Urwerk ‘s latest timepiece is a truly out-of-this-world collector’s object that defies convention and perhaps even the very nature of timekeeping.
The brand’s new Urwerk UR-100V Lightspeed boasts a galactic-themed dial outfitted with a 3-D planetarium. Urwerk has certainly pulled off a feat that few watchmakers would dare to attempt.
While the timepiece boasts a more conventional 43mm diameter, it shows how long a ray from the sun takes to reach Earth along with the surface. It’s not the same display you saw in middle school.
It carries on the watchmaker’s focus on interstellar timepieces like the Space Black UR-120 or even its Star TrekThis new launch is a cool and precise homage to the modern lineage.
“The UR-100V takes us on a journey through both time and space, merging two concepts at the very core of URWERK,” the watchmaker said.
The actual timekeeping function of the watch runs on the lower half, displaying hours and minutes in the company’s trademark satellite, rotating display.
The rest of this futuristic dial is no less characteristic of Urwerk’s other next-level watches, with skeletonized construction and an open caseback that shows off its in-house UR 12.02 movement.
And if you’ve got about $74,300 to spare, then the latest masterpiece of time and space from Urwerk can be yours. Get ready for liftoff.
