INDUSTRIAL CHIC

With its orbital wandering-hour complication, Urwerk's 100 series is a statement on the wrist like few others, but now the small Genevan manufacture has added a welcome minimalist edge to its otherwise OTT design with this new version clad completely in matte titanium. Within that sombre industrial exterior lies the amazing in-house skeletonised UR 12.02 movement, whose hour indicator cleverly serves as the pointer on a retrograde minutes scale (it's surprisingly logical and easy to read), but which also tracks Earth's journey in separate dimensions on two peripheral counters. Presented on an architectural integrated titanium bracelet, the 41 mm Urwerk UR-100V Magic T isn't a limited edition, but as only 50 pieces are made each year you can consider it as such. Rare as well as chic.
