URWERK UR-111C IRON Limited Editon of 25 - The baby Cobra!

UR-111C IRON Limited Edition of 25 Pieces Overview The URWERK UR-111C Iron presents a different approach to time within the URWERK collection. Instead of orbiting satellites, time is displayed across a linear axis, using rotating cylinders and fibre optics to project hours and minutes through horizontal apertures. The URWERK UR-111C Iron focuses on clarity and mechanical reinterpretation, where the complexity sits beneath a restrained and highly legible display. Its presence is more industrial, more direct, with an emphasis on material rather than contrast. Case The case of the URWERK UR-111C Iron is crafted from steel, giving it a denser and more grounded feel on the wrist. Elongated in form, it sits low with a strong horizontal profile. The surface is defined by brushed and satin finishes, allowing light to move across the case rather than being absorbed. This creates a more tactile and exposed expression of the architecture compared to coated variants. Linear Time Display The URWERK UR-111C replaces the traditional dial with a linear display system. Hours and minutes are indicated through two horizontal apertures, driven by rotating cylinders. Fibre optic elements guide the light, ensuring legibility while maintaining a fully mechanical construction. This approach offers a direct and precise reading of time, while remaining consistent with URWERK’s philosophy of alternative display systems. Interaction There is no conventional crown on the URWERK UR-111C Iron. Instead, two integrated rollers are positioned along the case. One is dedicated to winding the movement, the other to setting the time. This system creates a more tactile interaction, changing how the watch is handled and engaged with on a daily basis. Movement The URWERK UR-111C Iron is powered by a manually wound URWERK calibre, developed specifically for the linear time display. The movement translates rotational energy into a horizontal indication, requiring a distinct mechanical architecture. The focus remains on precision, durability, and clarity of display. Design Intent The URWERK UR-111C Iron is defined by its material honesty. Without coating, the case reveals its construction through finish and form. The linear display, combined with the exposed metal surfaces, creates a watch that feels more mechanical, more immediate, and more closely tied to its engineering. Rarity and Condition The URWERK UR-111C Iron was produced in limited numbers as part of the UR-111C series. This example has undergone full inspection and regulation by URWERK watchmakers and is presented in excellent condition.
