Urwerk UR-100V Magic T Watch
Urwerk is no stranger to titanium, but perhaps never has one of their timepieces honored the lightweight material like the UR-100V Magic T. Its 41.0 mm case is crafted from sanded, shot-blasted titanium, giving it a unique metallic grey sheen. The self-winding Urwerk 12.02 movement uses three pyramids to display the hours, which pass over a minute track in the lower part of the dial. After the hour hand passes over the minute track, it is hidden by a shield, with the next hour hand starting the sequence again at the start of another hour. The previous hand then reappears to show one of two astrological complications: the 555 kilometers the Earth rotates on its axis, while the third hand indicates the distance the Earth has traveled along its solar orbit, or 35,740 kilometers every 20 minutes. Water resistant to 30 meters, the case sits on a matching titanium bracelet with 32 sanded, shot-blasted links.
