Urwerk UR-105 " The Dark Knight" Hands-On Review
I've said this before, and I'll state it again, it's difficult to be an independent brand within the competitive luxury watch business. It's really tough. Especially when might built your reputation upon pioneering a unique approach to keeping time, purposefully setting yourself aside from your peers by trying to create something truly various.
This is the non-traditional path that URWERK co-founders Felix Baumgartner and Charlie Frei have chosen over a decade, doing whatever it takes to produce a timepiece that only a few on the planet will truly appreciate. But with great risk arrived great rewards, and regardless of the many challenges, the brand offers thrived, gradually becoming probably the most recognizable independent watch brand names in the world (in select groups, of course).
URWERK has come a long way during that time period and now has an impressive choice of timepieces from which connoisseurs can pick their favorite. Until recently, the rand name didn't have a solid " entry-level" product for those who may be new to the world of independent the making of watch and want to dip their feet in the water before buying the six-figure product.

The role used to be filled by the famous UR-103, arguably one of URWERK's the majority of beloved timepieces of all time, however it has remained vacant since the year 2010, when it decided to quit the gathering. Of course , there have been many other achievements since then, such as the launch from the wildly popular UR-110 collection, and the more recent EMC, however neither offered aspiring URWERK collectors anything that could even be distantly described as a starting point.
That all changed a few months ago, although with the introduction of the new UR-105, this particular " entry-level" watch dwarfs the tops of many others.

Depending on exactly how familiar you are with
URWERK's work, when you see the new UR-105 series, your first thought could be "
Well, it appears very similar to the original UR-103. Perhaps a little too
similar... " I must admit I have exactly the same thought. At first glance,
there are a number associated with familiar features that undoubtedly draw
comparisons to what might just be one of the most popular collections the brand
name has ever seen. Still if you look closely, you will find that this is a
brand new timepiece using its own little qualities waiting around to be
discovered.
Let's start with the case. Whenever officially revealing the UR-105 to the world, URWERK created extensive references to knights in battle in shining armor, and so on in their marketing materials, and even do a live shoot along with real armor. However , a possibility until you actually hold the view in your hand that you really value how it looks as well as feels like a tiny, very top quality shield. It may not protect a person in combat in the conventional sense by itself, but it certainly feels like it will protect the actual subtle movements inside through any outside attack.
What I really like, although, is the attention to detail inside the finishing. It's the type of situation you want to touch, with lots of fascinating angles your fingers will find, and there's a nice comparison between the case and viser. On the wrist it's very comfy, not to mention lightweight, and a lot slimmer than I expected, that is definitely a big plus. Nowadays, it seems like they're happy to bargain on thickness in order to make this timepiece fit the brand better, resulting in a watch that looks excellent in a case but can be very bulky on the wrist.
Thankfully, that's not the situation here, although the UR-105's switch (if you can call that a dial? ) continues to have a very three-dimensional feel because of the use of URWERK's trademark satellite television complication to indicate the time. Comparable in many respects to the original UR-103, the UR-105 uses a revolving disc and a fixed 60-minute scale to indicate the time within a clear and concise way. Unlike the UR-103, but this new model is more demure, focusing more on a specific period display rather than the complex system itself.

But don't believe that somehow makes it much less technically impressive. In fact , the contrary is true due to the inclusion of the circular PEEK (polyetheretherketone) cover on top of the satellite problem. While the opening enhances the present hour, making it easier to read time, this canopy must turn precisely with the movement to make sure accuracy is maintained, meaning it must be virtually weightless whilst still maintaining its strength integrity.
Within the back of the watch, you'll find URWERK's signature " control panel" that contains additional displays and also functions: an " essential oil change" indicator that notifications when service is required; any 42-hour power reserve indicator; in addition fine-tuning screws that permit Adjust the rate. But what I like is that the brand has skillfully added two extra home windows into the strap, one to screen the small seconds and the some other to let you quickly see how a lot power is left without having taking the watch off. They may just subtle touches, to be certain, but it just gives the UR-105 some extra features you don't generally find in " entry-level" watches.
The brand new UR-105 is available in two variations, the Iron Knight having a titanium case and a metal bezel, while the Dark Dark night also has a titanium circumstance but with an AlTin-treated iron bezel.
