Urwerk UR-111C Iron

Urwerk UR-111C Black Cobra

The 2018 launch of Urwerk’s UR-111C generated quite a bit of buzz among the watch community. A dissident from the signature wandering hours complication, the UR-111C flaunted jumping hours, linear retrograde minutes, a novel roller crown, and optical fibre-augmented seconds all the while remaining faithful to Urwerk’s Sci-Fi design ethos. Making its debut in two

Urwerk UR-100 V Iron

Introduced last year, the UR-100 was a sort of back-to-basics for URWERK.
