Catalogue Essay
In a dazzling finale to the UR-220 collection, Urwerk channels the excess and indulgence of 1980s Miami with the UR-220 “Miami Vibe”. Clad in gleaming 4N red gold and pairing sublimely with a crisp white rubber strap, this striking timepiece showcases Urwerk’s trademark avant-garde watchmaking.
The cal. UR-7.20 satellite complication glides with mechanical poetry, as three rotating cubes display the wandering hours and retrograde minutes. Skeletonized to optimize power, each indication advances with hypnotic precision. The oil change indicator on the caseback also makes a welcomed return, providing at-a-glance monitoring of the movement’s optimal service intervals.
With a very limited production only 14 pieces made, the present UR-220 melds technical excellence with playful nostalgia. It is a fitting farewell to the UR-220 line, proving the brand still has the power to surprise while pushing boundaries of contemporary watchmaking. Offered in “like-new” condition with its full set of accessories, this is an impressive timepiece not to be missed.
Please note that Urwerk generously offers a complementary extended warranty for the watch to the winning bidder to two extra years following the date of the sale.

Urwerk
Swiss | 1997The Swiss firm's name "Urwerk" is a play on the German word meaning clockwork. "Ur" is an ancient Sumerian city in which the populace used sundials for timekeeping, while "werk" is German for creation. The company started by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei is known for their innovative avant-garde designs inspired by space travel. With their own take on time indication, like many of their contemporaries, their futuristic timepieces are rooted in high-end traditional watchmaking. Their signature floating method of time indication using rotating satellites traces back to a watch made in 1656. Producing only 150 watches per year, they have impressed connoisseurs with their innovativeness and cutting-edge technical prowess.
