You are right on the money with your conclusion. I thought that the moment the video started. Perhaps crazy colors would have helped instead of the monotone grey.
Long live the original Freak. I share your admiration. Price was attainable used, maybe not anymore? I don't know because my wrist couldn't handle the size.
I need this, SKELETONIZED. Squelette version of watches would be unreadable sometimes, but I don't think anyone would miss the hour and minute hand on the skeleton work on this. I think that's what missing in this Freak X, as in the "regular" Freak or even in the Freak Diavolo you can see the whole gear train running as the hands of the watch.
I love my Freak X, as you said, it‘s the perfect daily hyperwatch 😎 You can change diapers with it, go hiking with it, and it also fits well under the sleeve of a shirt, even the carbon version fits to a suit very well (now that half of the office wears smart watches). And the best - no one has a clue what you‘re wearing and how much it did cost. And the rare ones that recognize it - they love to see it in the wild
I like your face bro, but there was a sense of mystique to the channel when I just heard your voice and saw the great camerawork. Js. I’ll always watch the channel 🤙🏻
Well, don't know if I'll go so far as liking Andrew's face 😉. But I agree, the hands made it unique. What about doing your solo videos hands only and faces with Tom?
The dial that makes it looks not that special, UN should used flat dial like on the MB&F LM1.. And make the movements/hands with some RG or WG.. It'll make the hands looks more special, more majestic..
There are 16, 30 and 60 second tourbillons. As long as the escapement rotates around itself, it’s a Tourbillon. 60 minutes or 60 seconds, it doesn’t matter
I want one a lot, especially the Freak S. It looks like you're wearing a model spaceship! Too bad the Freak S is priced in ISK rather than dollars/euros/pounds.
This is gonna sound terrible, but I liked this channel more when you didn't show your face. It made it specially added some mystery and really put all the focus on the beautiful macro shots. Same goes for the podcast style content. The idea with the two microphone pictures was unique and fun, now it feels like your average channel.
I f I could spend this amount of money on a watch this would be a temptation. But the hands, especially the hour hand are not well to read. Too chunky at the end and/or too short.
Um, if you can jaunt over to the friendly neighborhood luxury watch shop and plop down $20K+ for what is now a timepiece and not just a:'wristwatch', you are definitely not washing Fido and absolutely not mowing your own lawn. hell, you can buy a robot to feed the baby as well, it just wouldn't do to have dried up baby spit-up babas on a Ulysse Nardin, even if there is a nato strap on it.

@@blasphemer_amon That is base oak’s retail price. Yes you will have to go on a waiting list. But I rather get the Oak eventually than to get a gimmick that looks bad
$30,000.00 Canadian!! This will be bought by a millionaire who will buy it and put it in his safe or safety deposit box and will be brought out once a year for a business dinner or to impress new investors. What a waste of money.
I spent a day looking at all kinds of watches from most brands, and The Freak was the absolute stand out. It's a really special line.
Have one since 2019 can’t get bored from looking at it .
That is a truly amazing hyper watch. For me it does retain the essence of the original Freak. Love it.
You are right on the money with your conclusion. I thought that the moment the video started. Perhaps crazy colors would have helped instead of the monotone grey.
It's different, wearable and easy to use. The complication alone is a conversation starter. A special watch from an underrated brand.
Ulysse Nardin is very underrated. Especially here on TH-cam
My go to channel for watch knowledge! Love you guys.
Love it. I'd much rather have the freak than an AP or daytona. And I'd wear it too, most days
Amazing watch. Extremely light and recognizable.
Great job! Love the deep dives.
The Razzle Dazzle version of the Freak X is awesome and I'd love one. The daily driveability of it is the cherry on top.
I love the Freak, wish I could afford one!
I love the Frak X souch that I bought one
I wear it all the time, it's fantastic
I absolutely love the Freak. It looks like the way my mind works. Can't afford it though. The watch I mean.

What is the name of the music playing in the background? Anyone please.

Hi where can this strap be bought?
At this price, I see no entrance to the realm of this "entry level" watch.
Lol

This bell cannot be unrung.
Agreed, not that I don’t like the face addition. I simply just prefer the eloquent review of the watch with the hands and b-roll more.
Honestly Andrew writing is the undoubtedly star of the show.
The channel has had a massive increase in subscribers over the last couple of months, so I think it was probably a good move.
Love it and it's on my list. Surprised you didn't cover the new OPS version too. That green carbon wears lighter than titanium. Freaky.
The dial that makes it looks not that special, UN should used flat dial like on the MB&F LM1.. And make the movements/hands with some RG or WG.. It'll make the hands looks more special, more majestic..
Great review, If I win the lottery one of these is already on the bucket list.......
Now I’m liking this !!
I could daily the Freak X and wear a silly grin all day. Looking freakish myself.
Because the platform carrying the escapement rotates slowly, once per hour, instead of every few seconds, it's strictly a Karrousel not a tourbillon.
There are 16, 30 and 60 second tourbillons. As long as the escapement rotates around itself, it’s a Tourbillon. 60 minutes or 60 seconds, it doesn’t matter
Love these and glad the water resistance has improved from the 30m of old
I love the Freak X! It's a tragedy it's over 20 grand 😭
I want one a lot, especially the Freak S. It looks like you're wearing a model spaceship! Too bad the Freak S is priced in ISK rather than dollars/euros/pounds.
i like all the Freaks, S especially
This is the clock that should be on the dash of the new Rolls Royce Spectre.
Fantastic watch indeed!

So you're conclusion is that the freak x is a freak that forgot to be a freak?
A true horological masterpiece. Dr Ludwig Oechslin is a genius.
👍🏻
That nato strap though.😬
Love it.
Did mr hands recently show himself or just that I have visited late.
I think I actually prefer this bargain version of the Freak, the look is cleaner. And I won't have to sell the Bentley to purchase it!
O dear Andrew, did you forget to blow clean the watch?
I'd wear it as a daily, to be sure. Might make it onto my hot list bumping off an Urwerk as a much more affordable and wearable unit
Love it
I've loved the Freak since it was launched. Not sure I'll ever have the funds for one but maybe 2nd hand after I sell that spare kidney
I think you mean post code .
The original is where it’s at. This new one is too “showroom” and not enough “research facility”.
I'm not sure what time watches over $1000 are there to tell
Didn't expect anything less from U.N. If only I had 22k to left under the mattress.
I f I could spend this amount of money on a watch this would be a temptation. But the hands, especially the hour hand are not well to read. Too chunky at the end and/or too short.
nice
£22K. Cheap as chips!!

Nope. Freak is cool, this is just 2 much money for meh....
I preferred this channel when he didn't show his face.. he's got a lovely voice

More money than sense.
It looks very cheap especially with that strap, so no way I would shell out over 20K for it. That is Royal oak money
Where are you getting these 20k Royal Oaks from
