Urwerk UR-100 Space Time

I thought I’d share even though many I assume have read and seen the details elsewhere. 


Limited to 25 pieces in each of the Black and Iron. Retail price is US$49,000.  In addition the “standard” satellite display / wandering hours the UR-100 also provides an indication of distance travelled on the earth’s rotation at the equator in 20 minutes and of the distance travelled by the earth around the sun in 20 minutes (don’t ask, I’m not the right guy!). 

I think the cases are PVD coated Titanium and Stainless Steel. 

Automatic movement, 48 hour power reserve and from the press package: 

Caliber 12.01

Powering the UR-100 SpaceTime is the automatic Caliber 12.01, with baseplates in ARCAP and a power reserve of 48 hours. The automatic winding rotor is regulated by a flat turbine, theWindfäng(Swiss German for “air trap”) that minimizes shocks to the rotor bearing and reduces over-winding and wear and tear. The rotor, which is partially supported on its periphery by the flat turbine, also has a larger diameter, resulting in a lower mass and therefore less wear.


In-house testing of the flat turbine rotor regulation system found that it provided significant and exponential protection against excessive rotor speeds (theWindfängerrotates six times for every rotation of the winding rotor). 




Here are the press pictures.

And some additional colour on where the idea for the additional indications came from....

The backstory is the inspiration came from a 19th century pendulum clock gifted to Felix by his father. The clock was made by Gustave Sandoz for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. It had a regulator style dial which instead of time showed the distance of t... 

To be seen in the flesh for sure.

The one consistent comment I got from a few people who’ve seen them in the metal was compared to the 105 this is a much thinner watch, so in that respect it seems smaller on the wrist. My suspicion however is that for smaller wrists it might wear larger t... 

Very very cool watches .

I saw the concept watch at last Basel world . I realy like it a lot . I can see myself wearing one in the near future 🙏🏻

I am with you on that . I think the Iron is the best looking from those two as well

I especially like the steel piece. Thank you for sharing this.

The first Urwerk that looks pretty wearable.
