The latest URWERK creation reinterprets the UR-100V in an ultraviolet purple, in an exploration of the limits and pushing the boundaries of the perceivable.

The UR-100V UltraViolet brings one’s journey through space into sharp focus. Once the minute hand completes its 60-minute journey, it reappears on a 20-minute scale of 555 kilometers – the distance one travels in 20 minutes when standing on Earth’s equator. The opposite scale tracks the journey through space around the sun in the same amount of time – 35,740km.

The inspiration for these displays come from a clock from Geri Baumgartner, Felix’s father and a noted restorer of antique clocks. The Gustave Sandoz clock, made for the 1893 Universal Exhibition, shows the distance travelled by a point on the equator instead of the time.
