URWERK

Founded in 1995 by watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and designer Martin Frei, URWERK is an independent Swiss manufacture redefining contemporary haute horlogerie. Rooted in a shared vision of reinterpreting time, the brand merges technical mastery with artistic expression, producing limited, highly innovative timepieces that challenge conventional watchmaking codes.

Display

URWERK is renowned for its satellite hour display, where orbiting hour modules traverse a minute scale, creating a dynamic and constantly evolving dial. This signature complication reflects the brand’s philosophy of presenting time in a new, intuitive way. From early models to advanced creations like the EMC and AMC, URWERK continuously explores unconventional mechanisms and groundbreaking engineering.

Craft

With workshops in Geneva and Zürich, URWERK produces its watches in small quantities, emphasizing in-house development, meticulous finishing, and cutting-edge design. Collections such as UR-Satellite and special project pieces embody its avant-garde identity, combining mechanical complexity with futuristic aesthetics. URWERK remains a pioneer in independent watchmaking, where innovation and creativity define every creation.
