The EMC
Time Hunter
Based on the first EMC generation rewarded twice by the GPHG, the new EMC enables its wearer to both monitor its precision as worn on the wrist as well as the amplitude of the watch. Interactivity remains at the heart of the EMC concept. Accuracy can then be easily adjusted for each owner's lifestyle rather than the controlled environment of the watchmaker's atelier.

MANUAL-WINDING GENERATOR
The EMC’s monitoring unit is powered by a micro-generator made by the Swiss company Maxon, known for developing motors for NASA’s Mars rovers.
DIAL WITH FOUR SEPARATE INDICATIONS
- Hours and minutes dial
- 80-hour power reserve indicator
- Seconds dial
- Precision and Amplitude indicators
MAINSPRING BARRELS IN SERIES
Power is provided by two large mainspring barrels connected in series, mounted vertically on a single shaft, providing a long 80-hour power reserve conducive to stable and linear timing performance.
BESPOKE BALANCE WHEEL
The balance is made non-magnetic and anti-corrosion ARCAP. Its dimensions and shape have been carefully calculated to optimise data from the optical sensor, maximise aerodynamic efficiency and minimise loss of amplitude.
OPTICAL SENSOR
When activated, a tiny optical sensor on the balance wheel captures the precise rate of oscillation of the 4 hertz / 28,800 vph regulator for a period of 3 seconds.
TIMING ADJUSTMENT SCREW
The precision can be adjusted by turning the screw on the back, which changes the active length of the spring. This allows the owner to adjust the time to suit his own lifestyle.
IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT
EMC is a fully 100% mechanical watch. The calibre was conceived, developed, crafted and calibrated in the URWERK ateliers.

"As a watchmaker, I am quite proud of URWERK developing, manufacturing, and regulating our own balance wheel for EMC as very few brands actually make and regulate their own balances and they really are the heart of mechanical movements."
