The UR-110PTH's platinum bezel is blackened. |
A watchmaker’s expertise can be detected not only through the mechanical
complexity of a timepiece, but also through its fine-finishing and the time-intensive
skills this entails. Perlage, satin-finish and sand-blasting are all
micro-signatures on the watchmaker’s art, the finishing touches that give the
timepiece its character and individual personality.
Urwerk now showcases its fine-finishing savoir-faire with the UR-110PTH, a
platinum-bezel limited edition.
Only 20 pieces will be made. |
“We always try to push ourselves to the maximum with our creations,”
explains Felix Baumgartner, Urwerk master watchmaker and co-founder. “Our
designs are in keeping with the old adage ‘A healthy body, a healthy mind’. If
a timepiece’s case has been finished with the right care and attention, then
that can only serve to enhance its ‘mind,’ the complex mechanics within. Satin-finish,
perlage and sand-blasting all provide the subtle touches that transform an
innovative, mechanical timepiece into a true piece of haute horlogerie.”
In the hands of Urwerk’s most experienced watchmakers the UR-110PTH was born.
It features a Grade 5 titanium case with a 950 platinum bezel that exhibits a strong
character and demonstrates the mastered art of fine finishing.
The UR-110PTH is a timepiece of contrast: red on black to be precise. With
its imposing, reinforced blackened bezel, sand-blasted for a stunning matte
finish, the UR-110PTH just oozes strong character. Urwerk were pioneers in
blackening platinum with the UR-103 Blackbird back in 2006. With the metal’s
natural sheen disguised, only the weight of the UR-110PTH betrays the presence
of the platinum.
