The new UR-120 “Spock”
Oct 04, 2022,11:48 AM
As Ronald alluded to yesterday, a new Urwerk was announced with a new take on the satellite display.
You can see from the photos below that each satellite is now made of two pieces which come together to display the hour (as it moves along the minute track).
The press release from Urwerk indicates that (in addition to being inventive and wanting evolve their signature satellite display) this change was driven by a desire to go in a “thinner, smoother, more elegant direction”.
The surprise to me, as I referred to in my reply to Ronald was that the new watch has something rare for Urwerk, lugs ! I’m not sure how I feel about this, looks OK in pictures and if as presented they make the watch more wearable or comfortable on the wrist then it’s probably a win. The lugs are (a la DeBethune) articulated.
Some pictures. Enjoy.
