Hands-On With The Urwerk UR-110 PT (live photos and price)
The Urwerk UR-110 PT is the latest version of the UR-110. It has a brushed, platinum bezel, which gives the watch a more subdued aesthetic.
Having been made in black and also champagne coloured ZrN, the Urwerk UR-110 is now available in the most precious alloy, platinum. Screwed onto the front is a thick platinum plate, over the black coated titanium case back. Covered in a coarse grained brushed finish, the platinum plate has refined, polished bezels along the edges – a striking contrast and a testament to Urwerk’s skill in metal-working. The whole platinum bezel feels massive and solid.
Another notable detail is the different textures on the dial: concentric guilloche, brushed matte and frosted finishes.
The time is indicated by the now familiar satellite cubes patented by Urwerk. Another admirable piece of metal is the carriage carrying the satellite cubes, which is substantial and finished with a circular brushing.
This is a limited edition of 20 pieces, with a retail price of S$190,000 in Singapore, which includes 7% tax (about US$154,000). – SJX
