Specialist note

With URWERK undated Certificate & International Guarantee.

Urwerk was founded in 1997 by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei who both shared the will of creating an independent vision of a timepiece and presented their first timepieces (UR-101 and UR-102) at Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, Baselworld in the same year. Urwerk, as a company, believes in allying creativity and efficiency in order to build watches, while following the highest standards of manufacturing.

The present reference UR-103.01 was introduced to the market in 2005, it was designed with the aim to enable drivers to read the dial of their timepiece with ease. Urwerk therefore constructed a forward-facing watch with three dimension cone-shaped satellites; this model also became a signature icon of contemporary timepiece design.
