Over the last 6 months, we’ve had the pleasure of handling more than a few Urwerk UR-105 timepieces. We recently spoke with Martin about the significance of the timepiece in the evolution of Urwerk. It seems like every time we speak with the co-founders of the avant garde indie brand we get the opportunity to dive well beneath the surface of their ideas, designs, and pursuits with Urwerk. And here, no less.

We take a closer look at the manufacturing and assembly of the Bridge and Dome from Arnold & Son’s Globetrotter collection.

Though these major events are still a few months away, we fortunately don’t have to wait any longer to see the Only Watch 2021 releases. This past week, the altruistic watch event released their catalog of 55 unique timepieces set for auction on November 6. And there were some absolute stunners from the independents in this year’s edition.

As early pioneers in modern independent watchmaking, Urwerk's founders, Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner, have been working together for more than 25 years now. Together with their team, they have pushed the boundaries of horology with space-age aesthetics and unusual complications. So what about the partnership between these two creators gives Urwerk its heart and soul?
