Watch or Spaceship? The Urwerk UR-112 Aggregat.

Sci-fi fans rejoice - Urwerk has released its latest creation, which is a watch in name and function only, and truly a work of futuristic art in practice. The Urwerk Aggregat feels like something you’d probably expect on Iron Man’s wrist, but would also feel right at home on some alien planet.

As I stated earlier, the Urwerk Aggregat is a watch… but certainly not in any particularly traditional sense of the word. Let’s start with what this watch is.

The case is meticulously crafted in titanium and measures in at 51mm in length, with a 41mm width. The case is angled and sloped downwards in an almost space-craft shape. The 16mm thickness is… huge, but based on the leveraged shape, it seems to fit on the wrist pretty well - based on the press images. The case features T-shaped lugs and a is strapped with a textile strap to maintain the sporty nature of the watch. The watch is rated for 100 meters of water resistance - quite the feat considering the more haute-y offering from the brand.

The watch doesn’t feature a dial, at least not as you’d expect a dial to look. Instead, you have two cylinders at the top of the case that showcase the time via a series of rotating columns or “satellites”. The hours rotate incrementally by one, displaying the hours, while the minutes jump by increments of five. Both utilize an arrow pointer, which is particularly useful with the minutes display. This allows the minutes to also be tracked, even though they’re increments by 5’s on the display.

The case features two Hunter-style hinged windows on the top that feature the power reserve and second indicator. Equally impressive to the hour and minute is the ticking seconds indicator visible through a bright red window with a magnifier. This allows easy visibility for the seconds. Left, and under the second Hunter window is a fairly standard power reserve indicator - utilizing a needle and gauge to determine the juice that’s left.

Inside the case is the Urwerk Calibre UR-13.01. The watch beats at 28,800 VpH, features 66 Jewels, and has a power reserve of 48-hours. The power reserve is actually quite the achievement considering the technical complexity of the power required to run the watch.

Overall, I don’t know what else to say except that this is seriously a cool watch. In fact, it looks like something you’d find MasterChief driving around in Halo. The unconventional nature of the brand is already a fun inclusion in the watch industry, and the further futuristic aesthetic is just a cherry on top.
