Urwerk’s Special Projects collection welcomes a new addition, the highly original Urwerk UR-111C, a watch that abandons Urwerk’s signature theme of wandering-hour indications in favor of a completely unconventional display.
With the new UR-111C, Urwerk aims to connect the wearer and his horological machine, to create a bond between a man and a mechanism. The watch becomes a part of its wearer, a tool that gives him information in return for energy.
With this interesting concept in mind, Urwerk designed a special roller that is integrated into the top of the case, above and parallel to the winding stem. Instead of using the conventional crown, the watch is wound by rolling the cylinder with a finger. Even though it looks simple, this innovation actually relies on miniature gearing, complex articulations and intermediate wheels to connect the controls to the winding stem. Setting the time is also performed in a similar manner - instead of pulling out a crown, the wearer can swing out a lever from the side of the case and turn the roller in either direction.
A descendent of the UR-CC1 Cobra watch, the UR-111C indicates minutes in two different ways, both linearly and digitally. The hours and two displays of the minutes are positioned along the side of the case, so the wearer can see them without turning the wrist. The watch face reveals two conical displays - the jumping digital hours on the left side, and running minutes on the right, framing the retrograde linear indication of the minutes.
The linear track of the display is even more interesting than that on the UR-CC1 King Cobra. Curved and angled, it inclines diagonally across its aperture, so the cylinder rotates 300 degrees around its axis to bring the helix to the 60th minute. The minutes jump back to zero after cylinder has completed its rotation.
On top of the watch, underneath a “magnifying crystal”, is the unusual digital seconds display that uses two tiny wheels - 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 on one wheel, and 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 on the other – each passing alternately across a circular window. The magnifying glass is actually a dense cluster of precisely aligned optical fibers, an image conduit, which makes the seconds numerals appear strangely close to the eye – a first in watchmaking!
Urwerk’s new UR-111C is available in two versions – polished or gunmetal steel. This generously proportioned watch measures 42mm in width, 46mm in length, and has a thickness of 15mm. The watch is powered by the high-frequency automatic movement (4Hz) equipped with 48 hours of power reserve. A sapphire case-back reveals its fine finishing including Geneva stripes, circular graining, and sanding.
The Urwerk UR-111C is produced in a limited run of 50 pieces, 25 per each version. The price is same for both of them - 130,000 CHF, tax excluded. - Urwerk.com.

Latest News from Urwerk
URWERK UR-100 SpaceTime
Uwerk introduces the UR-100 SpaceTime model, a new philosophical watch that displays both time in hours and minutes, and space in the distance traveled. The watch belongs to Urwerk’s orbital hour satellites family, and yet it differs from the rest of the range in one significant way. The red-arrow-tipped minute hour pointer now passes beneath and between subsidiary dials, reappearing to display new astronomical indications: distance traveled on Earth and distance travelled by Earth. The dial reveals two indicators. The first one, located at...
Urwerk UR-111C Black Cobra
Urwerk extends its UR-111C Collection with a brand new iteration – the UR-111C Black Cobra. The model, which was introduced back in 2018 in two case materials, matte gunmetal steel and a classic steel version, is a part of the Special Projects collection that departs from Urwerk’s signature series of wandering-hour complications. The UR-111C features two different displays of the minutes on the rollers, jumping digital hours, and optically transmitted skeletonized seconds. The new, SF-inspired timepiece takes its design cues from the UR-CC1...
Urwerk UR-210 Dubai
On the occasion of the Dubai Watch Week, hosted by luxury watch retailers Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Urwerk introduces a unique and exceptional timepiece expertly engraved by the incredibly talented Florian Güllert. The one-of-a-kind UR-210 is inspired by the city of Dubai or, more precisely, by Felix Baumgartner’s personal impressions of the city. The strong and often contradictory sensations, stirred by Dubai’s extravagant skyscrapers, highways, luxury cars, and the surrounding desert, have been translated into a unique new watch. In Baumgartner’...
Urwerk The UR-105 CT Streamliner

Since then the collection has grown to include a number of imaginative collections, crowned by some of the most prestigious prizes in haute horlogerie. To mark this special occasion, Urwerk has revealed an exclusive new timepiece, inspired by the city of New York, where Felix Baumgartner...
Urwerk and Laurent Ferrier Arpal One for Only Watch 2017
The house of Laurent Ferrier has joined its forces with Urwerk to create a unique piece of work to be sold at the Only Watch auction, benefitting the battle against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. For the first time ever, two watchmaking companies grounded on the opposite ends of the stylistic spectrum have come together to create one-of-a-kind timepiece that blends time-honored traditions with futuristic vision. The result of this intriguing partnership is the Arpal One timepiece, which comes in a curved, almost aerodynamic case made from an excl...

Urwerk UR-106 Black Pink Lotus
In its most recent iteration, the UR-106 model is a pink lotus with a dark side. It turns a shadowy carousel encased in a matte black case, and placed under a delicate arch of deep black diamonds. The new Black Pink lotus conveys Urwerk’s recognizable avant-garde spirit. The original indications and complications illustrate that same creativity and complexity that Urwerk has been known for for almost 20 years now. The UR-106 Black Pink Lotus is built around Urwerk‘s signature satellite hours indication, based on the wandering hours principle...
Urwerk UR-1o5 Clockwork Orange and UR-210 Clou de Paris
During the BaselWorld trade show, the famous watchmaking brand welcomed visitors in its Ramada hotel showroom, to unveil the brand new UR-210 Clou de Paris, and UR-105 Clockwork Orange timepieces. Both new creations represent a new take on Urwerk’s most coveted models. This time, the UR-210 and UR-105 have been subtly redesigned in terms of texture and color. While the UE-210 now brings your sense of touch into play, the UR-1o5 Clockwork Orange honors Anthony Burgess's iconic 1962 novel. Urwerk UR-210 Clou de Paris, which is made of titanium...

The latest version of the EMC – named the Pistol – is hand-decorated by Florian Güllert, who was in charge for the engravi...
Urwerk UR-106 Lotus exclusively made for women
Remaining faithful to Urwerk’s technically advanced, complex, and classy style, the UR-106 Lotus features the brand’s emblematic satellite hours complication. This time, the satellite system had been revised. It induces three satellites, each with four hour numerals that sweep along the minute scale in an analogue and digital indication of time. A moonphase indicator, with the lapis lazuli of the moon, completes the watchmakers’ vision. As master watchmaker Felix Baumgartner explained, the Urwerk team wanted to create something clean, which was...
