Hmmm, too, trying hard to love this one
as I love everything else from La Maison Urwerk. Unfortunately, this one just appears plasticky and cheap to my eyes. It just does not ooze the refinement and finish of other Urwerk models. Maybe I'll think differently if I see it in the metal....
Thanks for the great report, Don!

Living with an URWERK UR-105TA watch
Living with an URWERK UR-105TA watch The Urwerk brand is known for its modernistic, very polarizing style, but at the same time a high level of watchmaking competence. This is a logical consequence of the constellation of the company with its two founders...
thanks for this great article. What I particularly like about the new UR-105TA in
orange and yellow is that Urwerk really tried to go out of their comfort zone and offer something we weren't really expecting from them
Hm....
I don't know, I love Urwerk (I have a 210) but can't say I like the 105 series. Then again I love the Cobra CC1 and no one I know thinks it's a good looking watch.
CC1 love
I love the CC1 as well. Where Patek failed to achieve the linear time indicator, Urwerk not only succeeded but made it look great!
Don thanks for the review. I do not think i could go with...
The yellow or orange satellites or straps. How much does it weigh including the strap?
We have a few orange-loving PuristS here and I wonder
Do our orange-loving PuristS like this watch? Mr Orange? Andrew Luff? That Californian Chap? I couldn't...... :-) MTF
Well I might of Magnus....
but it would have had to tick all the boxes, which unfortunately was not the case :) Cheers Andrew
I was tempted...
and almost picked up the phone immediately after seeing the original press release, but got to wear the lemon one for a while and to be honest it felt really cheap and plastic. I know they are trying to lower the price point with this piece and do somethi...
Ho Hum; maybe that's why I do not have any Urwerke
Thanks for the feedback. I have no Urwerke watches. More importantly, my unerringly accurate arbiter of trends and fashion - the current Mrs MTF - did not get excited about any Urwerke watches, ever. She has spotted every major trend and success in watche...
Excellent article Don!
You enjoyed a lot the watch and it deserves it. To be honest with you, it is not my fav Urwerk but I have to congratulate Urwerk for having walked on a different path with this colorful approach. Fx
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the great review and pictures Don! Urwerk will always be one of my favorite brands out there! Their innovation in time indication, design and execution just does it for me. Hopefully I can own one in this lifetime :) I think I saw some posts on...

Interesting watch and a great effort from Urwerk
I like the idea and concept, and was impressed when I handled it a few months ago when they brought the watches here to show some of us in Kuala Lumpur. I just couldn\'t pull off the orange though, even though I like the playfulness of the watch.
What a fantastic post!
I love all your pics and especially the "wrist shot." I bet nobody in a million years would guess this an expensive timepiece with such intricacies. Thanks for sharing!!!
Some Lemon pics
I had a quick chance to try on a 105-TA Lemon today. Just the different color gives the watch a very different feeling. The yellow is intriguing, not canary yellow, not going into lime as some of my pictures seem to be, but yes, not a simple yellow. A mat...
