# Car-Inspired One-Off Watches The Urwerk x Laurent Ferrier Arpal One Watch is Limited to One Unit By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-07-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-watch References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/article/urwerk-x-laurent-ferrier-arpal-one-watch/) & [urwerk](https://www.urwerk.com/en/collection-n-a-c16-p26.php) Created for November's Only Watch 2017 charity auction, the Urwerk x Laurent Ferrier Arpal One Watch is an extremely limited-edition timepiece that looks to merge design aesthetics for one lucky bidder. Merging the styling work of Ferrier with the technical expertise of Urwerk, the timepiece is powered by a UR5.03 self-winding movement that features a rotating hours display. This is all held within a case that's inspired by classic cars that has been crafted from Arpal+, which is an 18k gold alloy that's reported to be stronger than steel for the perfect finishing touch. The Urwerk x Laurent Ferrier Arpal One Watch features a hand-stitched, sand-colored leather strap and will be available for purchase from Christie's in Geneva to one lucky buyer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Limited-edition Luxury Watches:** The luxury watch industry can capitalize on the trend of limited-edition watches with unique and stylish designs that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. - **Collaboration in Luxury Watchmaking:** Luxury watch brands can collaborate with designers and technical experts to bring together unique and innovative features, creating new product lines and inspiring new designs. - **Innovative Timepiece Technology:** Advancements in technology and engineering can disrupt the traditional watchmaking industry, leading to the creation of new timepieces with unique functions and features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watch Industry:** The luxury watch industry can benefit from the trend of limited-edition watches with unique and stylish designs that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. - **Product Design Industry:** Product designers can partner with luxury watch brands to create innovative, limited-edition timepieces with unique features and designs. - **Engineering Industry:** Advancements in engineering can change the landscape of the watchmaking industry, leading to the creation of new timepieces with innovative functionalities and materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Italian Automotive Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopard-x-zagato-lab-one.md) - [Precision Time Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulysse-nardin-x-urwerk.md) - [Collaborative Limited-Edition Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emc-sr71.md) - [Avant Garde Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urfreak.md) - [Sports Car-Branded Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martins-formula-one-team.md) - [Rare Material Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneofakind-timepiece.md) - [Fiberglass-Infused Woven Ceramic Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur230-polaris.md) - [Luxury Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-tourbillon.md) - [Limited-Edition Artful Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herv-di-rosa.md)
