Time has never looked like this. The URWERK UR-103 TiAlN is not simply a watch it is a defiance of convention, a radical reimagining of how we experience time. Designed to be read at a glance, its wandering hours sweep across a luminous arc, transforming every moment into a dynamic, ever-changing display.

Encased in titanium-aluminum nitride (TiAlN), this timepiece takes on a striking purple-brown metallic sheen, shifting subtly with the light—sometimes deep and moody, sometimes warm and reflective. This rare and highly technical coating not only enhances durability but gives the case an almost otherworldly glow, an effect that is as mesmerizing as it is mysterious.

Beneath the surface, the manually wound movement is the beating heart of this creation, hidden yet ever-present. The control panel on the caseback reveals a rare glimpse into the watch’s soul-featuring a power reserve indicator, chronometric fine-tuning screw, and 15-minute digital seconds display. The UR-103 TiAlN is an invitation to engage, to feel the rhythm of its mechanics, to become part of its journey.

On the wrist, the UR-103 TiAlN is a statement of individuality. It is not for those who seek the ordinary. It is for those who appreciate the poetry of motion, the elegance of engineering, and the quiet thrill of knowing they wear something that defies the rules. A rebel’s watch, redefined in color and form.

Felix Baumgartner, Master Watchmaker and co-founder of URWERK: “I discovered extremely sharp machining tools with a strange color. After research, I found out that the coating was applied to make the tool head harder than the material being machined—without needing oil. This inspired us to use the same technology for a watch case.”

Martin Frei – Chief Designer and co-founder of URWERK: "I have always dreamed of darker or even black-colored watches. The UR-103 TiAlN finally, and for the first time, got an exotic protection coating for its futuristic case."
