Ulysse Nardin’s USD $190,700 Freak [S Howlite] Has a Dial Made From Canadian Stone

Key points

• Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin has unveiled the Freak [S Howlite], a watch limited to 15 pieces and sold exclusively in North America. It costs USD $190,700, roughly AUD $275,500 before tax.
• Its rotating hour disc is cut from natural Canadian howlite, a white mineral with grey veining, so each watch looks slightly different. The 45mm titanium case houses the UN-251 automatic movement, which has 373 components and a 72-hour power reserve.
• The watch has no hands, no conventional dial and no crown.
