More futuristic, more technical and more unique than ever. The three hour “satellites” are mounted on planetary gearing arranged around a single central carousel that keeps them in parallel formation as they take turns to indicate the exact time as they pass the 60-minute track. In keeping with the other Urwerk watches, the UR-110 self-winding watch (nicknamed “Torpedo” by those who created it) took a full two years to develop for watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and his designer partner Martin Frei, who explains: “Our hour satellites make a full rotation around the dial, but it is a velvet revolution. Between rotation and counter-rotations, the effect is subtle and fluid. Something is happening on the dial that is not obvious at first glance. Everything looks normal, but is in fact anything but”. The discreet small seconds hand appears at 9 o’clock above the day/night display and the “oil change” indication on the famous control board created by Urwerk. As usual, only a few dozen clients will enjoy the privilege of wearing the future on their wrist.
