- This is a Ulysse Nardin Freak, and it is quite simply the single craziest watch ever made. That’s a bold claim because there are a lot of crazy watches, but this one wins the all-time craziest. Today I’m going to review the Ulysse Nardin Freak. I’m going to show you all of its quirks and features and then I’m going to put it on my wrist and wear it.

That Doug DeMuro intro!
LMAOOOOOO
Not the first time this dude makes a petrol head reference he must be one of us lol
One of us!!!!!
I watched a hoovie video before this and he also did a Doug intro. Is it official Doug Demuro day or something?
Thhhhhhhis
@@gorbachevcocktail Lmao!
I wonder if Mr. Dough is going to reply here, or there. XD
As soon as I heard “quirks and features”, I came straight here to the comments section and yup!...Doug Demuro’s name getting talked about.
Shame he doesn't wear it (understandably, but still. XDD)
@footballcoreano Says the man who has a tenuous grasp of the English language at best
Same I was hoping he was gonna give it a Doug score 😂
Arvin Arakelian lack of English skills is now insulting? Lmao. Get back to your basement now.
Yeah. The "I bet your watch doesnt have that" too
80% of the comments: that Doug DeMuro reference
Ahhaha
Thank you 😊
Recently he got patent for "THISSS" and every other TH-camr using it is paying a royalty to him
really ?? when??? where?? please show me!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Pedro Ribeiro just watch the beginning of any Doug Demuro review videos, and you’ll see.
0:20 "And then, I'm going to give it a WatchfinderScore."
YES
bro he also said he would wear it on wrist, maybe I missed when he did
"...... And then I'm gonna wear it on my wrist, as give it a FinderScore."
BTW, you never wore it on your wrist, like you promised. Bummer.
Yeah, probably to not devaluate it or something, but I kinda wanted him to wear it and comment on weight and visibility and things like "when you turn your doorknob, you know it's there, but nimble..." XDDD
I don't think he ever wears the watches, so it's probably something that gets requested a lot and he was just trolling those people. :D
Nor mention the watch's dimensions? Or price?
@@quadZ_z From 21.000 CHF upwards, 43 and 45 mm
@@Foomandoonian He wears them all the time, probably the majority of videos
In the meantime Rolex shows new color of the bezel and everybody freaks out.....
Ro-what? What's that? Is it edible?
@@juleswild9498 it's the beginner's watch
@@kimboslice5053 😂👌🏼. It's just frightening to see how many go straight to that particular brand for a watch and then treat it as such...the only brand. I try my best not to be a watch snob but rolex guys of the kind that replies"yeah, it's a rolex." When you tell them "nice watch dude" really make it difficult to me not to see them as the watch world's flat-earthers. I don't condemn wanting nor getting oneself a rolex in itself I mean they are technically solid pieces, but the people who tell you a personal story to it are as hard to find as certain steel sports watches are hard to get. I'm just glad not to be part of the craze.
Rolex - The Apple of watches? :P
Artur Gamcarz. Even if I had the money to buy a Rolex, I just think they're boring to look at. I'm an Aragon / Android guy myself. Wing just has an eye for interesting designs And after you decide not to buy a Rolex and you buy ten or so Aragons you still have enough money left over to buy a new car.
90 seconds into the video: I want one, ebay here I come.
90 seconds on ebay: Holy crap, I could buy 2 if I sold my house!!
Yup... i clicked the link and threw up
Great, you can give the other one to me.
I wonder if someone bought the watch because I can't find it on the link website 🤔
hahahahaha (i am just crying)
Freak has many more editions which are way lot cheaper as compared to 150K usd
"All the way back in 2001"
That's not that lo- shit it's almost two decades.
😂😂😂😂
It hits hard man.
damn i feel old :/
I'm old, 😭
You just shut your mouth, er keyboard..? I'm not old I swear!!!!!!
Channeling your inner Doug DeMuro 🤣
My first reaction was "I don't like the look of that at all." but then as you explained the different features and the way that it worked I was increasingly impressed by the ideas and micro engineering which went into this design. 7 days power reserve in a wristwatch is very impressive.
I still don't think I would buy one but as an engineering marvel to admire it is impressive.
The engineering is much less impressive in the 21st century than it would have been the the 20th or the 19th.
3d modelling and technology assisted design means that its pretty straight forward to design an impressive, highly complex movement.
That said, even with CNC and other precision manufacturing techniques, physically manufacturing it and making sure it all works is still pretty damn impressive and a feat at the size and scale that it has been implemented.
@@JimIBobIJones But we also need to set it in the context of the time and technology it was made in.
@@owengoodspeed5763 That's sorta my point. The engineering behind the freak isn't really impressive for a watch designed in the 21st century.
It is basically a standard single axis tourbillon but where the escapement/cage rotates every hour rather than every minute. This isn't particularly innovative or difficult.
Using the same modelling technologies, 3d printing hobbyists have designed and printed working bi-axis and tri-axis "3d" tourbillons at home much more complicated than this.
I’ve never heard of The Freak until today, but I fell completely in love with it… What an amazing piece of engineering… ❤️
As if MKBHD wasn't awesome enough referencing Doug DeMuro... THISSSS is even better!
Which video from MKBHD?
Who or what is MBHKDAT?
Enzo Ferrari the testing 5G one here he got a Mclaren in the video
SEAReviver in which Video he is referencing MKBHD? 5G what?
Roadjull you have never watched Marques brownlee?
Bravisimo. To be a genuine Doug intro, one must stress the.....,"THIS...."
"And then I'm going to put it on my wrist and wear it"
I laughed so hard with that.
proceeds to never put it on his wrist
*Dramatic boom intensifies*
Doug's the man! Even though his Reviews are 20 minutes plus, it is always interesting and so is WATCHFINDER! 😁😁😁😁
This isn't just a timepiece. It's art.
Sanket A It most certainly isn’t a conventional looking timepiece. If it had the ability to jump off an owner’s wrist & bite someone, that someone would probably linger & hope to be bit once more.
Now u know dat. It's been art since beginning
I mean it involves design so...
But is it water proof??
WOW! So deep man!
-"Excuse me what time it is?"
-"Ulysse Nardin Freak"
The colours mesh so beautifully. Silver and turquoise with the right amount of gold makes it a stunning piece.
My god! I looked at it and didn't realize that the entire movement was in the minute hand, until right before he said it... this looks absolutely nuts
The wonderful Ulysse Nardin Freak watch is original, imaginative, beautiful and fantastic.
This isn't a watch. Its a masterpiece.
OK, I’ve known about this watch for a long time, but never really understood how crazy it actually was. Watching this video made this watch skyrocket to the top of my grail list. Thank you!
The lack of a crown really makes this design for me, that simplicity and symmetry is so aesthetically pleasing.
By far the best watch related channel on TH-cam. Quality, references, everything is top notch.
7:02 I thought he was about to give it a Doug Score
Oi! Axomiya dekhun! Doug Demuro r sobei faida loise!
Paul Rajkhowa hahahahahahaha o takei tu
Like everyone..
I've heard of this watch and have seen pictures but never knew anything about it. It IS crazy! Thanks for making this.
I just love the aesthetics of this watch, so out there and bold without being gaudy.
I swear, this is the single best niche interest channel on TH-cam. I truly hope, Watchfinder appreciates your work, invisible hand man. Keep on!
Never been interested in fussy expensive watches, this however is utterly gorgeous and genuinely fascinating 👍
M8 you're on a channel for fussy expensive watches
2bit MarketAnarchist - yes I am. And?
@@davespooney8472 But you don't find them interesting?
2bit MarketAnarchist - not the more expensive ones simply coz they are so far out of my price range. I tend to focus more on the Seiko to Vostok classics. This watch however blew my mind, the price seems justified 👍
Both Seiko and Vostok make quality watches in ny opinion
Wow! Thanks for showing us this piece!
I still come back to this video from time to time. This watch is truly a masterpiece!
Truly!
I love how the 2 blue/green escape wheels create an optical illusion, because of their shape and movement, and with a bit of concentration you can see them rotate one way or the other
Have you been seeing some Doug DeMuro?
Hariharan Shekar ..... you can’t be serious. Sarcasm, right?
j p ?
If he was indian he would have been an engineer with undiscovered talent.
Once more an incredible video from Watchfinder with reference to another (second) favorite TH-cam channel! Keep up the great work!
Excellent, Elegant, Exquisite.... As always.... keep raising the bar for watch related content higher...
Doug DeMuro: *exists*
Watchfinder: It's free real estate!
Leave this format in 2019 please sir
@@George-lh8ol I doubt this is the last time you'll see this format, but don't worry, such things usually fade out naturally over time, but right now it still seems to be going strong.
That is most definetly one of the most beautiful "Blue Monsters" I have ever seen. It is just a wonderful mechanical watch!
Great video, an amazing watch!! Miniature engineering, invention and innovation at it's finest. All presented in a humorous and off the wall way.
Thanks for the great video. Is there a more 'budget' watch that presents a similar movement? It looks awesome
This is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a long time. Absolutely love it! 🔥🔥🔥
I swear I was spell bound when the minute hand moved as whole with the movement
I mean I really can't express
Truly lives it upto its name
I had more than a few chuckles from this video. Well done.
In just 3 minutes this became my top 3 favorite watches ever. Crazy
I wish I could like this twice. Finally, The Freak makes an appearance. Well done!
I was unaware this watch existed, Im happier having now seen it.
I'm in awe of this marvel of engineering.
Thanks for sharing.
I would have one in my collection if I could afford it. I like the concept and mechanical approach. Major Paradigm shift in watch making.
extremely interesting. i dont really like the "design" (if we should talk about how it looks) but i understand the watch is made this way for showing how revolutionary the movement is and i fully respect and admire its amazing engineering. great timepiece.
I like the Doug DeMuro shoutout
This watch is amazing. Great video. Keep up the good work.
Ulysse Nardin unassuming and uninteresting? No way! Almost all their timepieces are exquisite. If I had money, few would definitely join my collection.
The Freak is an amazing watch from one of the nicest watchmanufacturers. A lovely piece with such amazing workings.
"Anyway, now it's time to give the Ulysse Nardin Freak... " really thought he was gonna say Doug Score lmao
I enjoy watching these unique video's that you bring to us
I wish they would make this into a wall clock I could hang in my living room it's awesome looking.
"And then I'm going to put it on my wrist, and wear it"
No way, that's illegal.
Wow I'm actually blown away by this design. Goes to show that it is possible to come up with unusual design that you can stare at for hours.
I was patiently waiting for you to wear it, like you said it in the beginning of the video.
Another brilliant presentation!
Honestly, the mechanism looks actually pretty simple. The fact the minute hand drive gear is all the way on the end makes it so it can have a simple straight line drive train instead of having to wind back toward the center.
Pretty neat.
pretty simple, really? it is so complex, so smart and innovative, breaks all paradigms, its brilliant, genius, I haven't been so impressed since Patek Phillipe Perpetual Calendar
@@tiempoderelojes1 It's creative and genius, yes, but it is simple too. That's part of what makes it genius, being so unique and clever while still quite simple.
@@DAKOTA56777 agree to disagree, it has too much going on.
@@tiempoderelojes1 It only looks as if there's a lot going on because all the mechanical bits are exposed on the minute hand, but it's not a subjective interpretation that it's mechanically simple, it's a fact. This watch only has around 50 parts to it. That's not really any more than a simple traditional time only watch, and far less than those with complications like a perpetual calendar or chronograph, which tend to surpass 200 parts at the least.
@@DAKOTA56777 it doesn´t just rotate... it is a living tourbillon. Besides, it keeps time, at the same time it rotates in itself, they didn´t just add some more gears in it, it is very complex, yes simple, but complex, with a spring bar so huge, they just reinvented the watch, its a base for future models, its not just a carrousel...
What an incredible watch! Where can i win one?
Thank you for sharing this Doug!
A mate of mine is a Master watchmaker for Omega and he is absolutely fascinated by Ulysse Nardin complications.
Glad there are people developing these freaky, innovative pieces of art!
"I bet your watch doesn't have that"
Haha.. Love it
I can’t believe there was no Doug score on the freak
At first I thought oh that's neat and the more you explained it the more I loved it
I didn’t expect to like this watch but I do, it’s so complex yet so simple, the way you set the time and wind it is easy.
I thought you said you were going to wear it. UN makes the most interesting watch’s. They’re beautiful!
Me “sick maybe it’s affordable”
*looks up the Freak collection*
Aight imma go back to work
Beautiful piece of art!
Awesome video! The Freak is truly a work of art.
This is the kind of watch you'd find on a click-bait thumbnail
I used to just be happy with my Omega. Then I started watching this channel.
Lol!
Give me the omega
Bold, courageous and highly inovative design, engineering and watchmaking ! What else could be wished for?
The green gears seems to rotate in both directions depending on how you focus on it, pretty cool.
Doug Demuro is officially the GOAT
4:25 Somewhat of a face reveal.
wahahahahh almost missed it :D:D
Some Rolex reviews have better face reveals but good spotting. Soon he will be wearing a Stig helmet to block people IDing him.
@@Ray-gz4ut or a batman mask...
The setting of this watch is beyond extraordinary, WOW.
Amazing watch I have admired for years. Such an off the wall a design.
I’d totally buy one if they weren’t so expensive
I'd totally buy a Bugatti if they weren't so expensive xD
what's up with everyone jabbing at dough deMuro lmaooo
This is a gorgeous watch. Thanks.
Glad to see Ulysse Nardin getting some coverage 🙌
I think this is one of the only weird watches that I would consider getting, if I were rich.
What about the Lange digital?
@@xpusostomos If I had to choose one or the other, it would be the Lange hands down. I'm just saying if I was rich enough to buy $20,000 whimsical pieces I would pick this up.
Lange digital is not weird!
Tak & Söhne : really, how many other mechanical digitals can you point to?
Christopher Metcalf I fully agree. This thing is freaky cool.
Yeah, just give a watchfinder score too...
Brought a smile to my face.. BUT ALSO THE DADDY DOUG INTRO
Now I have to run to my watch-dealer to see how it looks on the wrist! Awesome work!
Me: searching Freak on EBay.
Ebay: dream on
Small mistake at 5:22 when he says "28800 beats per minute" (it's beat per hour)
Its beats by dr Dre
Wow awesome review , give me new exploration for new watches🔥
kudos on all those camera shots
Happy New Year Doug!🤣
Good one...
Was waiting for the WatchFinder Score but, no 😔
The minute hand looks like a fir-tree.
One of my all-time favourites.
I honestly cannot say that any mechanical watch has ever "freaked" me out, or even come close -- until I got to the Jacob&Co Astronomia series. Yes the Typhoon model freaked me out to the point where I dream about it.
0:21 The moment When Doug Demuro decided to review Watches !! Lol
i didnt understand context
My OCD is saying that those screws need to be tweaked to the same direction. I blame Grand Seiko.
I have rediscovered my lost childhood passion of throbing mainsprings, eternal tick tick tick.
Thanks for launching this channel.
Love from Pakistan😍😍😍😍😍
Anyone know the name of the background music? I think it's mesmerizing to listen every time I watch a Watchfinder video.
