The 102 collection launched at Baselworld 1997 has not aged a bit. After a few adjustments to blend in with the times, the UR-102 "reloaded" is now presented in a boxed set containing its two versions: one in titanium, the other in signature URWERK black.

Above all, this model set itself apart by its clean-cut design and innovation: "Right the very beginning, we had the deep and intimate conviction that focusing on the wandering hour was our path”, says Martin Frei, artistic director and co-founder of URWERK. "In
my sketchbook, I started to draft a few designs. These served as a
basis for our work. We were more than just enthusiastic, we were
euphoric”, he recalls. "For this UR-102, our concept featured a
time indicator that looked like a celestial body. It picked up the vibe
of Sputnik, the first man-made artificial satellite. The satellite
trajectory of our hours pointer followed a semi-circle from minute 0
(ascension) to minute 30 (the firmament) and disappeared at minute 60
(descent). Like Sputnik, the 'body' of our UR-102 was made of a shiny
metal offering a mirror-like reflection of any bodies that might cross
its path."

The UR-102 “reloaded” has retained this reflective power and the key characteristics of the UR-102. Felix Baumgartner says: "The blue of the original UR-102 is a distinctive feature we wanted to keep. At the time we wanted our design to be colourful and were thinking of a flame-blued shade for our case. So we used a lovely bright, intense, anodised aluminium. If you observe our UR-102 "reloaded" in its titanium version, you will notice that the minutes track is the same blue. It is these scattered clues that make the pedigree of the UR-102 "reloaded" patently clear. The same goes for the crown of the UR-102 "reloaded".

"We redesigned and shifted the crown slightly. The migration of the crown led to a change in the opening for reading the time. No longer a perfect semi-circle, this ‘window’ is wider with sloping edges, giving it a fresher, more dynamic look", adds Martin Frei.
