replica URWERK UR-105 CT streamliner

During the SIHH 2018, ANGUS DAVIES took time to appreciate the URWERK UR-105 CT STREAMLINER, which is a modern timepiece with Art Deco style.

Several watches made by Urwerk are equipped with rotating satellites to display the current time. However, despite this commonality, each timepiece exhibits its own unique appearance. The new Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner perfectly interprets this point. This watch shares some DNA with its siblings while showing its own aesthetics.

In 1997, Martin Frei left his hometown of Switzerland and moved to New York. Another Swiss citizen Felix Baumgartner (Felix Baumgartner) chose to fly to the "Big Apple" and meet his friend Martin. The energetic duo will continue to build Urwerk, a niche watch brand that is now regarded as a model of watchmaking ingenuity.replica watches Review

It was during their time in New York that the couple became fascinated by Art Deco architecture and sparkling metalwork. About two decades later, Felix and Martin absorbed their fond memories of New York and chose to design a timepiece that blended bold geometric shapes, mirrored metalwork and the popular symmetrical lines of the Chrysler Building.

Interestingly, the name of Urwerk UR-105 CT includes the name "Streamliner". Streamliner Moderne is a late Art Deco architectural design that appeared in the 1930s. It contains curved forms, long horizontal lines, and occasionally nautical elements.

Holding the Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner in your hand, you can clearly see the style influence of this eye-catching timepiece.

The three satellites are located on top of the three beryllium bronze "Geneva Crosses", which in turn are located on a hollow aluminum turntable. Each satellite has four surfaces, and each surface displays a different hour. When the satellites rotate clockwise, they rotate in turn and display the current hour, as opposed to the minute orbit.cheap luxury watches

This type of monitor has been used before, for example on Urwerk UR-105 TA'Clockwork Orange'. However, the display effect of Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner is quite different. The hinged cover forms the upper surface of the watch. The lid can be opened by sliding the latch so that the movement underneath can be seen. When the lid is closed, it hides the movement, leaving only the current hour and minute. The result is that the display provides the essence of time and avoids insignificant things.

There is a power reserve indicator on the right side of the dial, and the red soup indicates that the energy of the movement is exhausted.

Located on the left side of the dial is a "digital seconds" display, displaying an integer of 10 seconds. I must admit that I did find this display a bit difficult to read.

case

The case is made of titanium and mirror polished steel. Urwerk does offer alternatives to titanium and PVD coated steel, but the shiny surface of the mirror-polished version better reflects the Art Deco theme.cheap Breitling watches

As mentioned earlier, an openable cover is decorated on the upper surface of the housing. For most of the time, this case is the focus of the watch. Its shiny surface with straight groove lines subtly replicates the above-mentioned decorative art forms.

Urwerk measures 39.5 mm x 53 mm, and the case thickness is 17.3 mm. On the surface, Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner sounds big, however, due to its close to rectangular footprint, it does not put an excessive burden on the wrist.

I had the privilege of wearing Urwerk UR-210 for several weeks before. Although this watch is larger than the Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner, it turns out that the UR-210 is very comfortable to wear. After a brief contact with the Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner, I can report that the smaller watch matches the ergonomics of the UR-210.

One of the reasons for the improved comfort of the wearer is related to the position of the crown at 12 o'clock. It will not scratch or hit the free movement of the wrist. In fact, its location seems very logical and should be adopted by more brands.replica Richard Mille Roberto Mancini

sports

The UR 5.03 movement is a self-winding movement, however, because it is an Urwerk timepiece, it is unique. The watch uses two turbines that can slow down the rotation speed of the rotor as needed. When the wearer is engaged in strenuous activities, the rotation of the rotor may be harmful to the movement. The lever on the back of the case allows the wearer to choose "FULL", "RED" and "STOP".

When the wearer is in an inactive state, "FULL" should be selected. This allows the automatic oscillating weight to rotate freely to provide power for the movement.

When the wearer is doing more physical activity, "RED" should be used. The turbine generates resistance, slows down the rotation of the pendulum, reduces potential wear and reduces the risk of damage.

Choose "Stop" when participating in particularly strenuous exercise. In this mode, the pendulum cannot rotate.

In addition to the avant-garde appearance of the movement, Urwerk has not given up on traditional craftsmanship. The round grain, sanded, brushed and chamfered screw heads all illustrate the brand’s impressive finish standards.jacob and co astronomia price

The frequency of the balance wheel is 28,800 VpH, and the movement contains 52 jewels.

Given that the movement must generate enough energy to propel the rotating satellite and other instructions, the 48-hour power reserve is impressive. One of the reasons why sports are so frugal has to do with the weight reduction measures the company has taken. The turntable mounted on the Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner is a new design, so it is lighter and stronger. The digital seconds display has "a mechanism created using a photolithography process, and each mark is hollowed out to make it as light as possible". Therefore it weighs less than one tenth of a gram.

There is always a sense of occasion when wearing Urwerk watches. Rotating satellites show off time in a series of styles. The company's series of watches are modern and look very different from any other watches on the market. In fact, Urwerk will never be accused of plagiarism.luxury replica watches

In my opinion, Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner is the best iteration of the UR-105 series. It is modern, but incorporates the influence of decorative arts. In addition, despite the seemingly different design genres, the aesthetic appearance of the model is cohesive.

Another aspect that I think is cute is the hinged lid. In addition to the strength of fashion, it reminds me of old hunter pocket watches of yesteryear. A key attribute of the cover is that it hides movement and frames the current time with a simple aperture. There is no interference part of the interference explanation, time is passed succinctly, but if the wearer chooses to check the carousel, Geneva cross, and satellite, they can slide the door latch and satisfy their curiosity.

Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner captures the vitality of New York and the Art Deco buildings that grace the city’s grid-like avenues. This watch also showcases the creativity and watchmaking expertise of Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner. Since their initial trip to New York, Urwerk has grown in size and is now 20 years old. During this period, the Swiss partner created many different watches, some with satellites and some without. This energetic duo showed incredible surprise ability. With this in mind, I look forward to discovering more avant-garde creations in the future, especially those influenced by the travels of these two talented individuals.cheap swiss watches
