Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel Seddiqi

The 30-piece limited-edition Freak X Enamel Seddiqi marries métiers d’art techniques with state-of-the-art watchmaking, and celebrates the partnership between elite Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the Middle East’s leading luxury watch retailer.

Ulysse Nardin, the independent Swiss watch maison that has been disrupting haute horlogerie since 1846, is delighted to introduce the new Freak X Enamel Seddiqi, a watch that celebrates shared cultures, traditions and artistic passions that span continents.

The Freak X Enamel Seddiqi is based on the design and movement properties of a 21st century watchmaking icon, Ulysse Nardin’s Freak, which rewrote the horological rulebook when it was introduced in 2001 by pioneering the use of silicon technology in watchmaking.

The exclusive new watch builds on the timeless story of the Freak’s ‘no hands and no dial’ movement architecture, and tells it afresh with an exquisite guilloché and enamelled hour disc that highlights Ulysse Nardin’s mastery of métiers d’art.

Coloured in “Yas Blue” enamel to echo the piercing electric blue of the evening sky as the sun sets over the waters of the Gulf of Arabia, the Freak X Enamel Seddiqi’s hour disc is the work of very skilled artisans at Ulysse Nardin’s Donzé Cadrans Manufacture in Le Locle and the result of a complex, painstaking process.
