strap with white stitching. This exclusive piece, available only through Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, showcases the brand’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of horology.
A Legacy of Innovation
Since its debut, the Ulysse Nardin Freak has been an icon of innovation, introducing silicon into watchmaking due to its elasticity, friction resistance, and precision. The Freak continues to symbolise avant-garde design and technical expertise, earning accolades such as the 2023 Iconic Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève for the Freak One. The Freak X Enamel Seddiqi, with its Yas Blue enamel, sophisticated design, and revolutionary movement, marks a new chapter in this storied history.
Discover the Unforgettable
With only 30 pieces available worldwide, the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel Seddiqi stands as a rare testament to artistry and engineering, making it a coveted treasure for discerning collectors.
