The new Urwerk 105-CT TTH (Tantalum Hull)
Well, as we would expect another 105-CT from Urwerk, changing up the case materials as we’ve seen with other iterations.
This time, Tantalum. Many of us here are suckers for Tantalum, myself included, and my biased opinion on this would be it just rocks. I love it, this is THE 105-CT to own.
It’s a limited run of 12 pieces, and from what I understand will mark the end of this model. Urwerk have limited bandwidth, by design, and so retiring models is part of the juggling of production capacity.
A quote from Martin Frei, co-founder of Urwerk, in the press pack:
“Tantalum is a very special metal. Its name comes from Tantalus, one of Greek mythology’s bad boys. Tantalum is precious, rare, and extremely painful to machine and finish. We made an UR-110 out of tantalum a few years ago – a first that almost was the last. The team made me promise never to use it again because tantalum ‘eats’ our CNC machines’ bits. It destroys them, reducing their life by a factor of three. But I love its blue-gray luster. Pure magic!”

Look at that Tantalum goodness !
The new Urwerk 105-CT TTH (Tantalum Hull)
You could have 3 Tellurides !
This Tantalum isn’t $150k, but instead listed at a much more affordable 😳 $88k.
Brushed tantalum looks amazing!
Misleading, the entire case is not Tantalum.
Would be nice to have, but out..
No question Ronald, these are very expensive watches.
Well, no.
I’ve not seen that quoted anywhere. But note the case is Tantalum and Titanium.
Sick!!!
I expect it to be amazing Peter.
I still like the 105 Kryptonite one a lot though.
the kryptonite is dark and awesome
couldn't agree more!!
