Some words from Martin Frei as to the UR-202S bracelet...
I had envisioned the UR-202 with a metal bracelet even before we made the Alligator strap.
Technically therefor the Leather strap is rather shaped after the metal band, and not the other way around.
Finally
they both have to fit to the shape of the watch perfectly.
The stunning
fact that one strap is crafted out of the skin of an over 230 million
Years old species and in
sharp contrast the bracelet, forged by man made machines, cut out of
perfect steel, coated by the use of hi-tech technology, makes the two
solutions URWERK offers to strap the UR-202 watch to your wrist radically different from each other.
Urwerk: Making the UR-202S Bracelet
I got some good pictures today from Urwerk showing the making of the bracelet for the UR-202S. It has been a wish of Martin Frei to make a metal bracelet for many years, but it is just this year that they decided to go for it. They gave the order to Maspo...
Now that is what I call a great post
I would love tro visit a place like that and get to understand the entire process related to manufacturing a steel bracelet. Thanks for sharing. Regards, George
