Urwerk

History

Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei showed the first Urwerk watches at Baselworld in April 1997, with Thomas Baumgartner alongside them in the early years. Their signature is the satellite hour: discs that orbit and travel along a minutes arc instead of conventional hands. From 2007 the 200 series added air turbines and telescopic minute hands. The brand has won the GPHG Audacity Prize with its AMC system.
