UR-220

The URWERK UR-220 is the watch that replaced the UR-210 in 2020, and it is one of the most recognizable time-telling machines the Geneva independent has ever built. Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei launched it as the "Falcon Project," a name that fit the case: 43.8mm wide, 53.6mm long, 14.8mm thick, carved from carbon fiber or titanium and shaped like the fuselage of something built to move fast. There is no dial in the conventional sense. You read the time through URWERK's signature wandering-hours system, three rotating aluminum cubes carried on a satellite carousel, each cube dragging an oversized three-dimensional retrograde minute hand across a 0-to-60 scale before the hand snaps back to dock with the next hour in under a tenth of a second. Inside is the hand-wound Calibre UR-7.20 running at 4Hz with 48 hours of reserve, and on the caseback URWERK added something no other brand offers: an oil-change indicator, a rolling counter that tallies the accumulated running months of the movement so the owner knows when service is due. We are on 47th Street in New York, and pieces like the UR-220 do not walk in every week. When one does, collectors who understand what they are looking at move quickly. If you own a UR-220 in any configuration, carbon, titanium, SL Asimov, or the red gold Final Edition, we want to see it.
