Using a one-of-kind movement, the UR-112 displays hours on the right side of the watch case and minutes on the left. Additional information can be viewed underneath the watch's spring-loaded shroud, which can be opened via the click of a button, revealing the unit's 48-hour power reserve and silicon seconds wheel. “From a single source of energy, we power all displays and mechanisms of this UR-112," said URWERK's co-founder, Felix Baumgartner, explaining how the unit's one-of-kind "planetary system" works. The UR-112 is being distributed as a total of just 25 units, making it an incredibly [rare collector's item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emc-sr71).
