As a watch dealer and former engineer I will admit that I like something different than most people. Ulysse Nardin Freak X Ti Black (Ref. 2303-270) certainly checks that box and is mesmerizing to watch run. This bridges an avant-garde βno-dialβ carousel movement to a lightweight titanium black watch. That case utilizes Titanium with Black DLC for that matt black finish.
The movement itself rotates around the dial every hour with the central bridge of the movement acting as the minute hand. The UN-230 provides a 72 hour power reserve and the addition of the crown for easier setting and winding, different from older models.
In 2001, putting silicon in a watch was considered insane. It was an aerospace and computer-chip material. Because silicon can be carved with microscopic precision and is naturally frictionless, the Freak proved that mechanical watches didn't need wet, messy lubricants and oils that dry up over time. High-end brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Omega watched what Ulysse Nardin did, realized it was the future, and scrambled to copy them. Today, almost every high-end luxury watch uses silicon hairsprings and escape wheels directly because of this exact watch line.
