The creative masterminds behind Urwerk, Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei, are not prisoners to watchmaking history. Since the inception of the brand in 1997, Urwerk has broken from the constraints in both classical watch shapes, designs, and complications. Now, Urwerk returns with its latest edition to the catalog, an all-new timepiece – the UR-150 Scorpion.
Here it wears 2N yellow gold across the case middle and the massive crown, set against a black PVD grade 5 titanium caseback. Limited to 25 pieces.
With a Hammerhead, Tarantula, Cobra in the catalog, Urwerk leverages the Scorpion for the design of its all-new wandering minute satellite complication. Doubling from the brand's usual 120 degree to a 240 degree arc, this is the most ambitious retrograde undertaken by Felix and Martin. Like a scorpion, the wandering minute and jumping hour mechanism move to an extreme arch and then snap lightning fast, in this case, back to XX:00.
All of this is powered by caliber UR-50.01, we observe further improvement to the brand's automatic winding system. Powered by dual turbines, both regulate the solid rotor's speed as well as a more robust movement against shock.
Martin Frei loves to juxtapose gentle curves with acute angles. Here, this timepiece features an arched profile with the case and sapphire crystal maintaining the same line originating from the curve of the bracelet. Another testament to the brand's growth, both in watchmaking and design, the UR-150 Scorpion is a killer timepiece.
