Top watchmaker and Urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner is proud to announce that Urwerk is attending Only Watch2011. To express its commitment to the Only Watch business, Urwerk will auction UR-103 Phoenix, a unique timepiece made of white gold and hand-decorated by the master engraver Jean-Vincent Huguenin , He is one of the most talented artists in the field.
On September 22, under the auspices of Prince HSH Albert II, Only Watch is a charity auction to help study Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in Monaco. Jean-Vincent was fascinated by legends around the world, and soon decided on the theme of this work. UR-103 is recognized by all people involved in saving children from muscular dystrophy, with a typical symbol of resistance and resilience: Phoenix rises from the flames.
Martin Frei, a watch artist and co-founder of Urwerk, said: “In our daily lives, we all have a few amulets.” “We like to let them stand beside us, far away. We Instead of giving them mysterious value, they were assigned a virtue, the “halo”. With this in mind, we designed this UR-103 as a veritable amulet-providing energy for future owners.”
Technical characteristics of UR-103 Phoenix
Dial face
When the orbiting hour satellite crosses the minute arc, it indicates the time on 103. The tilted hour satellite ensures that it does not turn your wrist even when driving, regardless of time, and the bold SuperLumiNova provides excellent visibility during the day and night. The rotating satellite complication is the soul of the 103 series. The orbital cross carries four hours of satellites, and the internal Geneva cross controls each satellite. The friction performance of these Geneva crosses is extremely low, but must be manufactured to very precise tolerances. Each satellite has a number of three hours. When the satellite approaches the crown, its Geneva cross engages with a pin that rotates the disk 120°, thereby positioning the new timing. High-tech grade 2 titanium alloys are widely used throughout satellite complications, including when building orbital crosses and Geneva crosses. The strength and portability provided by titanium reduces inertia and improves the synchronicity of the movement. The hour satellite is made of aluminum. The integrated lugs support the belt, ensuring that the sleek case fits comfortably in all wrist shapes and sizes. quality replica watch
