Maybe the nicest " Only Watch " to be offered in Auction
As you know ( cf Omega Forum ), some Brands made a piece unique to attend to the auction which will be on September the 24th.
Some are a pure nightmare, others are really exciting.
among the exciting ones, my favourite is this very special Freak :
Extract from the Press Release, where all is said:
" For the Only Watch,” says Schnyder, “Ulysse Nardin has produced a unique Freak – the Freak Black Out – a truly magnificent timepiece which is of historical importance.”
The Only Watch Freak Black Out is a technical work of art crafted in 18k white gold. The bridges and metal parts have been treated with a stainless black titanium based alloy offering a spectacular view of this innovative timepiece. The tip of the hour and minute marker are in red Superluminova, enhancing the visibility of the time indication. "
I'm speechless...
And you?
Best,
Nicolas

This is probably ...
the most beautiful "Freak" I have seen so far. Only the red "disturbs" me a bit, but who knows how it looks in metal Oliver
Agreed..;Change the red for white arrows, and it is perfect!!!
Catch you soon, In London! Nicolas
Light (luminous) grey ...
arrows would be my choice. Indeed, London just in a few days Oliver
Even better, Oliver...Nice contrast!
Come on, hurry up, you will miss your train! Best, Nicolas
Not a bad outcome, Filip!
I'm lucky enought to not be albe to fund it, because I would have been completely crazy about it!!! It will remain a nice watch in my crazy Dream List. See you soon, Nicolas
I prefer...
the red- only thing I would change/omit would be taking out the "only watch" inscription from the bottom- more discreet in a good way Cheers
Definitely red for me.
This is the "Freak"... it should disturb you! HUGE kudos to UN for only applying red to the hands. Nowadays, it is very en vogue to add it elsewhere, like on markers or strap stitching. Such a powerful color... less is definitely more.
Now, you get a point, Michael.
I agree with you that the Freak being he Freak, it may disturb on certain parts.... And why not, finally, these red end hands? Well seen! Best, Nicolas
I hope this gets me back to even!!
I'm afraid my silly question to you via email yesterday had me in the negative!!
Yep, SPEECHLESS!
Although how much more stealth would this piece look if UN decided to make the casing black as in on the Innovision. Keep the red pointer tips or make them a shade of gray... HINT HINT. This would be my dream watch! Cory
Could be, Cory, but stop hurting yourself
This is a piece unique.... And unless you are te owner of a petrol field, I doubt you, me could get it... Nice PS work...Yes, it is interesting to see how nice it could be in ceramic. The black case works very well with this watch, which is, to me, very c...
Ha ha Nicolas
It is self torture alright! I think they should do something for 2010 similar to the Blue Phantom but in Black.... Obviously the Piece Unique will be friggin expensive but they could roll on something in black for regular production that would be more cos...
Insane
Insanely magnifique ! Smitten with the blue phantom when I first saw it, but this is something else
Totally share your enthusiasm, Flamenco
If UN decides, one day or another, to make it, I would even consider to double the Freak!!! Best, Nicolas
ENTHUSIASM ++
They could totally do this piece as is with white or gray pointers! that would be VERY nice. I just LOVE the BLACK details on the inside... YUMO!
I fully agree. Except for the "maybe" part...
No doubt in my mind, this piece is amazing, and easily my favorite of all the different offerings by the various brands. Rolf and UN, extremely well done! If this were available as a regular edition (or say attainable LE), it would be one I would consider...
On the same line, Michael
I would keep my Freak 1, because I'm a faithful guy, and because it was the first, but I would like, in this case, a lot to add this one, just for the Beauty of the watch, for its strength... Best, Nicolas
its brilliant, but the ceramic idea is better
as Nicolas has said, i would never sell my Freak 1 to fund one of these, but to add one would be a dream. perhaps Marcus can suggest a ceramic case to UN. Graham
I see that once again, we're on the same line, Graham.
A Black Beauty Freak? Why not! It would enhance its " concept watch " look! Best, Nicolas
BLACK BEAUTY (Ceramic)
All black with white or gray pointers. CONCEPT I LIKE. I am killing myself at the thought. C
Can you try to make it bigger, with these White end hands, and a grey version, Cory?
It would be very interesting to see them side by side! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-07-08 22:41:13
