Halloween Treat: Urwerk UR-150 Scorpion
I'm extremely excited to have just picked up one of the new UR-150s that recently debuted from Urwerk. More than 15 years ago a friend of mine sparked my interests in watch collecting, and one of the brands that really helped ignite that spark was Urwerk. However, at that point in time I certainly did not have the budget to buy an Urwerk and I also never encountered one in a shop or met anyone wearing one. Fortunately, several weeks ago an AD I shop at told me they were now going to carry Urwerk and invited me to attend an event where they will be showing a new model that had, at that point in time, not yet been unveiled.
A week or so after the invitation, the UR-150 was unveiled and I became quite excited to see it in person. The contoured case was an appealing update and the retrograde mechanism was also very interesting. At the event I was able to try it on the wrist and knew instantly this watch was made for me. A week later, I am very happy to be able to bring it home:
I really enjoy how the shape of the UR-150 follows the contours of the wrist.
The rotor system features a turbine system similar to many of Urwerk’s models.
Of course the lume layout is fantastic. (This is a grainy photo from my phone, but I did not use any special night mode or extended exposure settings - this is a good representation of what it looks like when the lume is charged.)
Some amazing pieces brought for display at the event, such as this UR-1001!
Honestly I was never interested in the Cobra based on internet photos, however in person I loved it.
The EMC is another piece that, in person, looks amazing but I was always unsure of from the photos. These designs really take advantage of all three dimensions and photos seem to fall short.

Congratulations! The watch looks beautiful on your wrist!!
It’s great to see pictures that are not from the press. The case design is really interesting and makes for a great fit
Thank you
I am very happy with how it fits. Even though it is not a thin watch, it fits well under my shirt and jacket coughs. The sapphire dome accounts for much of the thickness I think, and it avoids snagging on clothing pretty effortlessly.
Fantastic.
Like yourself, Urwerk has easily been in my top three independent makers now for at least the past 15 years. Your watch is outstanding, and I love seeing candid images of most of their other exceedingly adventurous and compelling creations! Much enjoyment...
Seeing them in person raised my opinion of them greatly
One of the downsides of innovative designs is that it can be hard to fully imagine how they would feel in person based on photos. Applying lessons learned from wearing typical watches doesn’t fully enlighten you to what these feel like on the wrist.
Huge congratulations 🎉 such a amazing and uber cool UR .
A watch thats not for everyone but i do love there watches a lot . And looking at your 150 on the wrist shows why 👌🏻🤗. The Cobra is my ultimate grail from the brand tbh . Like you said when you see that watch in person and on your wrist you immediately kn...
