Catalogue Essay Today, Urwerk is best known for its revolving satellite time display. The ingenious system made its debut on the Opus V - a collaboration between Urwerk and the storied American jeweler Harry Winston. The revolving satellite time display comprises of three cubes. Each cube has four faces, with one hour numeral on each face. As the watch is wound, the cubes rotate individually to show the hour. At the same time, a telescopic minute hand extends to point the minutes. Reference UR-202 is the most coveted of all Urwerk watches. Audacious and daring, its unusual case design has inspired the nickname "The Hammerhead". This watch is cased in black platinum and features a striped guilloché dial. It is only one of its kind, as confirmed by the guarantee, stating this watch is a Unique Piece. Furthermore, the color scheme is highly unusual and eye catching. The minutes are florescent green, while the hours are red. This watch features an automatic movement regulated by twin turbines, which is a defining feature of Urwerk's timepieces. Connected to the winding mechanism, the turbines can be adjusted through a lever on the case back. While the wearer is being inactive, the automatic movement can be "free", meaning that the turbines spin at full throttle. Meanwhile, during sporting activities, the lever can be switched to "stop", which stops the turbines altogether. Bold and conspicuous, it's not only a symbol of contemporary horology, but also an amalgamation of the brand's futuristic vision, combined with traditional watchmaking and romantic lore.
