Watch of the Month: Urwerk UR-202


The Urwerk UR-202 timepiece utilizes a world premiere winding system that employs the concept of fluid dynamics.  The Urwerk UR-202 harnesses this concept to control the rate of automatic winding. The back of the watch reveals the twin turbines which spin to generate compressed air. These turbines also act as shock absorbers. The Urwerk UR-202 watch incorporates the brand's patented revolving satellite hour complication with telescoping minute hands; a unique carousel mechanism with transporters and cams governs the precisely telescoping aspect of the minute hand. All of these features are included on the control board, placed on the back of the watch. Since it's the latest product coming out of the Urwerk laboratories, the U202 is not exactly very cheap, so you'll be able to find it somewhere in the 50,000 - 100,000 US dollars price range.
