Urwerk rides the sun with UR-100 Electrum
Geneva Watch Day 2021: Urwerk introduces a new variant of the extremely popular UR-100, this time in Electrum. This 25-piece version of the case is made of organic gold and palladium alloys and will definitely be favored by Urwerk collectors.
What is electronics? Gold and silver are one of the original precious materials, and were regarded as veritable treasures by the ancients. This kind of gold and silver alloy is indeed a dream of ancient Greeks, American Indian civilizations and ancient Egyptians. When the first batch of coins were cast with this metal, this noble, gorgeous, and luminous material was gradually forgotten...while waiting for a well-deserved new life. Urwerk reproduces the charm of this obscure material in UR-100 Electrum.
Inspired by cultural themes UR-100 Electrum is the new version of Urwerk 100 series. This 25-piece version has a case made of organic gold and palladium alloy. In addition to the sunny yellow, it also has a structured, wrinkled and undulating surface. This highly unique aesthetic is based on numerous aesthetic references from Urwerk co-founder Martin Frei. "The shell of the UR-100 Electrum is covered with grooves. Everyone can project their own universe into this design. I see the layers of the ancient Greek theater, the subtle folds of Iris van Herpen's dress, dug by the imprint of time An empty piece of unprocessed soil, the Seigaiha pattern of a traditional kimono...a journey of time and senses."fake Porsche Design watches
Satellite time and minute display In addition to the satellite-style hour and minute display, the UR-100 Electrum also provides a new piece of information. Once 60 minutes have passed, the minute hand disappears and reappears as a one-kilometer counter indicating that each inhabitant of 555 kilometers through the earth travels every 20 minutes. This actually corresponds to the average rotation speed of the earth calculated at the equator. The earth revolves around the sun-equivalent to 35,740 kilometers every 20 minutes-just the opposite. Therefore, on the UR-100 Electrum, hours and kilometers have the same status and have the same value scale. These devices light up as incandescent lamps within hours and as hot white within a few kilometers.replica skeleton watches
Urwerk’s master watchmaker and co-founder Felix Baumgartner said: “This creation was inspired by a gift from my father Geri Baumgartner, a famous restorer of antique clocks. This is Gustave Sandoz (Gustave Sandoz) A clock made for the 1893 World Exposition. Its distinguishing feature is that it does not count hours, but indicates the distance of the earth on the equator." Martin Frei, the designer and co-founder of Urwerk, worked hard to make this logo appear in UR- 100 on the dial. It anchors us to a precise time and longitude, and at the same time proves the fleeting nature of that location. "
Bounced under the UR-100 dome is Urwerk Calibre 12.01 with three satellite time displays. The satellite indicating the exact time moves from 0 to 60 along the minute orbit.High Quality Replica watches
