News Urwerk strikes hard: A classic watch with the look of a horological UFO Urwerk takes bold steps forward in watchmaking with the UR-10 Spacemeter—an extraordinary timepiece that defies tradition, blending precision with celestial mechanics. Share Urwerk, a brand that continually pushes the boundaries of horology, hits again with a model that is as bold as it is revolutionary. Staying true to its DNA but ready to surprise, the UR-10 Spacemeter offers an unusual approach. A watch that seems like a classic evolution, yet hides far more than meets the eye. Behind its traditional appearance lies a complex universe of astronomical complications that take you on a journey through time and space. Brace yourself, this watch is unlike any other. Case that combines robustness and elegance The case of the UR-10 Spacemeter is a true work of art. Made from sandblasted titanium and sandblasted steel on the back, it follows the classic Urwerk lines with a familiar octagonal shape. Its generous size, with a width of 45.40 mm and a length of 44 mm, gives it a strong presence on the wrist. However, its thinness of only 7.13 mm (not including the crystals) offers surprising lightness and unmatched comfort.

The placement of the crown at 12 o’clock, a recurring feature in Urwerk designs, recalls the design of certain horological icons while adding a touch of originality. The sandblasted titanium bracelet complements the industrial look of the watch perfectly. Designed to be lightweight yet extremely durable, it is the ideal companion for a watch of this caliber. A dial that plays with classic codes At first glance, the dial of the UR-10 Spacemeter might seem familiar, with its central hands and round dial. This is where one of the greatest paradoxes of this watch lies. While Urwerk has always been synonymous with unconventional displays, with wandering hours and satellites, this time the hour hands move in a classic manner. The syringe hands, with their fine and clean forms, sweep the hours and minutes across a gray or black background, depending on the chosen edition.

This is not merely about knowing the time, but measuring it in its grandest sense—the sense of the universe. Every detail of the dial plays a precise role in interpreting both celestial and earthly movements. A movement that pushes the limits of horology The movement of the UR-10 Spacemeter is a true technical feat. Developed in collaboration with the Vaucher Manufacture, it features a dual-barrel automatic system, powered by an innovative architecture modified to include a complication developed internally by Urwerk . This movement integrates five new wheels, five axes, and several new jewels to reduce friction and improve the power reserve.

This innovative system uses two stacked turbines that rotate in opposite directions. This design creates an airflow between the two sets of blades, which slows their movement and thus preserves energy while reducing wear on the mechanism. This system is a true technological tour de force, allowing the watch to maintain accuracy while offering better power reserve management. Availability and price The Urwerk UR-10 Spacemeter is a limited edition watch. Only 25 pieces of each version (black or gray dial) will be produced, making it a true collector’s item. Watch enthusiasts lucky enough to acquire this unique model will need to shell out CHF 70,000 excluding taxes. While the price is steep, it is justified by the technical innovation and exclusivity of the watch.
