The independent Maison of Ulysse Nardin has long had ties to seafaring ways, and while they started out by manufacturing Marine Chronometers, their most emblematic creation of recent times is 'The Freak'. Utilizing a carousel tourbillon and arranging the gear train as an integral part of the minute hand, this 'Freak Blue Phantom' is an artistic and avant-garde expression of fine watchmaking. You'll notice the watch has no crown—that is because the case back contains a rotating bezel that can be used for time-setting and winding. Cased in white gold and complete with all its boxes and papers from new, this bold statement of watchmaking expertise is available for lovers of independent watchmaking during our #SothebysNewYork Fine Watches Sale, open now for bidding through 13 September.
