Urwerk was founded in Geneva in 1997 by watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and designer Martin Frei. The brand is known for its wandering-hour and satellite-hour displays, in which rotating hour numerals travel along a minute track, and for futuristic case designs in titanium and other technical materials.
Collections include the UR-100 and UR-102 series, the UR-200 family with models such as the UR-210, and the EMC (Electro-Mechanical Control) watches, which let the wearer monitor the movement's precision. Many references are produced in limited editions.
