That is a great watch!
The carbonium case and the small blue accents on the dial make this the best looking version of that watch.
Ulysse Nardin Freak X Bucherer Blue Edition Quick Review
I am very excited to share my quick review for the Ulysse Nardin Freak X Bucherer Blue Edition. The Freak X is a modern interpretation of the traditional Ulysse Nardin Freak. For these not familiar with Bucherer it is one of the largest Swiss watch retail...
My Daily,
The Freak X gets a lot of snobbish criticism in my opinion due to its winder. I say since when was the wrench-up of that monster spring the defining technical aspect what the Freak is???? Its a nice light and comfortable watch and my daily wear. ...
👏thanks for sharing yours - glad am not alone 😁
As you rightly wrote super comfortable on the wrist. Without the crown is not as nice, never been a fan of the "original" model. Also the price/size was not great.
Tried this one on in Disney
It is sharp on the wrist, very cool piece. I often wonder why I didn't pull the trigger!
That is a great watch!
The carbonium case and the small blue accents on the dial make this the best looking version of that watch.
Thank you!! 👏 I like this version a lot but all these with the carbonium case
are very nice, even the red one is cool I think! Blue is still very nice to enhance readability althrough the white of the non LE version is probably very readable too
Very nice!
Did you procure one of these? If so, don't forget to enjoy that Octo Finissimo of yours too!
haha thanks for the reminder !! yes this is a new incoming for me 👏
very different vs the Octo but will try to wear that too! good reminder
Big congrats on the new incoming timepiece!
You might have to wear two watches! Or FOUR! One on each wrist! Maybe one on each ankle too! This way they all get some wrist and ankle time!
haha noo I am fine with one !
other watches wait patiently their turn. One thing I noticed with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is that the dial/movement are really so light that sometimes you forget about it or it feels like wearing nothing. But a very cool watch indeed.
Indeed!
When I wear a steel watch after wearing the Octo Finissimo, I feel that I'm wearing a gold watch. When I go from the Octo Finissimo to a gold watch, there's definitely a different feeling!
I think is good that UN decided to offer more options in terms of size, budget and taste
the more freaks the better
Thank you! I know you are an owner of the original one 👏
may be the real "freak" but happy with the X especially with the size, automatic and even the crown! 😁 I find the price/value amazing for a carousel movement and of course, very unique
😁I saw this argument before but...since UN owns this
they are in a better position to decide what is a Freak and what is not. You are right that is not a Freak, is a Freak X 😁
Congrats on the new incoming, looking sharp!
This is an attractive watch in its own right. The Freak X could have been positioned as a different line rather than an entry level Freak. The two are not quite the same though one can say they share some common design DNA. Price point wise it is also not...
thank you 👏 👏 just love this watch and the Freak, albeit X, name fits well
the movement is referred as Flying carrousel by UN, which I think is 1 hour tourbillon or ? The Freak Vision is marked as tourbillon, experts please feel free to explain the differences
Appreciate your thoughts and photos, Christian.
Always a wonderful feeling to add a watch you love. I wish you the best with it!
thank you very much! I love it because is so different, never get tired to read the time and look at it!
since you are an owner of a regular Freak I would welcome if you (and others) could share some knowledge of the difference between flying carrousel, tourbillon etc. a bit confusing!
thank you! but some other models are marked as tourbillon in the UN Website e.g. Freak Vision
www.ulysse-nardin.com and other sites report it as a "1 hour tourbillon" if there is such a thing. At any rate an amazing watch ! thanks for the pics
Incorrect.
A Tourbillon or Carousel can have any frequency of cycle. The majority do have 60 seconds and next most common is 30 seconds. What defines the difference between the T and C mechanisms is that a Carousel has only one energy source. A Tourbillion has 2 ene...
thank you for the clarification👏 👏 👏
good to know that is a 1 hour Carousel. All freaks are special and I like the variety for such a nice and exclusive piece.
thank you for pointing out this marvelous piece
I also found this video www.youtube.com where one can see it in action!
How are you getting along with the watch?
Thought the carbonium case is cool, but I'm always gunshy after the AP cases ended up looking a bit ratty.
I absolutely love it which is great so I will stop buying (at least for a while) 😁
my understanding that Carbonium is not like the Carbon used by AP. "Carbonium® is composed of the aeronautical grade carbon fibers used to make vital structural parts of modern aircraft. It is roughly twice as light as aluminum and twice as environmentall...
Thanks for this great review!!
I tried on the regular Carbonium Freak X at a Vegas AD back in January 2020. I absolutely loved it and have been lusting after it ever since. Even after multiple awesome watch purchases since then the Freak X kept on my mind. Well, found a secondhand Buch...
