But both are great calibers
Oct 20, 2020,18:31 PM
Both the Zenith and GP calibers are solidly constructed. In using them I think Urwerk has been able to focus on the enhancement and design without worries on the core movement quality.
In fact MB&F has used the GP caliber in their HM2.
It is a pity though that Zenith and GP do not get the respect and price they deserve.

The Future Vision
By: Jay (Eire) : October 20th, 2020-05:55
I had written a post at the weekend, when I took these pictures, but for some reason the post never showed up and I didn’t have a draft. I was, am, too lazy to rewrite it. However the gist of that original post was regarding the vision of Urwerk and wheth...

I think there very creative and inovatief, (time telling and designs) i own a 103 and love it . So cool to see it on the wrist . Not all there watches are on my wishlist but i hope to be able to add one or two more in the near future .
You may very well be right re 150.

That’s the number I recall from conversations a year or two ago. I was going high with my 200, which is still a very small number. I do think that even among our group familiarity with Urwerk would be pretty limited and for sure not many have had opportun...
Urwerk uses certain base calibers
By: chintu : October 20th, 2020-09:14
While Urwerk is truly original when it comes to the satellite and rotating hands display, it would be useful to point out that they use base calibers from Zenith ( Elite caliber) and Girard Perregaux . If I recall right, the EMC was however a ground-up co...

If that was their goal I would say they absolutely achieved it

A piece like one of my personal grails, the UR210 looks as fresh today as the day it was released... nothing stale really about any of their watches in my opinion, only that these days we are spoiled for choice and also that we expose ourselves 100s or 10...
Post got cut off due to dreaded Ampersand sign🤦♂️

... the same could be said for MB-AND-F. The truth is they know their strengths and do a wonderful job in making watches that enough people want to buy to keep the business and their vision moving forward. Give me a UR210 and a LM2 or 101 and I could easi...

showing the world that Swiss Watchmaking doesn't need to be backward-looking, entrenched in heritage and ages-old craftmanship. They remind us that watchmaking used to be all about innovating, for hundreds of years (except roughly the past 50 or so). And ...
Yikes! I guess I am!

I guess I'm a little hypocritical, I try to avoid fanboyism but it looks like I'm a total fanboy when it comes to Urwerk and MB&F. Ok, I'll turn the fanboyism down a bit! But seriously, what a cool watch! I know, I know, I'm supposed to turn it down a...
