The Freak - was really cool to look at in real life. When it comes to how it felt, not sure what to think. It is titanium with a rubber strap and a very cheap feeling clasp, resulting in a toy-like feel (very light and rubbery). The clasp kept opening by mistake and did not feel robust.

Guess it is part of the experience, this watch does not feel as any other £22k watch that I have tried. It was comfortable though and it did feel like a real enthusiast playground, unique and fun.

The original Freaks that’s much more expensive are pretty cool with the movement mounted on the hour hand. I remember when these Freak-“lights” came out. Made special trip to store in NYC on Black Friday to see it. Boutique didn’t have it-that was around the corner from a PHENOMENAL hotel breakfast so we went to Wempe I think to see it. Was disappointed when I saw it in person because I really wanted it but it didn’t seem “right” or worth the price. But it’s still a pretty cool piece. I know that’s somewhat contradictory. Carry on ….
