# Ultra-Precise Watches The Urwerk EMC Takes Into Account Wrist Movement, Position and Acceleration By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-emc References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/urwerk-emc/33745/) & [urwerk](http://www.urwerk.com/en/press-emc-m14.php) The Urwerk EMIC (Electro Mechanical Control) watch uses [highly advanced electronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulysse-nardin-x-urwerk) to monitor the movement system's performance to within 10 microseconds. Timepieces worn on the wrist are often not ultra-accurate as movements, changes in wrist position, acceleration, temperature and pressure all contrive to impact the chronometer's working and alter its time reading. The Urwerk [EMC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emc-sr71) watch monitors the timing rate of the movement and tells you by how much it needs to be adjusted. This is made possible by the use of highly sophisticated technology and electronics. The watch is priced at $120,000 in North America. If you want one of these, you'll want to move fast because there will only be 55 units available for sale. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Advanced Electronics in Watches:** The advanced electronics used in the Urwerk EMC watch allow for precise monitoring and adjustment of the timepiece's performance. - **Monitoring and Adjusting Wrist Movement:** The Urwerk EMC watch takes into account wrist movement, position, and acceleration to ensure accurate timekeeping. - **Sophisticated Technology in Timepieces:** The Urwerk EMC watch showcases the use of highly sophisticated technology and electronics to achieve precision and accuracy. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Watch Industry:** The luxury watch industry can explore incorporating advanced electronics and sophisticated technology to create ultra-precise timepieces. - **Electronics Industry:** The electronics industry can develop and supply advanced electronic components specifically designed for precise monitoring and adjustment in watches. - **Tech Accessories Industry:** The tech accessories industry can tap into the demand for high-tech smartwatches that offer advanced functionalities such as wrist movement monitoring and adjustment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galaxy-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur-100v-lightspeed.md) - [Mesopotamian-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur100v-sumer.md) - [Collaborative Retrograde Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-timechanger.md) - [Robotically Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czapek-antarctique-rattrapante-rur.md) - [Fiberglass-Infused Woven Ceramic Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur230-polaris.md) - [Durable Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-luxury-watches-the-new-full-metal-gshock-models-are-rugged-but-eleg.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Mechanical Collector Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur230-black-star.md) - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md)
