Introducing: The Urwerk UR
The article introduces the Urwerk UR-150 Golden Scorpion, a new luxury watch featuring a curved titanium case and a distinctive satellite display with a retrograde minutes hand. Powered by the automatic UR-50.01 calibre, this limited edition timepiece is priced at CHF 105,000.
Why it matters
This release highlights the continued innovation and craftsmanship in high-end horology, catering to collectors and enthusiasts of unique mechanical watches, and showcasing the blend of advanced engineering with artistic design in luxury goods.
The case retains the curved, ergonomic construction of the UR-150 series, measuring 42.5mm wide, 51mm long and 14.8mm thick. The upper surface and flanks are sandblasted, microbead-blasted and satin-finished. A domed sapphire crystal reveals the display, while the Grade 5 titanium caseback is finished in black PVD. The screw-down crown contributes to 50m water resistance.
The signature display remains. Three satellites rotate on a central flying carousel, with the active hour shown within the retrograde minutes hand that travels across a 240-degree arc. At the end of each hour, the hand returns to its starting point in just one hundredth of a second, and the satellites simultaneously turn for the next hour.
