  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 2015, the UR-210S clearly showcases the true DNA of the brand in all its technicality, unusual display, and mechanical prowess. Showcasing their signature complication with wandering hour, retrograde minute hand and control panel to the caseback, the timepiece feels extremely well balanced.

    Extremely intuitive and technically impressive, the control panel on the caseback allows to control the automatic winding rotor depending on the activity of its wearer. Three different settings are available; full, reduced & stop. On the dial, the UR-210S satellites complication is showcased in all its greatness. The minute hand's course is defined by the rotation of a double coaxial star-shaped cam, which also serves as a gear for controlling the retrograde mechanism that runs on a 120° journey. To the extremity of the dial sits a power reserve indicator and more interestingly a winding efficiency indicator, which in essence calculates the difference between the consumed and generated energy of the mainspring.

    Showcasing a fully brushed stainless steel bracelet and case, the combination of the two render the timepiece very luminous on the wrist. Sporty yet equally discreet, the present Urwerk UR-210S is part of a limited edition of 35 pieces of which the present example is number 01. In excellent overall condition, the timepiece is further accompanied by the Urwerk International Warranty dated May 2020, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging.

    Within 6 months from the purchase of the present timepiece Urwerk generously offers a complete service.

  • Artist Biography

    Urwerk

    Swiss • 1997

    The 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.
