URWERK UR-100V MT Hunter Green

URWERK has consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, crafting timepieces that are as much art as they are instruments of time. The Urwerk UR-100V MT Hunter Green is a testament to this philosophy, a watch that embodies the brand's dedication to innovation, design, and the exploration of space and time. The UR-100V invites us on an intriguing journey through both time and space, blending two fundamental concepts at the heart of URWERK's ethos. Unlike traditional timepieces, the UR-100V SpaceTime showcases URWERK's iconic satellite display with a distinctive twist. As the minute pointers on the hour satellites conclude their journey, they transition between subsidiary dials, revealing fascinating astronomical indications. This innovative design transforms the watch into a celestial instrument, connecting the wearer to the vastness of the universe.

The UR-100V’s signature feature is its reinterpretation of the wandering hour satellites. This model boasts three arrow-tipped pointers that not only display the minutes but also unveil new astronomical indications. As these arrows pass beneath and between the subsidiary dials, they reveal the distance traveled on Earth in 20 minutes, as well as the distance traveled by Earth around the Sun in the same timeframe. This intricate dance of time and space is a visual spectacle, offering a unique perspective on our planet’s journey through the cosmos. The self-winding mass of the UR-100V is regulated by URWERK's latest generation of turbines, known as the Planetary Turbine Automatic System. This advanced mechanism ensures optimal performance and precision, reflecting the brand's commitment to technical excellence. The watch’s design and functionality are a harmonious blend of form and function, showcasing URWERK's mastery in both engineering and aesthetics.



The UR-100V Magic T now presents itself in an alluring "Hunter Green" version, a color that URWERK has ingeniously redefined. This shade is not a simple green, nor is it a conventional gray. Under different lighting, it transforms into a sophisticated, subtly metallic ash green. This unique hue exudes a discreet, almost British elegance, adding a layer of depth and character to the timepiece. The aesthetic is brought to life in the new UR-100V 'Hunter Green', a watch that redefines wrist-worn allure with its understated yet captivating presence. In this state-of-the-art, full-titanium variation, URWERK once again elevates the technical and visual minimalism that the 100 'Magic T' line is celebrated for. Every aspect of the watch, from the case to the bracelet, has been meticulously designed and crafted to capture the essence of both the color and the material. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and surface, making the UR-100V 'Hunter Green' a true masterpiece of horological art.

The UR-100V is often described as a blank canvas, providing endless possibilities for exploration and expression. Martin Frei, URWERK's artistic director and co-founder, highlights the joy of working with this collection, constantly rediscovering it through new expressions. For the Hunter Green edition, the choice of color was intuitive, a living, breathing hue that interacts dynamically with light and time. This organic, evolving shade adds a natural, almost living quality to the watch, making it a unique piece in any collection. Felix Baumgartner, master watchmaker and co-founder of URWERK, shares that the team approached the metallic ash green with the same dedication as one would an antique patina. The goal was to imbue the timepiece with an aura that is both industrial and organic, emphasizing the depth of the dial while retaining the mesmerizing magic of the titanium case and bracelet. Exploring the UR-100V 'Hunter Green' becomes a journey of discovery, a game of navigating through time and space. The watch’s design encourages a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting the wearer to engage with it on multiple levels.



The UR-100V 'Hunter Green' maintains the core essence of the 100 collection, striking a perfect balance between visual minimalism and cutting-edge watchmaking engineering. Martin Frei's tireless work with shapes creates a distinctive aesthetic language, while Felix Baumgartner reinvents the concept of satellite-type wandering hours. This watch eschews traditional hands, opting instead for a satellite that crosses a graduated arc to indicate the minutes. Once the 60 minutes are up, a new satellite bearing the next hour appears, creating a precise and poetic mechanical choreography that is both mesmerizing and functional. Inspired by a 17th-century clock, this watchmaking technology has been propelled into another dimension by URWERK. The UR-100V 'Hunter Green' serves as both a tribute to historical horology and a futuristic exploration of space, volume, and time. Its design pays homage to the past while boldly stepping into the future, making it a timeless piece that transcends eras. The UR-100V is more than just a time-telling device; it features two unique counters that add a cosmic dimension to the watch. The first counter displays the 555 kilometers covered by the Earth over 20 minutes as it rotates on its axis. The second counter shows the 35,740 kilometers traveled by the Earth in 20 minutes as it revolves around the Sun. These features transform the UR-100V 'Hunter Green' into a silent witness of the Earth's trajectory in the vast emptiness of space, offering a new exploration in URWERK's ongoing watchmaking saga.



Craftsmanship and innovation converge in the materials used for the UR-100V MT Hunter Green. The watch redefines titanium craftsmanship, with its case and bracelet sandblasted and shot-blasted to achieve a textured finish that oscillates between matte and polished. This creates a tactile and visual marvel, where each detail, from the chamfered screw heads to the luminous painted markers, exemplifies the artistry of fine watchmaking. The iconic wandering hours display, inspired by a 17th-century clock, combined with the precision of the Windfänger airscrew mechanism, makes this watch both a tribute to horological history and a leap into the future. The UR-100V MT Hunter Green is not just a watch; it is a cosmic companion that connects the wearer to the universe. The two unique counters displaying Earth’s rotational and orbital distances over 20 minutes are crafted from sand/shot-blasted titanium, creating a luminous and intense metallic grey, now combined with a time display in Hunter Green. Each glance at the watch offers a poetic exploration of time, space, motion, and color, making it a truly immersive experience.

Featuring a self-winding UR-12.02 movement, governed by a Windfänger airscrew to control the automatic winding rate, the Hunter Green is the ultimate watch for those who value innovation in watchmaking. This particular model is limited by the production of 30 pieces per year, making it a highly coveted item for collectors. The UR-100V MT Hunter Green represents the next chapter in the UR-100 MT series, evolving with a bold new identity. Its sand/shot-blasted titanium case and bracelet exude understated elegance, paired with URWERK’s signature wandering hours display in a new Ash-Green color. This unique shade blends industrial aesthetics with organic charm, embodying the very essence of URWERK’s artistic vision. Limited by production, this timepiece is a collector’s dream, offering the perfect harmony between minimalism and technical brilliance.



The case of the UR-100V MT Hunter Green measures 41mm in width, 49.7mm in length, and 14mm in height, making it a substantial yet comfortable presence on the wrist.

Founded in 1997 by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei, URWERK is a pioneering force in the world of horology, recognized as a forerunner of the new wave known as "nouvelle horlogerie." Producing only 150 watches annually, the company operates as a craftsman’s studio where traditional expertise intersects with avant-garde styling. Each URWERK model is an original work, designed and signed by chief designer Martin Frei, whose creative background allows him to transcend the traditional constraints of watchmaking. The name URWERK is derived from the ancient city of Ur, where the Sumerians first established units of time based on the shadows cast by their monuments. "Ur" in German also signifies primeval or original, and "Werk" means an achievement or mechanism. Thus, URWERK can be interpreted as an original movement, a tribute to the generations of watchmakers whose work has led to what we now know as haute horlogerie. This blend of historical reverence and futuristic vision defines URWERK's unique place in the world of luxury watches.
