Urwerk
URWERK is an award-winning watch brand based in Geneva, Switzerland, known for its avant-garde designs and new indications and complications. URWERK was founded in 1995 by watchmaker brothers Felix and Thomas Baumgartner and artist Martin Frei (Thomas Baumgartner left in 2004). They presented their first timepiece with the Academy of Independent Watchmakers (AHCI) at Baselworld in 1997. The URWERK collection has grown to include several series of timepieces including the 110, the 103, the 200, the 1001 and LAB. The UR-110 was awarded the prize for ‘Best Design Watch〔2011Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve prize winners〕’ at the 2011 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. URWERK also created the Opus V for Harry Winston.〔Opus 5 by URWERK for Harry Winston♙〕 ==Name== The name URWERK is a play on the German word ‘Uhrwerk’, meaning ‘clockwork’. The ‘Ur’ in URWERK’s name refers to the ancient Sumerian city of Ur where over 6,000 years ago people used giant sundials to measure time; the ‘werk’ refers to the German noun ‘das Werk’ meaning ‘work’ or ‘creation’.
