Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this first episode of our Who's Who of Watchmaking dedicated to brands, we come back on one of the most iconic independent watch brand, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. This brand is URWERK and you will get to know better its founder with Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei who will explain to us the birth of the brand, what motivated them then and still today.
All the respect for the great entrepreneurs. One of the best vision of the industry is found in Urwerk. Many thanks, Mark for this piece!
You are very welcome, thanks!
i know I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
Bravo MAD! Fantastic to Urwerk as the first non-group Who's Who of Watchmaking! That's the most talkative I've ever seen Felix!
Hahaha, I know, very proud of this achievement!!! Thanks for the comment
I love your videos! And your accent is charming while you deliver modern and American phrases: "You may need to be The Rock to wear it" and "Even though this video was long, it could have been longer!" LOL
I remember seeing Urwerk for the very first time almost 20 years ago in a watch s store in Miami Beach and I instantly feel in love and said the rose gold 103 is my favorite watch in the world, and that still holds true today!
What a cool story!!! Best to you
Terrific new series. Perhaps consider focusing the title: "Who's Who of INDEPENDENT watchmaking; standing alongside the more mainstream companies ( notice how I avoided the word brand!). My vote for next episode: Laurent Ferrier. Great job, M-AD. Viva The WatchesTv.
Thanks and I hear you ;) All the best
well thought out video and presentation, great to hear their philosophy and initial conception of the UR-101. excited to see their future developments!
Us too!!!! Thanks for the comment
That clock at 1.58 sec is beautifully constructed l love it. Urwerk make fascinating time pieces, at 11.55 sec is one of them. And the EMC speaks for it's self. l love watching the watch makers do their thing.
Thanks Marc 👏👏👏🕶👓
Great video.. looking forward for more.. !!
Love the long length new " Who's Who " series
About Urwerk... De Gustibus non est disputandum

With the quality that you present Mark you should have more than 124K subscription.
like the lengthy portraits. Great work :)
As a sw engineer this impresses the hell out me, superb mechanical engineering
17:55 The French and Swiss Parts in Germany? That is new to me as a German 😄
brilliant as usual
I love Urwerk! thanks for the video.
Thanks, I learned a lot. Good information.
Thank you!
Rotary engine in a watch?! Fab!
Great video of one of my all-time favourite independent haute horological makers!
However, I am saddened that one of the famous watches in the world was not featured or mentioned in this video: the Harry Winston Opus 5 by Felix Baumgartner of Urwerk, with Maximilian Büsser at the helm of Harry Winston Rare Timepieces as CEO at the time.
I believe this watch, alongside Ulysse Nardin's Genghis Khan/Classic Trilogy 889-70, Issey Miyake OvO (via Seiko Instruments; I own this watch though it is in poor condition), Tokyo Flash PIMP watches (original TF, not what it is now), and an old simple cheap Seiko Quartz watch for my 16th birthday, are the watches that set alight my fascination with haute horology in my later life.
I cannot afford any haute timepieces (best I can do is Xeric watches, which I love), but Opus 5 was definitely THE watch that inspired me to fall in love with Urwerk, later MB&F when it came to be, Credor, and Ressence. It also led me to this channel, my favourite of all watch YT channels :)
Otherwise, fantastic video as always :D
You are very right, but I have good news as we will indeed do a special on the Opus adventure and like your taste!
TheWATCHES.tv OMG Opus video incoming HELL YES!
Glad my notification is switched on for this channel; can't wait! 😉
And thanks dude; for me it's never about cost, but interesting and unusual watches, or ones that have character, like almost all of Fiona Krüger timepieces, and Manufacture Contemporaine du Temps (MCT), are more important. Cost is relative but should not be the barrier to say which is better or not. A timepiece can be beautiful at any price, but some are just enthralling. I look out for that magic.
The passion is in the little details, and the final execution.
Sure, some of the watches I mentioned are very cheap but so what they still instill great pleasure to me, which is the whole point, right?
Anyway, can't wait for more videos from you, especially Harry Winston's Rare Timepieces Opus project!
😄
Merci, très intéressant :-D
I just love Urwerk watches, but price is an issue... But I suppose that's part of the commitment
As you say ;)
Nice video,beautiful urwerk watches
nice vedio ,beoutifol new collections of urwerk
Urwerk is not to my taste but its fascinating to get inside the mind of the creators. :)
4:35 , best part we all know the master of complication :) hahah... Frank Muller with the ETA movement ...^^
I do like Urwerk's watches - they are interesting & different. My issue with them, though, is that I think their older models feel dated now, and the new one's will too in time.

I think the same, except for the emc, it has a rugged military look.
Intersting thoughts
i wonder how many do they sell with these watches
Approximately 150 pieces per year.
Evolutionary!
Good wording!!!!!!
Electro swing and modern Haute Horologie. Have I died and ascended?
Haha, stay with us please!!
I taught it was rather short
Ok, ok ;)
that background. what is that?
They have courage....I hope Urwerk will resist on the market in the coming years.
We all do !!!
This Video in German would be great. In general, German would be great. Many watchmakers can speak German ;)
❤️⌚️
It's easy to see this is the most obsessed guy
Why do they spell "Uhrwerk" wrong?
Because its cooool. And maybe they refer to the meaning of germ. Ur meaning original.
EMC is dope
Like your comment…. At least elaborate.
uhm that is not my werk.
Bist du ein schweizer?
Sicher!!!
I just got bored after 6 minutes,,Shame about the glasses,! 😂😂😂🤮🤮
