The Urwerk UR-105 TA is presented here as a unique example, underscoring Urwerk’s reputation for experimental, one off creations. Founded in 1997 by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei, Urwerk has consistently challenged traditional watchmaking codes through its futuristic designs, satellite displays, and innovative mechanical concepts, positioning itself at the forefront of contemporary independent horology.
Executed in a striking combination of bronze and titanium, the watch embodies the brand’s space age aesthetic and highly technical approach. It features Urwerk’s signature satellite hour display, protected by a hinged cover, and is further distinguished by a rear mounted turbine system with adjustable torque selector, allowing the wearer to actively regulate the winding behaviour of the movement.
As a unique piece, the present UR-105 TA represents an exceptional expression of Urwerk’s mechanical ingenuity and artistic freedom, occupying a special place within the brand’s production and appealing to collectors of cutting-edge horology.
