The Urwerk UR-100V LightSpeed is more than just a watch; is a narrative of the time it takes for light to reach the planets of our solar system. This model combines the love of science fiction and astronomy that co-creators Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei put into every part of their creation.
The inspiration for the URWERK UR-100V LightSpeed comes from the 17th century, when the Campani brothers created papal night watches with a walking clock display. URWERK has developed this concept into its signature 'UR-SATELLITE' collection, where the watch shows the time with a satellite system that resembles the orbits of the planets.
At the heart of the watch is the UR 12.02 self-winding mechanism, equipped with a 'Windfänger airscrew', which prevents excessive rotation of the massive mass and thus reduces wear. The case of the watch is made of black carbon fiber (54-layer ThinPly) and combined with a back cover of sandblasted DLC-treated grade 5 titanium.
Thanks to its visionary design and technical perfection, the URWERK UR-100V LightSpeed represents the triumph of modern watchmaking, where past, present and future merge into an eternal present on the wearer's wrist.
The UR-100V “LightSpeed” is available for inquiry via the official URWERK website, and the watch is priced at CHF 65,000 (approx. USD 74,599).
