URWERK isn’t just making watches—they’re crafting wearable sculptures, and the new UR-101 T-Rex is proof. A refined reissue of the original UR-101 from 1997, this timepiece is a study in contrasts: part prehistoric relic, part futuristic marvel. Its hand-guilloché bronze case, finished in a scale-like pattern, gives it a raw, almost primal feel. But beneath that textured exterior lies URWERK’s signature wandering-hour complication, a display that’s as mesmerizing as it is mechanically complex.
At 41mm wide and under 12mm thick, the UR-101 T-Rex is surprisingly ergonomic. The asymmetrical design tilts slightly for easy readability, a small but thoughtful detail showcasing URWERK’s commitment to form and function. Inside, the Caliber UR-1.01V movement powers two rotating satellite hour discs, delivering an experience that’s as much about motion as it is about telling time.
What makes this watch truly unique is its living bronze case. Over time, the metal develops a one-of-a-kind patina, meaning no two T-Rex watches will age the same way. It’s a timepiece that transforms with its owner, wearing the marks of every adventure. Limited to just 100 pieces and priced at $45,000, this is more than a watch—it’s a statement, a conversation starter, and a work of mechanical art.
