URWERK UR-100 SPACETIME

URWERK's UR-100 watches use the orbital satellite hour and minute hands to display time (hours and minutes) and space (travel distance). The independent Swiss luxury watch brand now combines these two concepts to create the new UR-100 SpaceTime.

The UR-100 SpaceTime features URWERK's iconic orbital hour satellite, but differs in one important respect. The UR-100 minute arrow passes between the lower and auxiliary dials instead of the red arrow on the satellite. The minute disappears after 60 minutes and reappears to show interesting new astronomical indications: distance on Earth and earth travel the distance.

The first indicator at 10 o'clock evaluates the distance we travel on the planet, not even leaving our desk! It is based on the average speed of the Earth's rotation on the equatorial axis, covering a distance of 555 km every 20 minutes.replica watches luxury

Opposite to 2 o'clock, the same hand (it looks like the same hand, but actually one of the three) continues to another celestial indication, characterized by the distance the Earth orbits the sun - one journey per trip It spans 35,740 kilometers in 20 minutes. The UR-100 presents three different time-space realities at the same time, providing a thought-provoking reminder of our voyage through time and space.

Powering the UR-100 SpaceTime is the automatic Calibre 12.01, with a base plate in the ARCAP and a power reserve of 48 hours. The self-winding rotor is regulated by the flat turbine Windfäng (Swiss Germany "Air Traps") to minimize impact on the rotor bearings and reduce excessive entanglement and wear. The rotor partially supported by the flat turbine on its periphery also has a larger diameter, resulting in less mass and thus reduced wear.Graham Chronofighter oversize 2OVGR.B16A replica

Internal testing of the flat turbine rotor adjustment system found that it provides significant index protection against excessive rotor speed (Windfänger rotates six times per revolution of the winding rotor).

The design and construction of the URWERK Calibre 12.01 requires extremely high precision, as the minute hand has a very tight tolerance between the three different dials and it passes through a dome sapphire crystal.

The shape of the case may remind URWERK enthusiasts of the aesthetics of the brand's early watches.

The URWERK UR-100 was inspired by a 19th-century pendulum - Felix Baumgartner from his father Geri, a now retired and famous clock restorer - produced by Gustave Sandoz for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.Porsche Design replica Watches

The regulator dial does not display time. Instead, it shows the distance the Earth rotates on the equator. The long pendulum beats once every 2.16 seconds, swinging one kilometer each time. The main dial has a scale of 10,000 km in units of 100 km, so each scale (half-oscillation) indicates that the Earth's surface (at the equator) travels 500 m.

The top sub-dial (10 km) is divided into 10 units, while the lower sub-dial shows a total of 40,000 km - approximately the Earth's equator circumference - divided into 1000 km increments.

URWERK introduces two entry versions: UR-100 iron (titanium and steel) and UR-100 black (titanium and black PVD steel), limited edition.Ulysse Nardin Freak replica
