Phoenix Rising…
It is a visually stunning
watch from the very first glance, with white gold case that has been
hand-decorated by master engraver and artist Jean-Vincent Huguenin (he’s no stranger to Urwerk).
I think the “Phoenix Rising” motif is a great choice both for its fit
with the UR-103 case style and for the noble cause of the Only Watch
event (proceeds go toward research for the debilitating disease known as
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy). If you are not familiar with the Phoenix,
it is one of the great symbols of mythology representing rebirth, a
life that is never conquered by death, always rising from the ashes to
fly again (more Wikipedia, Google).
It’s a spectacular piece for a great cause. Nicely done, Urwerk!

Urwerk UR-103 “Phoenix”
Unique Piece
Says watch artist and URWERK co-founder Martin Frei:
In our daily lives we all have objects that are slightly talismanic. We love to have them at our side, in touching distance. Without giving them a mystical value, we assign them a virtue, an ‘aura’. With this in mind, we have designed the UR-103 as a veritable talisman – a source of energy for its future owner.
