New Urwerk UR-101 T-Rex Edition

zelin0802

With its bronze-hued carapace and raw presence, it is the essence of wandering time.

As the name suggests, the UR-101 and its sister model, the UR-102, are Urwerk’s first. This best watch was the foundation of Urwerk, defining a style and a way of displaying, and influencing nearly 30 years of endless creativity since. The first UR-101 and 102 featured a unique wandering hour display inspired by a clock made for the Pope by the Campani brothers in 1652. A few years ago, Urwerk relaunched the UR-102 concept with the Reloaded model. Now it’s time for the UR-101 to be resurrected… but this usually rather stylish high quality replica watches has undergone a metamorphosis to become the latest member of the bold, expressive T-Rex family.

Along with the 102, the Urwerk UR-101 is the one that started it all, and one of the founding watches of the new independent watchmaking world – Urwerk, De Bethune, MB&F, etc. The UR-101 has it all: a sci-fi, unprecedented design designed by Martin Frei to resemble either a satellite or the Millennium Falcon (pick your favorite inspiration), mechanically conceptualized by Felix Baumgartner, displaying a Campanis-based clock with wandering hours and minutes on the arches. The first UR-101 was launched in 1997 at the AHCI space at Baselworld, with an asymmetrical 38mm yellow gold case, with the top lugs hidden beneath the case, two traditional lugs on the bottom, and, at the time, a traditional crown at 3 o’clock.

With the UR-102 relaunched a few years ago, it’s time for the brand to resurrect the UR-101… but not just a one-to-one remake, but a revisited version, modernized, and now mostly part of the T-Rex collection – meaning a bronze case and guilloché texture reminiscent of angry dinosaur scales. Urwerk’s T-Rex concept has appeared twice in the past, with the UR-105 T-Rex in 2016 and the UR-100V T-Rex in 2021. replica HYT H1 watches

The UR-101 returns bolder and more expressive than ever, with a “bronze carapace, a raw presence, and a raw touch” in the words of the founder. But it’s not just about the T. Rex side. There’s more to this new version. The most striking element, of course, is the bronze hand-painted case covered in a textured skin, a layer of scaly armor covering its bezel, sides, and lugs. This guilloché is a technique usually reserved for dials, and here, when touched, brings out the raw essence of the watch. The engraved grooves start at the crown and run along the entire case at a low slope to the steeply curved slope leading to the caseback.

In fact, one of the main improvements of this Urwerk UR-101 replica is the repositioning of the crown to 3 o’clock, a feature of most replica luxury watches from the brand. Another improvement concerns the proportions, as the case has been slightly enlarged and is now 41 mm in diameter and 11.86 mm thick – but thanks to the larger curvature of the back and the shorter lugs, it should still be a fairly compact watch. The back is black PVD-coated steel and has a water-resistance rating of 30 meters. There is also a new pull system on the back for easier access to the crown.

Like its predecessor, the new UR-101 T-Rex Edition features the classic wandering hour complication with two satellites (each with 6 hour markers), a 180-degree minute display, and a solid snailed wheel that transmits the current hour on a minute track before the next hour appears on the left. Here it is discreetly displayed behind a domed sapphire crystal, complete with a black background and bright luminous numerals. swiss replica watches

Under the solid caseback is the new UR-1.01V movement, based on a modern Vaucher automatic movement with a classic timepiece on top, produced in-house. The watch is presented on a black rubber strap with a textile effect and black calfskin lining, secured with a black DLC-treated steel pin buckle.

Richard Mille RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough: Resistant to hammering!

zelin0802

This year, Richard Mille continues its collaboration with polo player Pablo Mac Donough with the RM 53-01 Pablo Mac Donough Tourbillon, which houses a foolproof horological mechanical movement in a black carbon TPT case. Pure Richard Mille for this masculine and ultra-sporty timepiece.

Richard Mille was a loyal friend. Its ambassadors are not just the men and women who wear their watches for photographs during a certain season. These are real, lasting collaborations. Rafael Nadal, Felipe Massa, Sebastien Ogier, Bubba Watson and Pablo Mack · Dono (Pablo Mac Donough) is not just an ambassador, before becoming the brand image of Richard Mille (Richard Mille), they are all relatives of Richard.

The last watch to emerge from these watchmaking and sporting friendships? RM 53-01 Pablo MacDonough Tourbillon. There is a long story between polo and watchmaking… It begins with Jaeger-LeCoultre and its famous Reverso watch, whose famous reversing case was designed at the time to protect the “glass within glass” “Save from the watches worn by athletes in competitions… the rest of the story will continue with Piaget and its famous Polo watch, and then Hublot and its Infinity Limited series.

Richard Mille has been Pablo Mac Donough’s partner since 2010. This man is literally one of the best polo players in the world. Back then, during their first collaboration, Richard Mille envisioned a copy men watch with a “caparison” case that would protect the watch during a polo match, which can be particularly violent!

This new watch from Richard Mille has been designed in the same spirit. Offers polo players the possibility to wear their watches during matches! But, as you can imagine, polo is one of the most demanding sports on a tourbillon movement (we advise all sane watch lovers not to wear their favorite watch during games). With or without swirls! ).

Sudden turns, violent swings, violent collisions between horse and rider: so much power goes well beyond the norm usually encountered in other sports. Polo, the “king of sports”, is a very elegant but also very physical game.

It’s not a miracle that one of polo’s greatest champions is able to wear a watch, and it’s a tourbillon, fully operational, it’s the product of years of research and research into the performance’s resistance in the face of violent conflict. As experts in the field, the brand designed the RM 53-01 around one goal: to make it extremely durable while exalting its performance.

“Polo is a dangerous game, with shocks and impacts. It’s a game of great grace but also very physical,” explains Richard Mille. Pablo has broken bones many times during his career. Considering this At one point, I asked our team to design a best fashion watch that could withstand the various shocks during a polo match, but the movement had to be visible”.

Realizing that standard crystal could not provide the necessary resistance against the blows of a mallet, the brand’s engineers collaborated with Stettler, a great specialist in the field of sapphire crystal, inspired by the practice of laminated glass for automotive production. The use of this crystal mirror composed of two sapphire crystal mirrors and polyethylene film is the first time in the watchmaking industry. By the way, same as RM…

In the face of the strong shock wave from the impact of the mallet, the glass will crack, but not crack. The glass is treated with UV protection and anti-reflection to protect it from the external environment and is an exclusive patent of Richard Mille.

The case is machined from carbon TPT with serrations of a reinforced structure, an armored case with an astonishing and almost unalterable resistance. Recognized for its excellent resistance to microfractures and microcracks, this material is increasingly used by RM.

Any enemy with whirlwind motion (beyond the gravitational effects it compensates for) is a shock. What is Richard Mille’s solution? Movement suspended by cables. The atypical architecture of the building required the development of two slabs. The first, called the peripheral, is attached to the frame and supports the tensioning mechanism. The second, called the central, is connected to the peripheral plate by cables and contains all the movement’s gear trains as well as the winding mechanism.

The central plate, like a spider in the middle of a spider’s web, rests on 2 braided steel cables with a diameter of 0.27mm. These cables (see photo below) are woven into a three-dimensional structure through 10 pulleys, connected to 4 tensioners. The watchmaker himself puts the cables in tension by turning a splined screw in the center of each tensioner. Richard Mille copy

By ensuring its constant tension, “this pulley system guarantees a perfect balance of the whole. The grade 5 titanium used in the suspended movement and its components (bridges and double bridges) increases rigidity while ensuring a very smooth running of the gear train and optimal shock absorption,” the brand said in its press release.
