Each dial was created by hand for about eight hours. Successive layers of blue enamel were applied to the gold, fired at about 800 degrees Celsius, thanks to which it gained the appropriate depth , intensity and shine .

In 2011, the brand took over the Donzé Cadran 's atelier, which has mastered traditional enamelling techniques. It was this atelier that took care of the laborious but effective process of covering the Freak X Gold Enamel dial with enamel.
How much does Ulysse Nardin Freak X Gold Enamel cost?What else? The 43mm case is made of blue PVD titanium with rose gold side elements. The whole thing is completed by a blue alligator strap with gold stitching.
Freak X Gold Enamel offers a 72-hour power reserve and water resistance to 50 meters. Sounds good? It costs the same. The watch is already available for sale for $48.5 thousand, or about 180 thousand złoty.

It was the first to use silicon in the mechanism and abandon traditional solutions such as hands , dials and crowns . The Freak X, presented in 2019, developed this concept. In this model, the entire mechanism rotates to indicate the time. The hour is shown by an indicator on a rotating disk, and the mechanism itself makes a full rotation every hour to indicate the minutes.
