URWERK has introduced the latest addition to its T-Rex collection, the UR-101 T-Rex, featuring a scaly, textured bronze case with intricate guilloché engraving. This bold timepiece blends innovative craftsmanship with a raw, organic aesthetic, creating a striking visual appeal.
A Distinctive Bronze Case with Evolving Patina
Encased in bronze, the UR-101 T-Rex showcases a rugged, scale-like pattern that extends across the bezel, sides, and lugs. The guilloché-engraved bronze undergoes oxidation and brushing, resulting in a deep, evolving patina over time—darkening with age while resisting a green patina. This process enhances the watch’s character, making each piece uniquely dynamic.
Ergonomic Design Inspired by Sci-Fi Icons
The watch draws ergonomic inspiration from the Millennium Falcon, featuring a curved form for a comfortable wrist fit. Its asymmetrical case design introduces a unique tilt, offering an unconventional yet visually striking perspective. A crown puller, reminiscent of the original UR-101, further enhances the watch’s functionality and originality.
Innovative Movement with a Wandering Hours Display
At the heart of the UR-101 T-Rex is the newly developed UR-1.01V caliber, carrying forward URWERK’s legacy of technical innovation. This movement powers the brand’s signature wandering hours display, a feature that has defined URWERK’s pioneering approach to timekeeping.
Reflecting on the brand’s history, co-founder Felix Baumgartner highlights the challenges of developing early satellite time displays, emphasizing their influence on URWERK’s modern movements.
Limited Edition Release
With only 100 pieces available, the UR-101 T-Rex is a rare collector’s item. Priced at $45,000 USD, the watch is available exclusively through URWERK.
