Actually I've been a bit disappointed with space one
The first model was a basic jumping hours with a design too similar to De Bethune.
The price was fair but I'm expecting much more
To be different; there are many paths.
Urwerk 105-CT. Still my only Urwerk despite strong desires to own another. For now, and for the past several years, more conventional watches have been winning out. That’s how it goes, one can’t have them all!!! As the “only” one however it’s a good one t...

I need to wear watches that have their own language. Urwerk is out of my reach but I'm on love with their past creations, where design and time display are as unusual add captivating. I can say the same for MB&F, which is the undisputed king. Urwerk's wat...
I also love their older watches, the ancestors of this 105.
There are many out there, little demand it seems and so prices feel weak. But even at those weak prices it’s still a lot of money for a watch. I do find SpaceOne an interesting alternative. Have you looked at those? And I expect we will continue to see mo...

I agree with you we are all different
and seek divergent paths. I don't seem to appreciate Urwerk quite like you do but that's just a matter of personal preference. The common theme is that we all love our watches!
Indeed.
I think for Urwerk it’s more of that refreshing feeling; I’ve been wearing round watches for thirty years, and so I was actively looking for something different for a while. I had bought my Vagabondage which scratched two itches at once; non round case an...
Yes, the OG Freak would have a similar satisfaction.
You know I almost pulled the trigger on one several months ago. Great condition, good price, but the dealer who had it was not interested in a partial trade and so that was a dealbreaker for me. Some day.
There is something special about these URs .
Always love them although their latest few releases didn’t grab me as much as the older versions.
I agree.
The UR 100, 10, 150 and even the 120 haven’t resonated with me. That said, I did like the 101 and 102.
