In 2017 Urwerk celebrates its 20th birthday.
For this celebration URWERK presents 2 new models at the SIHH, the UR-T8 and the UR106 Flower Power

The UR-T8 is URWERKs first transformable.  By releasing 2 catches the case can be lifted and rotated by 180°.
The watch is massive, but being made to a large part in titanium on the wrist it is lighter and easier to wear than expected.
The time display is a further variation of the well known URWERK carousel with its differential planets.
The UR-T8 is available in 2 versions, black and gray and all black.

The UR-106 Flower Power is a newly decorated version of the UR-106, very convincing.
































About the Independents Ref. UR-106

The UR-106 Flower Power is a distinctive iteration within URWERK's UR-106 series, known for its satellite time display and unique aesthetic. This particular model emphasizes decorative elements, offering a fresh visual interpretation of the established UR-106 design.

The UR-106 features a satellite complication with three hour satellites, each carrying four hour numerals, rotating on a carousel. Minute indication is provided by a retrograde hand. The movement is self-winding. Case dimensions and material details are specific to the UR-106 series, often incorporating lightweight materials for wearability.

For collectors, the UR-106 Flower Power represents URWERK's exploration of artistic expression within its signature mechanical architecture. It appeals to those who appreciate the brand's technical innovation combined with a more decorative and thematic approach to watch design.

you would wear it dial down, after the novelty of rotation wears off?

When Urwerk was in Taiwan they told me for the SIHH they will have a big watch, they certainly not kidding.
