Description

This watch is also known as: UR-202S

Taking you back to 2011, and the original launch of the UR-202S AlTiN “Hammerhead” Full Metal Jacket.

Now you have the opportunity to acquire this crazy classic URWERK timepiece, The UR-202, aka "The Hammerhead", is reborn in this radical full metal body and bracelet. A rebirth only made possible through close collaboration between URWERK and the high-end bracelet manufacture, Maspoli.

Maspoli has been an integral part of the haute Horlogerie scene since 1951; their speciality, the metal bracelet. Mr Maspoli and Mr Moscatello run their business with the souls of artisans and when URWERK approached them to create just 50 high-quality bespoke bracelets, they jumped at the chance to do something very special.

Time on the UR-202 is displayed using telescopic minute hands operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hour satellites. These hands precisely adjust their length to follow the three vectors marking the minutes: 0 -14, 15 - 44, 45 - 60. Extended, they enable the UR-202S to display the time across a large easy-to-read, dial. Retracted, they allow for a very wearable and comfortably sized case.

The patented carousel is the critical component of the revolving satellite complication. It is responsible for both the rotation of the hour satellites and the integral telescopic minute hands. This rotating central hub is an extremely complex part to manufacture due to the extreme precision and tight tolerances required.

Felix Baumgartner - “The 202 model was a real watch of firsts for URWERK. It followed the after Opus 5 we create for Harry Winston, The 202 was the first URWRK to have our in-house created automatic turbine, the first to have telescopic hands, and the 202S was the first URWERK to come on a full metal bracelet. Nothing about the creation of this watch was easy and it tested our engineering like never before, but the result was worth it. The UR-202S was a terrific achievement for the team, and the AlTIN version with the matte black finish just symbolises the URWERK DNA perfectly."
