Presented in 2003, Urwerk debuted one of the most enduring and iconic watch of modern haute horlogerie, the UR-103. With an adventurous approach and ground-breaking complication, the timepiece features four three-dimensional orbiting and revolving satellites hour-display, a game-changer to time reading. Operated by an oversized crown, the control board sits on the reserves of the timepiece, it features a 43 hour power reserve indicator, a chronometer with minutes and seconds to facilitate accurate time-setting, and to gain optimal precision, an adjustment screw enables the wearer to fine tune and regulate adjustment to +/- 30 seconds per day.

The UR-103 was in production until 2010 and was made in a range of metals and styles, the present example sculpted in white gold is preserved in an attractive futuristic appeal with its sinuous form. Designed with coherent details throughout, the bright green glow of luminous material against the matte black dial enables maximum legibility, furthermore paired with a black crocodile strap with matching green stitch, the watch hugs the wearer’s wrist with extreme comfort and style. More than a horological sculpture, the UR-103 is an icon of 21st century watchmaking and a must have in a collection of independent creators.
