The UR-110 RG
The UR-110 RG with its red gold bezel consummately blends a golden touch of class with a high-tech Grade 5 titanium body.
"We are known for complications that require cutting-edge high-performance materials, yet gold has always been one of our favorite materials," says Felix Baumgartner, URWERK co-founder and chief watchmaker. "All of our collections feature a version crafted in this noble metal, from the very first UR-101 to the UR-110. More than a tradition, it is a milestone for us and we feel that a collection is only complete once a gold version has been created. Gold and titanium are the main components of this new UR-110, a watch of contrasts."
The UR-110 indicates time by means of a revolving satellite complication on planetary gears featuring three parallel hour/minute modules resembling torpedoes. The time is displayed on the right side of the watch, with the satellites following a vertical line - 0 to 60 minutes - in a downward motion. The ingenuity of this layout lies in allowing the wearer to view the time discreetly and elegantly without the need to pull back a cuff.
The UR-110 ST
The UR-110 ST sees URWERK continuing to embrace three-dimensionality in horological architecture. It is a model that well and truly appeals to the tactile senses, for it can even reveal itself when your eyes are closed. Run the tips of your fingers over its dial, and you will feel the perfect smoothness of the sapphire crystal soon replaced by grooves in the AlTiN bezel. Such a sensorial experience is just what URWERK co-founder and artist-designer Martin Frei wanted to create for the UR-110 ST's owner.
"A watch worn on a daily basis should be a source of pleasure – the primal pleasure of possession, naturally, but also the pleasure of the experience of it on the wrist," he says. "There is a quote I like from French poet and diplomat Paul Claudel: 'Sculpture is the need to touch.' I very much hope the UR-110 ST creates this need."
The UR-110 TTH
More robust than its stablemates, the UR-110 TTH is an imposing timepiece that commands respect from the very first glance. The UR-110 derives its strength from its bezel crafted in tantalum, a particularly hard and dense metal, well known for resistance to corrosion and for its bio-inertness. Indeed, the TTH stands for "Tantalum Hull". Naturally, the sapphire crystal of the UR-110 TTH has also been upgraded.
The armoured bezel of the UR-110 TTH boasts a thickness of 4.10mm (as opposed to 2.40mm on other UR-110 models). This huge piece, attached to the titanium case by six screws, gives it a battle-hardened character reinforced by the bluish-gray tint of the natural tantalum. Another feature with quasi-military overtones is the registration number etched on the sapphire crystal of the UR-110 TTH at 8 o'clock.
The UR-110 PT
The UR-110 is back on the scene, shedding its original titanium and steel case to retain the essentials:
Its ARCAP mainplate and planetary satellite complication. The UR-110 has got a second wind and with it, a platinum bezel for a decidedly vintage look.
The UR-110 PTH
The UR-110 PTH is a timepiece of contrast: red on black to be precise. With its imposing, reinforced blackened bezel, sand-blasted for a stunning matte finish, the UR-110 PTH just oozes strong character. URWERK were pioneers in blackening platinum with the UR-103 Blackbird back in 2006. With the metal's natural sheen disguised, only the weight of the UR-110 PTH betrays the presence of the platinum.
The UR-110 Back
More robust than its stablemates, the UR-110 TTH is an imposing timepiece that commands respect from the very first glance.
