Urwerk is back with an electrifying innovation: the UR-150 Scorpion, a dramatic evolution of its iconic satellite hours complication.

URWERK has once again pushed the boundaries of watchmaking artistry with the unveiling of the UR-100V Stardust.

Known for pushing the boundaries of horological design, Urwerk just entered into a new dimension with the UR-120 Space Black.

A testament to the brand’s innovative approach to horology, the UR-102 “Reloaded” also embodies the orignial collection from Baselworld 1997.

From every aspect, the mechanical watch is an obsolete instrument, yet we continue to have a love affair with it. It is, therefore, a passion that drives the industry and that is also clear when you look at the creations of many of the exhibitors at de SIHH. Because of that passion, they went above and beyond to create movements, complications, finishes and decorations that were not possible before, or continue a tradition that is often almost forgotten.

In the luxury watch space, a brand’s long history is often touted as an advantage as it signals experience, longevity, and continued relevance. Some of the most recognized fine timepiece houses are well over a century old and some are even more than two. Yet, as old as watchmaking is, there’s always room for new companies with fresh ideas.

If you’ve heard of a wave of watchmakers who represent the nouvelle horlogerie, then you certainly know the Swiss company Urwerk.

Ladies watches have always played an important role in the Grand Prix D'Horlogerie de Geneve, or GPHG, and the upcoming edition is no exception.

How futuristic can a mechanical watch be? These four incredible, and unusual, watches will give you the answer to that question!

When it comes to ladies watches diamonds seem to be an almost mandatory ingredient, but why is this the case? And will this ever change?

A visual overview of a watch to which words can add very little: the UR-210 Amadeus by Urwerk. A piece unique created to celebrate the brands 20th anniversary.

The SIHH gives you the opportunity to see and handle some of the most amazing new watches. All those masterpieces available at a single venue is exhilarating yet also hard work, especially for Haute Time's photographer Alex Teuscher. Light conditions are always challenging at a fair, and there is a constant pressure to finish up in time make it to the next appointment. Simultaneously it is also important to respect the subject and photograph it in an environment that it suits. In the digital age, you can, fortunately, see very quickly if you are on point, and very little things are as gratifying as ending a long yet exciting day, seeing that the fruit of your work is actually looking pretty awesome!

By Martin Green Time flies when having fun! That certainly goes for Urwerk, who celebrates this year its 20th anniversary and does so with the UR-T8 which they launched at the SIHH. The brand has come a long way in those twenty years, creating watches like the UR-103, UR-1001 and the EMC Time-Hunter. A signature feature of many of them are of course the three cone shaped discs indicating both the hour as well as the minutes, brought together by a stroke of genius. Of course, this complication is also present in the UR-T8, because what would a 20th-anniversary piece be without it?

With Father’s Day around the corner, we went out on a limb to find some unusual timepieces just right for dad.
