Urwerk’s latest creation promises to evolve with its owner as its bronze cover acquires a unique patina over time, learns Jamie Tan
Urwerk has unveiled the ur-105 ct Maverick, its latest version of the shield-shaped ur-105 that debuted in 2014. The new watch was presented at sihh in Geneva this January, and is ostensibly dedicated to the “people who think up world-changing ideas”, such as “mad artists and eccentric inventors”. To that end, its hinged top cover (a common feature for ct variants of the ur-105) is rendered in bronze – the idea is that movers and shakers will leave their unique imprints on their watches via patination, like how they’ve left their mark on the world.
