Catalogue Note
Accompanied by an Urwerk certificate, an instruction manual and presentation box.
Instantly recognizable both by their distinctive style and inherent complexity, Urwerk has managed to produce future-looking timepieces and each progressive model strives to push the boundaries of innovation and creativity even further.
Beginning from 1999, The Urwerk series is always the most sought-after by aficionados with its annual limited production, by dressing 10 pieces to celebrate the new collection of the year. With the success of the "Night Watch", the "Black Bird" and the "Black Shark", the successor "Hexagon" carries an under-stated sophistication with it's PE-CVD coated platinum case, reinforcing the masculinity with the angular satellites.
