JLC.thomsen shares a deeply personal reflection on his Urwerk 103 PT, fresh from service. His post transcends a simple 'watch appreciation' to explore the profound connection collectors develop with their timepieces, highlighting the unique artistry and 'Rockn'Roll' spirit he attributes to Urwerk's creations. This article delves into the enduring appeal of independent watchmaking and the special bond between a collector and a horological masterpiece.
Back from service in Switzerland. Just love this 103 PT. more and more. I remember when I first got it on a summer day and I felt like listening to AC⚡️DC., which I did. This watch is so Rockn’Roll.
Today it’s just a deep affection for this great creation.
Thank you Felix and Martin for risking your life to get this thing on the planet.
