FRAME was engaged by Ulysse Nardin and URWERK, two fixtures of today’s modern high-end Swiss watch industry, to produce a film for their new groundbreaking collaborative project. Introducing the UR-FREAK.

The UR-FREAK revisits Ulysse Nardin’s legendary Freak through URWERK’s uncompromising lens. A mechanical dialogue where two independent forces of Swiss watchmaking converge to create a singular vision.

With the spirit of crossovers and collaborations now deeply part of contemporary high-end watchmaking culture, this highly exclusive creation as a concept should be readily understandable by watch enthusiasts and collectors. For Ulysse Nardin and URWERK, the UR-FREAK is the perfect fusion between the avant-garde Freak concept and the innovative URWERK time display. The spirit is fueled by the desire to merge expert know-how and unique company masteries that yield previously unimaginable new designs and concepts.

To commemorate its 160th year as one of the world’s leading watchmakers, Zenith teamed up with Frame to create a series of short films highlighting an extremely limited edition release of its three hero products.

The iconic Pilot, Defy and Chronomaster Sport have each been reissued in a cool Zenith blue monochrome edition to mark 160 years of the brand. Strictly limited to 160 pieces, these unique timepieces have been crafted in ceramic to provide a stunning finish that also underlines Zenith’s commitment to mastering the most complicated of materials.

In addition, the brand used the campaign as an opportunity to reintroduce its core collection to the world, featuring the Pilot, Defy and Chronomaster Sport in their original materials and colourways. Reminding the world of why the brand has been synonymous with the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865.
