UR-101 DIAMOND SKY
Some watches never leave the URWERK workshop even though they are neither lost items nor rejects. These one-of-a-kind creations exist for the sheer beauty of their existence, preserved from everything, sheltered from media hype and trend cycles. They are safeguarded at the very heart of the watchmaker's house, in the strongbox of memory. This is where the founding ideas are kept, the original timepieces, those that were not intended to please but simply to exist.
Among them is a singular, luminous watch that – long before contemporary horology took the liberty of writing mechanical poetry – slid time from left to right, from sunrise to sunset, on a 180-degree arc beneath a diamond-studded celestial vault. Today, URWERK is reviving this little-known icon through a series of 25 gemset timepieces bearing a self-explanatory name: Diamond Sky.
Issued in a 25-piece limited edition, the UR-101 Diamond Sky is intended for collectors who view a watch as an idea in motion rather than a static object. It reminds us that time is naturally staged, as is admirably illustrated in this watchmaking approach that does not follow existing constellations, but rather traces its own.
