The successor to the UR-110 is finally here after more than a decade, and it is a highly logical advancement. In partnership with The Hour Glass.
To call Urwerk’s creations “watches” can be a bit of a stretch. To the layman, they resemble little spaceships you can strap to your wrist, with a display that looks like it can just as likely generate a warp field as tell the time. So, co-founder and artistic director Martin Frei’s desire to redesign the award-winning UR-110 to “go in a thinner, smoother, more elegant direction” was both intriguing and baffling, as “elegant” is another word that people don’t immediately associate with Urwerk.
The calibre UR-20.01 uses the same concept of a carousel fitted with three arms, each bearing a satellite for the hours. When a satellite reaches the left side of the dial, it actuates a trigger that changes the satellite face – and this is where the magic happens. Instead of simply rotating to show the new hour, the satelliteto reveal two rectangular studs that resemble the V-shaped Vulcan salute Spock is known for, thus earning the watch its nickname.
