Aggressive and venemous….the capstone for the 7th and final year of production for the Urwerk 103 collection…

Martin Frei says, “Our 103 collection is entering its seventh year. It has reached its maturity and fullness. It was Urwerk’s first masterpiece, one of audacity and challenge.  In my opinion, it is the one that symbolises to this day the perfect balance between elegance and technicity. A fragile balance, but one which we have succeeded in preserving. This emblematic model deserves an end commensurate with its life.”

What is a “Mexican Fireleg”, you ask?

    I must say (realy must) that I don’t like URWERK watches at all…..

    Realy :)

      LOL. You are not the only one! It is a love/hate brand!

      As for me, I did not like them at first, but what can I say they are growing on me.

    First time I saw the picture, I wondered what is it. As I take a closer look. Wow!! What a wonderful watch. I’m tarantula keeper, My opinion about this watch is “Great Design!!”.

    No wonder this watch inspired by Fireleg for sure.

    Thanks
