URWERK has revealed its latest exclusive full titanium timepiece called the URWERK UR-100V Magic T. The name of the timepiece comes from its titanium case, which is in a metallic gray hue and is capable of changing “mood and appearance over time,” as stated by URWERK’s artistic director and co-founder, Martin Frei.
The URWERK UR-100V Magic T has a running time of 48 hours, contains the UR 12.02 self-winding movement, and is governed by a Windfänger airscrew. The caliber holds 40 jewels and beats at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The timepiece is equipped with satellite hours and minutes with indicators for orbital distance and rotational distance at the Equator in 20 minutes. The timepiece comes in a full titanium case accompanied by an integrated titanium link bracelet. The URWERK UR-100V Magic T is available for purchase.
