"The deadly Sting of the Blue Scorpion”
URWERK’s Killer New Blockbuster

Urwerk has never followed the rules and always played by its own. This time, it sharpens its edge with the launch of the UR-150 Blue Scorpion: a machine that stings as much as it dazzles.

At the heart of the UR-150, a mechanical drama unfolds on a hundredth-of-second scale as a flying carousel places the three pivoting hour satellites into orbit, while a tautly poised retrograde hand sweeps across a 240° arc on the dial at each change of hour. All this in a mechanical effort on the brink of chaos, yet perfectly controlled...

With the UR-150, Urwerk invents a genuine satellite complication, unveiling a fresh kinetic art.

A breathtaking mechnical show

Beneath a sapphire dome stretched like a bow, a mechanical creature comes to life: three hours’ satellites are mounted on a constantly rotating flying carousel.

The active satellite – that which indicates the current time – is highlighted by a retrograde hand that accompanies it from minute 0 to 60.

At the 60th minute, this retrograde hand performs a lightning-fast 240° return, while the three satellites each pivot on their axis and simultaneously rotate 270°.

This perfectly synchronized double sequence serves to accurately reposition the next active hour to the nearest hundredth of a second. Too fast for the eye, yet impossible to ignore: “All the cards in the hours game are shuffled and redealt in a hundredth of a second”, as Urwerk’s artistic director and co-founder Martin Frei explains. "The dial transforms before our eyes – so fast that it is barely perceptible to the naked eye. Just beneath the domed glass, the mechanism seems almost within reach – and the Scorpion's sting lurks silently. The satellites nonetheless pivot and regroup at each new hour, escaping our perception by their sheer speed. Each time, there is a brief moment of uncertainty, a slight unease, a silent tension that whispers: perhaps this time, the right number will not appear… And yet the magic happens, instilling a fresh sense of wonder.”

This perilous ballet is made possible by two synchronized systems: a cam and rack mechanism inspired by the world of automatons, coupled with a speed governor. Together, they manage power, balance forces and harness energy.

As master watchmaker and Urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner explains: “We have pushed mechanical complexity to its limits in pursuit of a single goal: clarity. Each satellite is tilted at 10° to face the wearer. While this complicates everything, the legibility of the time display deserve this level of precision”.

Mechanical alchemy 

The retrograde hand does not simply indicate the time — it literally frames the active hour satellite, from the 0 to 60-minute mark.

Once it reaches 60, the retrograde system kicks in, allowing the hand to pounce on the new hour satellite and “disarm” in a flash.

This articulated arm, a high-precision metal skeleton, is governed by a rack and cam performing three functions: defining its trajectory, synchronizing the jumps and multiplying the energy available to power the satellites’ rotation.

  Says Felix Baumgartner: “Here, the real complexity doesn’t lie in the number of components, rather in the precision of their interaction. Everything must work in perfect harmony: power, inertia, fluidity. We have designed every spring and every gear train to maximize energy efficiency.”

A bold aesthetic statement

Despite its striking name, the UR-150 Blue Scorpion is an object of elegance and contrast. Its lines are smooth, organic and continuous.

The sapphire crystal follows the shape of the case, which extends seamlessly into a supple rubber strap. The result is an ergonomic timepiece, sculpted for the wrist yet featuring a heart beating with restrained power.
