“To offer a new perception of time is our constant inspiration!” Since 1997, this profession of faith has motivated the master watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and the designer Martin Frei, co-founders of Urwerk. A blend of contemporary art and cutting-edge technology, Urwerk timepieces are immediately recognizable. Hour satellites, a three-dimensional case and a meticulous design are the brand’s characteristics presented by the UR103T. Take this watch in your hand, carefully observe the centre and you will see a shape. Yes, the heart of the 103T has been inspired by the world of arachnids, with “T” standing for Tarantula!
