Urwerk – more pièce unique excellence at auction
Read time: 2 min
With the auction of Urwerk’s UR-102 “TimeForArt,” the brand showcased its new UR-102 for the very first time. Now, only a few months after that auction, Felix and Martin are back with another exceptional pièce unique: the UR-105M Trinity. This timepiece is also headed to auction and is sure to find its home with an avid independent watchmaking collector.
This timepiece is a head-on collision between the beloved T-Rex Urwerk aesthetic and its namesake – the behemoth, T. Rex. Due to the upcoming auction of the TRX-293 skeleton, Urwerk was able to find a way to connect this timepiece with its design inspiration. “We created this unique Urwerk timepiece by respecting the characteristics of the TRX-293 TRINITY. Our timepiece has been worked to match the dinosaur, both in relief and color,” said Felix about the ribbed and scaly bronze case and oxidized bezel with an earthy and ageless look.
An estimated 65 million years stare back at the observer through a sapphire crystal inserted into the caseback of this unique Urwerk, where DNA from the TRX-293 TRINITY's skeleton has become an integral, ever-present part of the timepiece. “The imposing presence of the T. Rex meets and mingles with the fragile mechanical ticking of our T-Rex – the two echoing and complementing each other,” explains Martin.
Masters of creative watchmaking, this is another impressive show from the duo. Be sure to follow the auction results tomorrow, occurring at 10 AM ET.
