    Urwerk

    Swiss • 1997

    The Swiss firm's name "Urwerk" is a play on the German word meaning clockwork. "Ur" is an ancient Sumerian city in which the populace used sundials for timekeeping, while "werk" is German for creation. The company started by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei is known for their innovative avant-garde designs inspired by space travel. With their own take on time indication, like many of their contemporaries, their futuristic timepieces are rooted in high-end traditional watchmaking. Their signature floating method of time indication using rotating satellites traces back to a watch made in 1656. Producing only 150 watches per year, they have impressed connoisseurs with their innovativeness and cutting-edge technical prowess.

Ref. UR105TA RG
One of only 100 pieces made. Urwerk has been at the cutting edge of independent watchmaking since 1997, originally known for revitalising the historical 'wandering hour' time display, they have since become the watch of choice for Iron Man himself, RDJ. The UR105TA combines the signature satellite time indication with Urwerk's innovative 'turbine' controlled automatic winding with a protective sports mode to lock the winding rotor on demand. This example, clad in black titanium and brushed rose gold, is complete with the original box and certificate.
