Created by Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, the Freak model features a carrousel regulation. Developed to be used without a winding crown or traditional hands, the escapement forms the minute indicator and the hours are displayed via a large triangular-tipped indicator sitting beneath the escapement. The mainspring is wound by rotating the case back and the time is set by rotating the bezel.
