• Ulysse Nardin InnoVision Freak sat



    Na sledećem linku možete pročitati kojih 10 inovacija čine ovaj sat toliko tehnološki naprednim: http://watchluxus.com/ulysse-nardin-...novision-freak

    Innovation 1- Barrel on ball bearings. A 96 balls, non lubricated ball bearing guides the barrel both vertically and laterally. This solution is on the market since 2005.

    Innovation 2 - "Dual Ulysse" escapement. The "Dual Ulysse" escapement does not need any lubrication. Its reduced angle of lift (31 degrees) provides a great advantage. It is on the market since 2005.

    Innovation 3 - Silicium bearings. Lubrication free bearings in silicium are fitted into the brass base plate. No oil recesses are necessary.

    Innovation 4 - DRIE precision and low friction advantages put together. The escapement bridge made in solid silicium benefits from the high precision of the process. The good friction coefficient of silicium is another advantage. The movement designer is free to design holes very close to the exterior of the bridge as no jewels are required.

    Innovation 5 - The reinforced silicium bridge. Due to the combination of 2 technologies DRIE and LIGA, Sigatec, Mimotec and Ulysse Nardin have produced a bi-material bridge which performs extremely well. The exclusive process stands for precision, silicium stands for low friction and nickel stands for mechanical toughness.

    Innovation 6 - Exploiting the elasticity of silicium. Ulysse Nardin developed the revolutionary shock absorber bearing into the balance wheel shaft which pivots in the centre of the silicium disc. The elastic spiral shaped silicium disc deforms itself when shocks arise and returns to its original position immediately after the shock has been absorbed.

    Innovation 7 - Silicium hairspring.

    Innovation 8 - Roller and Pin. The roller and pin are made in one precise single component in the double sided DRIE process developed by Sigatec.

    Innovation 9 - Stopper fork and security pin of the "Dual Ulysse" escapement. The" Dual Ulysse" escapement " blocker " is a multifunctional element. Similarly to the anchor of the Swiss Anchor escapement, it bares a safety-pin which must be perfectly aligned. Thanks to the double side etching process created by Sigatec, this former multi part unit can be made as a single component not requiring any assembly or touch up.

    Innovation 10 - Two-level process. The escapement wheel and pinion are made in one single piece thanks to the two level etching process created by Sigatec. This new technology will seduce many movement designers all over the world.


    Nažalost ovaj sat je prototip koji se pojavio još 2007. godine, a kada će, i da li će se pojaviti u prodaji jednog dana ostaje samo da nagađamo i da se nadamo. Neke od inovacija prikazanih u ovom prototipu su ugledale svetlost dana u satovima kao što su na primer Sonata Silicium ili Freak DIAMonSIL.

    Mehanizam u ovom satu je najbliži apsolutnom savršenstvu koje za mene predstavlja samo jedno: VEČITI MEHANIZAM. Pod ovim terminom podrazumevam mehanizam koji se prilikom normalne upotrebe NIKADA ne mora servisirati.
    Iskreno se nadam da će se ovakav mehanizam napraviti za vreme naših života kako bismo mu se ako ništa drugo onda barem divili. Takav mehanizam u kombinaciji sa ultra otpornim i izdržljivim kućištem bez ikakvih dihtunga i slabih spojeva je za mene pojam "Svetog Grala" odnosno "Savršenog sata".

    Verujem da će se ovakav sat jednog dana napraviti i biti dostupan nekolicini srećnika, a vreme će pokazati da li sam bio u pravu...
