The world of independent watchmaking is a colorful place with hundreds of brands all vying to create some of the most unique and wonderful watches the industry has seen. Natuarally, some brands have proven to be more successful than others, one such brand being Urwerk. Founded in 1997 by Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner, Urwerk’s mission has always been to create Haute Horlogerie timepieces that fuse their love of traditional watchmaking with a futuristic aesthetic that seems to have been lifted straight out of a sci-fi novel. With their distinctive case shapes and signature satellite hour markers, their timepieces have become some of horology’s most sought-after watches, one such being the model we have here, the UR-102 Reloaded. Inspired by the brand’s first ever watches, the UR-101 and UR-102, the UR-102 Reloaded features the same minimalistic case design but with sharp angular lugs that speak to the brand’s distinctly cutting-edge aesthetic. Boasting the watchmaker’s signature satellite hour marker that floats across the dial from 9 to 3 o’clock, the UR-102 Reloaded’s display is typical of the watchmaker’s timepieces. Additionally, boasting a completely blacked-out design through a PVD-coating, the UR-102 is a tremendously sleek watch that merges Urkwerk’s modernity with their heritage as one of the most impressive and pioneering independent watchmakers of the last several decades.

Limited to just 100 pieces and exuding Urwerk's now-iconic design language, the UR-102 Reloaded Black is a special piece within the brand's rich catalog that combines their current sense of modernity and their original design language in its purest sense.
