Urwerk And Collective Horology Release Limited-Edition UR-100V P.02 Watch
Just released is the Urwerk UR-100V P.02 in partnership with Horology Collective, as well as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York. This is the second release in private collector community Horology Collective's Portfolio series done with independent watchmakers (the first was last year's superb J.N Shapiro Infinity Series P.01 with meteorite dial), and I think it's an unintentional but fun coincidence that both have an outer space association. Goldsmith & Complications, the official retailer of the 20-piece limited edition UR-100V P.02, will be donating $50,000 of the proceeds to the Intrepid Museum, as well. Rapkin and Reilly loved Urwerk's UR-100 SpaceTime and imagined what the watch would look like if it were a specific tribute to the first space shuttle Enterprise (which is on display at the Intrepid Museum, naturally). The UR-100V P.02 has the Urwerk satellite time display with hours communicated via disc and minutes via rotating disc and red pointer right belo
Ball Engineer II Marvelight Watch Review
When it comes to the watches that Ball is creating, it is hard for me to not be attracted to the light shows that some of their designs pull together. It calls to mind the car my family got in the mid-80s (a Pontiac 6000 STE, for those curious) where my dad called the dashboard a rolling light show-which, for the time, it really was. Those can be fun, but sometimes you could do for dialing things down a little bit. In that case, I believe the Ball Engineer II Marvelight is an exercise in restraint.For starters, we have what could almost be considered a small case for Ball, with it coming in at a mere 40mm wide and just a tad over 13mm thick. This is presented in what I consider to be a very classic look, complete with a polished bezel and lugs, and a lack of crown protectors.
