URWERK UR-103.08 TiAlN
Overview
The URWERK UR-103.08 TiAlN presents one of the most distinctive executions of the UR-103 platform. Defined by its unconventional display and rare surface treatment, it reconsiders how time is both read and perceived.
The satellite indication remains immediate, yet constantly in motion. Time is not fixed, it progresses across the dial.
Case and Material
The case is treated with Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN), a coating developed for extreme industrial use.
Its properties include:
• High resistance to wear and abrasion
• Strong protection against oxidation
• Increased surface hardness
The visual result is equally distinctive. The surface shifts between deep purple and brown tones, changing with light and angle. The finish does not reflect uniformly, instead revealing colour gradually across its form.
Satellite Time Display
Time is displayed through URWERK’s signature wandering satellite complication.
Four hour satellites rotate across a 120 degree minute track, indicating the time as they pass. Each satellite transitions smoothly before continuing its orbit, creating a continuous mechanical flow.
The display remains both analogue and digital in its reading, combining clarity with motion.
Mechanical Core
Inside is a manual wind movement, providing a direct connection between the wearer and the watch.
The construction prioritises precision and control, with the display driven through a system of rotating satellites and central carousel.
Control Board
Turning the watch over reveals the URWERK control board, a defining feature of the UR-103.
It provides additional indications:
• Power reserve indicator
• 15 minute and seconds display for precise setting
• Fine tuning screw for rate adjustment
This interface allows the wearer to engage with the watch beyond simple timekeeping.
Design Intent
The UR-103.08 TiAlN is defined by contrast.
A familiar form, altered through material and colour. A technical surface that introduces depth without decoration. The result is a watch that feels both industrial and expressive.
