The UR-101 T-Rex from URWERK marks the latest addition to the T-Rex lineage, combining bold aesthetics with innovative craftsmanship.

Departing from tradition, the organic guilloché pattern spans the exposed case surface, creating a raw and primal connection with its wearer. Encased in bronze, this new timepiece features ing a textured, scaly armor that extends across its bezel, sides and lugs. The guilloché-engraved bronze is oxidized and brushed to create a rich, dynamic finish that deepens in tone over time without turning green.

Taking ergonomic cues from the Millennium Falcon, the UR-101 T-Rex balances form and function, curving to fit snugly on the wrist, while incorporating an asymmetrical case design for a unique visual tilt. The addition of a crown puller, reminiscent of the original UR-101, also enhances the watch’s user experience and originality.

Powered by the newly developed UR-1.01V caliber, the UR-101 T-Rex is a reinterpretation of URWERK’s technical legacy, featuring its signature wandering hours display. Co-founder Felix Baumgartner reflects on the challenges of creating the brand’s early satellite time displays, which set the foundation for their innovative movements.

Limited to 100 pieces only, the UR-101 T-Rex is available through URWERK with a price point of $45,000 USD.
