Howdy Folks,

In any surveys on horology and the most important watches to emerge in the last 20 years, one can count on the Freak to be mentioned. The only controversy, if any, is where on the top 10 list it is placed.

the Freak was what brought me to the Purists in 2006/07. Beyond the horological impact the first Freak made, it will always have a personal impact on me.




















Thanks for reading.

Best,

Horo

Me too, Horo. The Freak was and still is a strong watch in my collection...

And better, in my appreciation for watches. In a certain way, this is my " Independant " watch. A crazy and refreshing approach of horology, which " widened " my view on watches. In the top 5 of modern watches, in my opinion; Best, Nicolas.

Love it so much, indeed. A keeper.

Now the question is to know if I would get another one, like the Blue Phantom ( which I like a lot ) or the Diavolo... Hmmmmm.... Best, Nicolas.

Where is the ankle shot?

I would have figured that the Freak deserved one. Best regards, George

Sadly, there were no ladies present that are, let's just say, unencumbered.

But I will work to your request soonest. Best, Horo
