URWERK will unveil the last edition of its iconic UR-210 on June 17, so now is the ideal time to highlight the seven features that have made the UR-210 so special

Retrograde system
The UR-210 has one of the largest retrograde systems available. "We wanted it to be oversized, to the limit of the possible. The UR-210 retrograde hand is a complex mechanism that docks with the hour satellites while indicating the minutes.

Winding efficiency
The UR-210 features an entirely new type of automatic winding efficiency indication that has been granted a patent. It indicates whether the user has generated enough power over the last two hours of use to keep the UR-210’s mainspring sufficiently wound. It is a very personal indication that changes with the wearer’s actions.

Turbines
It is thanks to the UR-210 that URWERK has been able to refine and perfect our turbine regulation automatic winding system.

The goal was to offer as much user control as possible by being able to select and refine the winding mode. "I started my career in the after-sales service of major watch brands and had to deal with recurring problems caused by the premature wear components, so we developed a system that minimized the problem. The turbines on the UR-210 are inspired by the regulators used in grande sonnerie movements." Felix Baumgartner
Aesthetics 1
"A protective band frames the complexly shaped sapphire crystal glass of the UR210 There is a certain amount of G-Shock in this design element. I like a three-dimensional topography of the case because it encourages both the eyes and hands to interact with it. The distinctive form empowers the case iconic character." Martin Frei

Aesthetics 2
The UR-210 is one of the most symmetrical pieces designed by URWERK. "All of our creations though have an organic character with irregularities and points of division.

The UR-210 is architectural or sculptural in its construction, which reflects my interest and connection with the architectural firm I share my office with. The extremely three-dimensional volume and crystal dome is pure URWERK, all while offering highly legible graphics and indications." Martin Frei
Recognition
"I had an early prototype of the UR-210 in my pocket during Baselworld 2012 and had not yet presented it to anyone, partly superstition but mainly because we wanted to finalize it before submitting it for review. Philippe Dufour visited our booth, and as a true watch lover he never misses the opportunity visit colleagues and is happy to give advice.

So Mr. Dufour was the first to see a working prototype of the UR-210
and, despite URWERK’s avant -gard style being the complete opposite of
his, he liked it! Mr. Dufour’s approval comforted us in our approach.
Since then, we have been fortunate to see the UR-210 on the wrist of
celebrities, including Ralph Lauren and Michael Jordan, But the emotion
of Mr. Dufour with our ‘UFO’ on his wrist remains one of my most
beautiful memories." Felix Baumgartner
