Introducing URWERK Transcends Time and Space: The Launch of UR-120 Space Black

Blending Cutting-Edge Technology and Science Fiction, URWERK Redefines Horological Artistry with the UR-120 Space Black - A Testament to Futuristic Design and Mechanic Mastery

Unveiling its newest creation, URWERK has set the horological world alight with the launch of the UR-120 Space Black. The groundbreaking timepiece, born from the vision of designer Martin Frei, stands as a testament to URWERK's commitment to advancing watchmaking and reshaping perceptions of design. This avant-garde masterpiece is much more than a mere instrument of timekeeping; it's an artistic expression that bridges the gap between generations in the watch industry.

The UR-120 Space Black's design is underpinned by a dark, sophisticated canvas of black DLC and sandblasted titanium, augmented by contrasting neon yellow accents that accentuate its futuristic aesthetic. URWERK's dedication to innovation is evident in the UR-120's satellite hour-cube indicators, a feature that adds another layer to the brand's already remarkable signature wandering hours. The cubes split, rotate, and converge to display the hours in a mesmerizing display of mechanical ingenuity.

The watch case, measuring 44mm long, 47mm wide, and 15.8mm thick, is crafted from a blend of stainless steel and titanium, and incorporates articulated lugs for enhanced wearability. These dimensions, combined with the ergonomic design, contribute to a comfortable wearing experience that does not compromise on style or innovation.

Powering this exquisite timepiece is the caliber UR-20.01, based on the Zenith Elite automatic movement. This complex mechanism offers a 48-hour power reserve and underpins the watch's unique time-displaying features.

A nod to the world of science fiction, the UR-120's satellite system draws inspiration from the iconic Vulcan salute from Star Trek. This system revolves and displays the numerals in a unique and visually captivating manner that takes horology to new dimensions.

Available through authorized retailers, the UR-120 Space Black retails at CHF 110,000, or roughly USD 122,510. It's a price that reflects not just the watch's advanced technology and design but also its place as a symbol of URWERK's relentless pursuit of horological innovation.

In summary, the UR-120 Space Black is more than just a timepiece. It's a harmonious blend of technology, celestial inspiration, and science fiction elements; an emblem of URWERK's ambition to push boundaries. It offers not just a way to keep time, but a unique, visually captivating experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to witness its beauty and complexity.
