Well, the urge to go a little off the reservation has been satisfied.
Thanks to both Ron and John for their counsel a number of months ago, and to others that responded to a previous thread about this one.
Earlier this week I finally picked up the 105-CT Streamliner. Housing what is by now the signature Urwerk wandering hours display, this time the carrousel holding the hours reworked so that it's completely open. With a "hood" that flips up you have what I think is the best of both worlds; a clean focus on the wandering hours with the hood down and easy access to see the satellites, movement etc with the hood up.
While I think the Ti/Polished Steel model best highlights the watch's design/ case, for me the Ti/PVD Steel combination is just more wearable day to day. So far, and with the benefit of either short sleeves or being otherwise casually dressed I've found it very easy to wear, it's very light on the wrist and despite the size the absence of lugs mean the strap just hugs the wrist. Perhaps with the height it'll never be a watch worn under a short cuff, and besides it's a little too out there for business / formal settings.
Some quick pictures below showing the "hood" up and down. I'll try to take some better snaps at a later point and perhaps provide some updates on day-to-day wear.
A wrist shot.

Nice addition!
looks great on you! Congrats! Btw.. won’t those beads wear off the PVD coating soon? .. oh well YOLO. Enjoy! 🥂 HAGWE! Jen.
Huge Congrats 👏🏼 you made a excellent choice imo .
This is also a Urwerk thats on my list for a while now . So a little bit of envy my side 😉. Please enjoy it to the max 🙏🏻 and wear it in best of health 🙏🏻.
Congrats, and thank you for sharing! I am both awed and intrigued by this watch!
Would love to see how it operates real-time.
Urwerk reposted some videos from another owner recently on thier IG account' that'll give you a good sense.
But it's the same idea as AP's Starwheel for example.
Yes, that's it. While it's straight forward, and obviously a method of time display which dates way way back, I will say it does take your eyes a little while to adapt.
The first day or do it wasn't just simply glance at watch and know the time. But now my eyes/brain are on the same page and all is good!
Thanks. Yes, you need to see them in the metal as it's near impossible to know if it would be something ones wrist could pull off.
Hopefully there's an AD somewhere close by.
Unfortunately, no ADs near me.
But I have a business trip coming up soon to a city that does have one. Perhaps I can make arrangements to go by. I’m fairly sure I couldn’t pull it off as my wrists are rather small, but they look so cool, and I’d enjoy just seeing them.
My wrists are small also.
6.25 inches or so, and for a round case my preference these days is usually 40mm or below (38/39mm being optimal but I also wear a few 36mm watches). The Urwerk is a big watch, all of their models are. However without lugs generally there is no overhang o...
Interesting. It sounds like you and I have the same wrist size.
Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to trying one out.
Huge congrats! 105CT brings pure joy when strapped on the wrist
Just a friendly advice- in case you wonder if it's normal to open the hood 10 times a day, you've really got nothing to worry about haha! Ken ...
CONGRATS!!!
I can imagine you must be having a great tie wearing this watch EVERYDAY!!! The Nylon strap goes very well with URWERK watch. When I need to focus, I avoid wearing an URWERK because I spend too much time looking at it.
Thank you. It's gotten a lot of wear but not daily.
I am still spending far too much time staring at it however!
