What do we think of Urwerk?

[tom2517]

I have the 210.

I now prefer Indies over commercial brands like Patek, Rolex, or RM.

Very cool, I like the 210, I don't like all their models but some I really like, saw 2 IRL 1 month ago, don't remember which ones as there was also some RM and other interesting brands there but I must say that if I had the funds would love to have 1 in a 8-10 piece collection

Jordan has three Urwerk. This one is the 202 White Shark.

Ralph Lauren has two Urwerk.

"I get this same emotion when I put on a watch like one of my URWERKs. I got one a few years ago, and Ricky got me another one for our anniversary. I look at it during the day and it's so beautiful that it connects with my imagination and, just as importantly, I can feel the quality" says Ralph Lauren in the latest edition of Revolution Asia.

p.s. there are more clear photos of them wearing Urwerk at Getty's image.

I can see how brands like Urwerk and MB&F can attract the likes of professional athletes, Hollywood celebrities and other HNW individuals. The watches make a statement more than anything else.

Although I have tried on many Urwerks, I can't see myself wearing one. However after trying on the MB&F LM101 at their Geneva boutique, I thought it was a watch I could see myself wearing.

Yeah but LM101 is one of MBF's most boring watch, if you go independent, might as well go crazy style

Very true!! I should have said the LM101 is the most "wearable" MB&F watch for the rest of us, without going all out "crazy" :-)

They may be ingenious and impressive feats of engineering, but I think they're ugly monstrosities. Not for me, at all!
