Power-reserve indicator (122 hours), Day and night indication.It is readily clear then that the Opus V did not come from spontaneous generation, but is the result of long hours of reflection on time, its functions, and its display.By replacing the satellites by cubes, Félix Baumgartner and Martin Frei succeeded in giving a true spatial dimension to their watch. From four satellites, they went to three cubes whose four faces carry the different hour numbers. But the basic principle, involving the Maltese cross and ball bearings, posed new challenges. For example, not only do the cubes revolve in an orbital fashion, but they also rotate on themselves, revealing thus a new hour number. In addition, when the cube arrives at zero on the minute scale, it drags the large minute hand along the scale (before, the satellite, itself, indicated the hours by its own trajectory). One of the most difficult problems was to make the minute hand return instantaneously once it reached 60 so that it could accompany the new cube, thus the new hour. The solution is a spring, a spring that is very delicate to make (a wire with a thickness of 0.05 mm), which provides minimal but constant force. Autonomy One of the most remarkable aspects of this entire process is that Urwerk produces its watches completely in-house, in collaboration with a case manufacturer that provides its five-axis CNC machines for use by the brand, thus giving almost total autonomy. “We are of the new generation,” insists Baumgartner, “and we work with all of today’s existing possibilities. We are anchored in traditional timekeeping, of course, but also in modernity. This is also why we are a little different. Martin Frei, our designer, does not come from the world of watches, and so he doesn’t have the weight of timekeeping tradition on his shoulders. His approach is therefore more serene, freer. Moreover, I believe that watchmaking still makes sense on condition that it reinterprets the indication of time in a new manner. In five years, we are going to come out with new ideas in this domain. I have ideas notably on constant force, and I hope to be able one day to develop a movement whose principles will be entirely new.”Quite obviously, the Opus V project, conducted in concert with Harry Winston, has given new visibility to Urwerk. But even without this prestigious relationship, the progress of the young brand has been constant and it will continue to become even stronger. The name ‘Urwerk’ itself contains this promise. ‘Ur’ is the name of one of the first cities in the world, erected in what is today the nation of Irak. Wasn’t it in this region of the world where the notion of measuring time was actually inventediWhat remains is how to reinvent it.
