The Freak abandoned traditional hands, dial, and crown, using its own rotating movement to tell time and incorporating the first-ever pure silicon (Silicon\/Silicium) escape components in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand remains at the technological forefront in the use of microstructured physics materials (such as diamonSIL, a silicon compound coated in synthetic diamond), combining this engineering with classic artisanal techniques like Grand Feu enameling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/winabrand.com\/en\/collections\/ulysse-nardin.oembed","provider":"WINABRAND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
