Founded in 1995 by watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and industrial designer Martin Frei, Urwerk’s watches are playfully futuristic, influenced by a passion for space travel and science fiction. Their first wristwatches were released in 1997 with the references UR 101 and 102 featuring a wandering hour time display. In 2019, Urwerk released the UR-100 collection, a novel line of spectacular timepieces that push the limits of futuristic timekeeping featuring their unique and innovative wandering hours complication.

The UR-100V is one of the most interesting and intriguing timepieces available today. The watch offers a unique perspective on time and space and follows the brand’s philosophy of reaching to the outer limits of the universe. The UR-100V not only tells time, but features an astronomical scale for allowing the wearer to measure the time it takes for sunlight to reach various planets. A rotating hand completes a full revolution every three hours pointing to a corresponding planet and the light-travel time.

This limited edition wristwatch is in “like new”, hardly ever worn condition, and is offered complete with warranty and presentation box. This rare Urwerk is a wonderful representation of the innovative work by the brand with an unconventional way to tell time that challenges the traditional norms of fine Swiss watchmaking.
