UR-102 Reloaded

The UR-102 Reloaded

This is doubtless the most eagerly anticipated URWERK collection. It is not, however, the most complex, nor the most singular. But it is the one that seals the beginning of the adventure, the starting point. A round URWERK watch … – yet hands-free, the only focal point being an hour unit gliding along a semi-circular track. The 102 collection launched at Baselworld 1997 has not aged a bit. After a few adjustments to blend in with the times, the UR-102 "reloaded" is now presented in a boxed set containing its two versions: one in titanium, the other in signature URWERK black.

UR 102 Reloaded insights

In over two decades, this watch has grown in strength and size. It is now a respectable 41 mm in diameter compared to the 38 mm of its original version. 

Its lugs are larger, recalling the attachments on the Sputnik space satellite: solid, angular and designed to ideally position the "machine" on the wrist.

The strategic move of the crown  to 4 o'clock led to a change in the opening for reading the time…

… no longer a perfect semi-circle, this ‘window’ is wider with sloping edges, giving it a fresher, more dynamic look.
