For today..
Goldpfeil/Urwerk Chronometer. Most examples were in YG. It seems 5 were made in white gold. This is a WG example. I will make an effort to write and post as much Information as I’ve gathered in the near future. Have a good one everybody 👊 ...
🙏 I’m trying to do a bit of a deep dive
…on it, while comparing it to what came later 👊 I had a couple of straps made up but it took a while to fit them, which I won’t bore you with!
Never seen this one
Very cool. No writing at all on the dial. From my eye these look yellow gold...very warm wg example. Thanks for sharing.
Apologies…
bad lighting. I can see what you mean but definitely white gold. I have all the original accompaniments, paperwork, invoice etc… even the chronometer certificate. I’ll try and get some better photos 🙏
My GoldPfeil
by Frank Jutzi This is the Vianney Halter GoldPfeil, the one I really wanted but never stepped up to the price. ...
…an small aside, it would appear from the christiangros.ch website, that he made the cases for the Vianney Halter Goldpfeils.
Urwerk shared an atelier with Christian at the time, and from what I can deduce, also made these Urwerk/Goldpfeil cases and pin buckles. The pin buckle is a little work of art in itself 👊
Very funky...
...but I have a huge pet peeve about power reserves where 'full' is at the bottom : (
Well, interestingly (to me), and talking of the power reserve
if one has a sneak peak at the control board on the rear of some examples of the subsequently released UR 103. One would find a striking resemblance to the small seconds and power reserve indicator found on the dial of the Goldpfeil example.
With such a unique watch, I wonder
If you meet someone who wears it at the same time as you, do you become immediately friends for life? Cool to see something highly unusual
