Model Spotlight: Ulysse Nardin Freak X + Skeleton X Watches
Ulysse Nardin has kicked off the year with a bold statement: We Xplore. We Xcite. We Xist. We are Ulysse. The brand, known for its intricately-crafted luxury timepieces, introduces its Freak X and Skeleton X. Needless to say, we at Feldmar are excited to showcase these timepieces, with Ulysse Nardin as this month’s Brand of the Month.
Freak X
Where form and design follow function. The new manufacture flying carousel movement of the Freak X rotates around its own axis without dial or hands. Considered to be Ulysse Nardin’s most audacious collection to date, the Freak X isn’t afraid to shake up the status quo. It is made for bold Xploration. The new Freak X is available in titanium, rose gold, black DLC or Carbonium®. There is no doubt that the Carbonium® version of this timepiece is the most spectacular, being that Ulysse Nardin is the first to use this next-generation material in a watch. Its resistance-to-lightness ratio is unparalleled and the marbling effect on each piece never repeats, meaning each watch case is absolutely unique.
Skeleton X
Inner beauty revealed, not concealed. The open-worked wonder that is the Skeleton X is the perfect showcase of the new X-ray vision of watchmaking. Dive into a world where you can see through things, explore the in-betweens of reality, and alter the rules of the world we live in. The new Skeleton X intricately cuts away as much material as possible in order to reveal the stunning beauty and three-dimensional heartbeat inside. The Skeleton X Xists in four different satin-finish versions: titanium blue, titanium black, rose gold and matte finish Carbonium® gold.

Scott’s favorite part about working at Feldmar is being a part of his family’s multi-generational business and having worked alongside his father. His accomplishments are many, including the expansion and remodel of the Feldmar flagship store, as well as a second location inside The Beverly Hilton.
Since attending Santa Monica College, Scott has become an expert in the technical aspects of the timepieces sold at Feldmar.

Scott is very proud of the way Feldmar customers are put first: “We regularly go out of our way to meet the needs of our clients. A client once purchased a rather significant watch as a birthday gift for his brother who lived in New York. Our client asked how we were going to deliver the gift and we responded with the typical answer, we would ship it by FedEx. After we answered his question, we could tell that he wanted a more personalized experience for the delivery and offered to have it hand-delivered by one of our associates. He lit up at the thought, and so off went one of our associates to New York City for the day to hand-deliver the gift.”
