BaselWorld 2015 - URWERK

URWERK showed two new models this year, the UR-1001 and the UR-105TA.

The UR-1001 is more like a table clock than a watch, but it does include a demountable frame and strap for those who need to strengthen one arm.
The UR-1001 shows the time and the date with an URWERK typical satelites.
Along with the "oil change" indicator when it is time for a service, the watch also has 100 year and 1000 year counters.  Enough for simple usage at home I guess.

Just the right size for a dainty female wrist. Althought large parts of the watch/clock are made in titanium the watch is surprisingly heavy.

Getting back to a more wearable size the UR-105TA is new with the use of new weight saving mterials, most notably plastic.  The black top of the satellite carrier is made of machined PEEK.  PEEK is a quit expensive plastic which has some remarkable properties is used very often as a even lighter replacement for aluminum.  The satellites themselves are made of aluminum.

As we can see here the satellites can be had in other colors....

such as yellow and orange.

Wow! I love them!
