Rapidly evolving the horological landscape, Urwerk transcends traditional watchmaking with its celestial-inspired, the UR-100V LightSpeed Ceramic watch. Known for their creative dexterity and mechanical innovation, Urwerk’s founders, Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner, continue to reimagine timekeeping through a cosmic lens. Their design philosophy doesn’t just measure hours and minutes; it aims to create a symbolic interface between humankind and the cosmic universe. This unique perspective was previously manifested in the UR-100 SpaceTime of 2019 and now evolves into the UR-100V, returning to Earth in a dazzling white ceramic composite case.
Audemars Piguet, the esteemed Swiss watch manufacturer, has breathed new life into time-tested designs with their recently announced Neo Frame Jumping Hour. This rectangular-shaped timepiece draws inspiration from the brand’s rich history, harkening back as far as the 1920s. The 24.6 mm by 34 mm case, set in 18K pink gold, brings an air of classic elegance, while the addition of angular lugs with flanking gadroons provide a distinct, contemporary edge.
