URWERK UR-110 Bakelite, 10th Anniversary and Farewell Watch

Say goodbye to one of URWERK's greatest sellers



URWERK never skimps on daring, unusual, provocative and razor-sharp designs in terms of design as well as mechanics... The independent watch manufacture founded by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei is among the most creative companies and frequently quite crazy. One of these timepieces is probably bolder than the others. In a nutshell, it looks different from everything else on the market. Imagine the reaction whenever this watch UR-110 (yes, the Iron Man's watch) was released 10 years ago! Great it's time to say goodbye to this particular watch and for this, the actual duo has created the URWERK UR-110 Bakelite, a unique item that will be auctioned for charitable organisation.



The UR-110 was launched in 2011 and has because become one of the boldest, weirdest and most extravagant URWERKs (the combination of these words might sound a bit redundant, however in fact, this watch is actually special). In short, there is nothing conventional about this watch. The case… well, just look at it. The actual materials… solid wood bezel and also tweed strap, anyone? The particular display… why hands while there are satellites on the planetary gears. In short, there is nothing desired about this watch, which is why it really is such a cool (but challenging to understand) concept.



But after ten years of development, Baumgartner along with Frey decided to turn over a brand new leaf. Just like they did using the UR-210 Final Edition and also the UR-105 Tantalum, the UR-110 will also have a farewell version. But again, for such a unique watch, even the Final Version cannot be a classic limited release with a standard metal situation. And the way this view is made is not classic possibly.



We are speaking about a unique piece, but it is founded on a second-hand model which has been refurbished (of course) in addition to replaced with a brown Bakelite (also known as the first plastic material made of synthetic components) viser with a fibrous texture. Because Baumgartner explains, " Bakelite was one of the first high-tech components ever developed. It had a number of revolutionary properties. It was insulation and heat-resistant, and at time, it was found in everything from eyeglass frames to radios. " It also comes with the brand's latest strap, a Vulcarboné rubberized strap that fastens along with Velcro, just like the one within the UR-220.



Typically the URWERK UR-110 Bakelite or else retains all of the popular aspects of that model, namely a big 47mm x 51mm by 16mm case made from quality 5 titanium, with a sky-blue crystal that complements the particular watch's complex shape. Often the indications are typical URWERK style, with the signature satellite television complication, a rotating hour/minute module mounted on a planetary gear, and the right hands pointing to the arched moment track. The display also contains a " control panel" with a small seconds palm, a day/night indicator, as well as an oil change measure. Of course , all indications tend to be highlighted in neon eco-friendly. Inside the case is the foundation automatic movement with an in one facility module on top, the motion is wound by a unidirectional rotor regulated by a double turbine.
