The Urwerk UR-100V \u201cUltraViolet\u201d<\/strong> represents a daring fusion of vibrant aesthetics and forward-thinking engineering that has become the hallmark of this independent Swiss watchmaking brand. Housed in a titanium case<\/strong> with a violet-tone DLC coating<\/strong>, the UR-100V UltraViolet immediately stands apart for its bold color\u2014an intense shade inspired by the highest frequency within the visible spectrum, reflecting Urwerk\u2019s philosophy of challenging boundaries. The 41mm x 49.7mm case is sanded and shot-blasted for a matte texture that underscores the watch\u2019s futuristic vibe, while the domed sapphire crystal allows a clear view of the brand\u2019s trademark satellite hour display.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this kinetic wonder lies the Caliber UR-12.02<\/strong>, an automatic movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz)<\/strong> and boasting a 48-hour power reserve<\/strong>. Urwerk\u2019s ingenious satellite hour<\/strong> indication features rotating \u201cpyramids\u201d that sweep across a lower arc of the dial to display the minutes before disappearing beneath a large shield. Once their hour has elapsed, these pointers re-emerge on the opposite side of the dial to track two cosmic metrics in 20-minute intervals: the distance traveled on Earth\u2019s equator<\/strong> (approximately 555 kilometers) and the distance Earth journeys around the Sun<\/strong> (35,740 kilometers). These inventive displays speak to Urwerk\u2019s fascination with space, merging astronomy and horology in a captivating manner.<\/p>\n

Complementing its avant-garde design, the movement\u2019s finishing is meticulously executed\u2014circular graining, shot-blasting, satin finishing<\/strong>, and chamfered screw heads are all on display through open sections of the dial and the partially visible caseback. A textured rubber strap<\/strong> with a titanium pin buckle completes the ensemble, ensuring comfortable wear despite the watch\u2019s futuristic proportions.<\/p>\n

Urwerk – bio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Felix Baumgartner (co-founder and master watchmaker) and Martin Frei (co-founder and chief designer) first met in 1995 to discuss developing a watch. The young men were united by their common passion for measuring and portraying time. A long discussion, a sharing of philosophies and dreams, culminated in a decision to create their own vision of time.
\nThey founded URWERK in 1997 and presented their first timepiece at Baselworld that same year.<\/p>\n
