The UR-106 ‘Only Watch’ by Urwerk is a fascin𓂃ating and unique timepiece, created for the Only Watch charity auction in 2015, with the aim of raising funds for research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This unique𝐆 watch showcases Urwerk's innovative approach to timekeeping while also reflecting the brand's commitment to social responsibility under the stewardship of founders Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei.
Unlike traditional watches, which use hands to display the time, the UR-106 utilizes a satellite hours indication system. Three arms, each bearing four satellite hours, pass over the minutes scale, providing both digital and analogue indications of the time. This design not only offers a unique way of reading time but also demonstrates Urwerk's expertis🐲e in unconventional timekeeping mechanisms.
The watch includes a moonphase complication, adding a celestial element to its design. The moonphase display tracks the lunar cycle, adding both visual interest and practical functionality to the timepiece. Beyond its technical 🌸and stylistic innovations, the UR-106 'Only Watch' represents Urwerk's dedication to making a positive impact. By participating in the Only Watch auction and donating this unique timepiece, Urwerk d🐠emonstrates its commitment to supporting essential research initiatives, such as those focused on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
