The Urwerk UR-10 SpaceMeter Combines A Conventional Display With Unconventional Information
The Urwerk UR-10 SpaceMeter presents a unique blend of conventional design elements and unconventional functionalities. While it features a traditional dial with hands, it diverges from the norm by incorporating three subdials that measure the Earth's travel around the sun, offering a whimsical take on timekeeping. The watch is housed in a thin, sandblasted titanium case, measuring 45.4mm wide and 44mm high, equipped with a comfortable titanium bracelet. Its standout features include a turbine rotor that regulates winding speed and an innovative dual propeller system that enhances performance. Limited to just 25 pieces per dial color and priced at CHF 70,000, the SpaceMeter exemplifies Urwerk's commitment to niche watchmaking. It challenges conventional watch design by prioritizing curiosity and creativity over practicality, inviting wearers to embrace a more playful approach to horology. The watch ultimately embodies Urwerk's philosophy of exploring the boundaries of design and functionality in the world of high-end timepieces.
