URWERK UR-202 - a Watch from Beyond the Earth!

Lord of the Ants, a man who is able to find ANYTHING in the Internet, dropped me an innocent link to see a new watch. Knowing Mooses's utter interest to designer gadgets, he did not just drop a link to the newest Fashion Swatch, but a link to a freshly introduced masterpiece by Urwerk, their brand new UR-202 - code named "Hammerhead".

<--- A Very Nice Watch. Wonder if the strap is genuine leather?


Oh Boy, oh Boy, oh Boy! The system how the watch shows the time is so superiorly brilliant, it's inside workings - including air-turbine controlled self-winding mechanism is an absolute perfection and how it looks, makes Mooses piss honey! WOW!





Hammerhead is brand new little thingy, introduced in Geneva earlier this April. There´s nothing but superlatives in the internet about it and Mooses understands why. The Watch talks to people like Mooses - appreciating unusual, fine craftsmanship. Closest place to buy one would be a single jewellery store in Belgium, hmm? And they do not mention the price, odd?


After a brief internet search, Mooses finds a suggestive article - one lucky Jewellery Store in NY apparently got one and the person who was interested in the price, tells that the Rapturous Jeweller - being blessed by having one - is selling it for mere USD 183.000 (yes, onehundredeightythreethousand).


Mooses needs a very rich lover, and quickly!

The manufacturer is not planning to make the Hammerhead an Everyman´s Watch. The Luxury Watch market is expecting Urwerk to make around 15 (fifteen) watches this year, out of which only 5 (five) to US. We Europeans have therefore a better change to get one. Happy us all!

The UR-202 is available in red gold, white gold, black PE-CVD platinum and ALTiN steel. Nice, very nice indeed! Mooses likes the Red Gold version the best.

Mooses wears the first YES timekeeper. Priceless help in knowing the sunrise and the right time to milk the cows!

Mooses says: I´d be OK with the Black Platinum version of the Hammerhead, too. Thank you, My Opossums, Christmas is coming...
