URWERK UR-220 SL "ASIMOV" Sci-Fi Inspired
Only 15 UR-220 SL Asimov's were made.
The UR-220 Asimov marks one of the rarest evolutions in URWERK’s history, limited to only 15 examples worldwide, constrained not by desire but by production. Its case is crafted from CPT Carbon, a composite of 81 ultra-thin layers of carbon fibre, each aligned and pressed with surgical precision to create a feather-light yet extraordinarily resilient shell. The result: an organic texture that feels alive under light, as if the material itself were breathing.
Inside beats URWERK’s UR-7.20 calibre, the culmination of Felix Baumgartner’s mechanical mastery and Martin Frei’s visionary design language. The satellite hours glide across a luminous canvas, glowing with Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 BL, an advanced compound developed to maintain maximum brightness and endurance, like an alien artefact on the wrist.
The Asimov Inspiration
The name Asimov pays tribute to the legendary science-fiction author Isaac Asimov, whose works redefined our understanding of time, technology, and human potential. From The Foundation Trilogy to I,Robot and The Naked Sun, Asimov imagined futures governed by logic yet fuelled by emotion, worlds where precision met imagination. The UR-220 Asimov embodies that same duality: a mechanical creation built with mathematical rigour, yet animated by human creativity.
Asimov’s famous Three Laws of Robotics echo URWERK’s philosophy - order, function, and humanity must coexist. In the same spirit, this watch bridges the rational and the poetic: the precise calculation of its movement against the luminous poetry of its display. It is a wearable short story of science fiction turned reality.
