Independents

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.

…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!

Very cool. No writing at all on the dial. From my eye these look yellow gold...very warm wg example. Thanks for sharing.

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 🙏

This is the Vianney Halter GoldPfeil, the one I really wanted but never stepped up to the price.

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 👊

...but I have a huge pet peeve about power reserves where 'full' is at the bottom : (

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.

….a representation of the Goldpfeil arrow motif 🤔

Great watch!

…and not everyone’s cup of tea, for sure
