Our Take

In 2019, we celebrated Urwerk’s launch of the UR-100— the brand’s smallest and slimmest watch to date— with a collector gathering in Boston. The model by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Martin Frei was an instant home run, and so are all the other iterations of the watch from the Blue Planet to the “C3PO.” With the release of the UR-100V C52, the brand is only continuing to build momentum.

Forged from carbon, the UR-100V C52 features an ultra-tech case made of High Resistance CTP Carbon. CTP is an extremely resilient carbon composed of 52 layers compressed in epoxy polymer resin. The use of this unusual material allows the case of the UR-100V C52 to tip the scales at a featherweight 11 grams including titanium back! Tying into the brand’s iconic space-age aesthetics, one will notice the luminova tipped hand on the satellite time indicator pokes through 10 and 2 o’clock to reveal time’s most intimate companion: distance. At both locations on the dial, this timepiece’s owner can see the distance the earth has traveled on its rotation (555km) and the distance the earth has revolved around the sun (35,740km). For the thinking human, this is a decidedly philosophical watch to reflect on our position in the cosmos.

As for wearability, it’s not often a topic of discussion with modern independent watches. Pushing the boundaries of design doesn’t always mean easy to wear. Yet with the UR-100V C52, this is the easiest to wear of any Urwerk timepiece without any doubt. As the brand’s most modestly sized timepiece, 14mm in thickness and 41mm wide, collectors with smaller wrists have a lot to celebrate. With all of the emblems of Urwerk’s innovative approach to horology and an amazing fit on the wrist, this timepiece is bound to become another classic in the brand’s work at the cutting edge of horology.
