One of the most spectacular introductions of this year’s show that we did not cover yet is the Ulysse Nardin Freak S. We will do our best to get some of the most spectacular timepieces in the Fratello offices for a test spin. Now that the dust has settled after Watches And Wonders 2022, there is time to look at all the different releases in detail. Oh, and it looks like it’s ready to go into space! The watch features a new, revolutionary movement with two oscillators and it comes equipped with a new case. During Watches And Wonders, Ulysse Nardin revealed the new Freak S. Instead, these are timepieces with a revolving movement equipped with a gear train and escapement rotating once every hour to display the minutes. These watches feature no dial, no hands, and no crown. What has remained, however, is that all the brand’s Freak creations are still as bold and revolutionary as that original version 21 years ago. More than two decades later, the Freak concept has evolved significantly. An extraordinary timepiece for true connoisseurs and most discerning of horological enthusiasts, “Snow on the Blue Lake” is a creation to be celebrated and cherished as one of Grand Seiko’s most exquisitely crafted timepieces, for now and for all the days to come.When Ulysse Nardin introduced its famous Freak in 2001, the idea was bold and revolutionary. The new Grand Seiko “Snow on the Blue Lake” will be available in Thong Sia distribution districts (Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore) from this November onwards, and this latest in Grand Seiko’s family of timepieces expresses the graceful delicacy of the Grand Seiko style. Exquisite and delicate, the new timepiece is for those who truly appreciate the subtle beauty of the world around them – priceless, joyous and without compare. Coupled with a self-assured sense of luxury, the new timepiece continues to build upon the horologer’s talented eye for design, imaginative spirit, and distinguished heritage.
BRILLIANT TIMEPIECE SKIN
From waterfalls of ice, the hyobaku, to the frost covered trees, known as juhyo, the new stainless-steel timepiece features a beautiful light blue dial that captures the intense azure sky that lowers on the glittering snow of the Hachimandai.Ĭomplementing the exceedingly elegant aesthetics of Grand Seiko’s “Snow on the Blue Lake” timepiece is the brand’s signature 9S85 automatic calibre, which, in conjunction with its crocodile skin strap and comfortable size and weight gives the wearer a supreme sense of confidence. The timepiece is inspired by Hachimandai, in Iwate prefecture, which is renowned for its beautiful scenery during the winter. The new Grand Seiko “Snow on the Blue Lake” timepiece is another demonstration of Grand Seiko’s style – brilliant yet practical, technologically advanced yet boasting timeless aesthetics that bring together sophistication and minimalistic beauty in one elegant package. Grand Seiko proudly launches its latest extraordinary timepiece, the Thong Sia exclusive (Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore) “Snow on the Blue Lake” – a splendid showcase of Grand Seiko’s traditional Japanese artistry, immaculate sense of style and craftsmanship.
