URWERK
URWERK
Founded in 1997
Established in 1997, URWERK is recognized as one of the forerunners of the new wave called “Nouvelle Horlogerie”.
Producing just 150 watches a year, Urwerk sees itself as a craftsman’s studio where traditional expertise co-exists with avant-garde styling.
United by their common passion for measuring and portraying time, Felix Baumgartner (co-founder and master watchmaker) and Martin Frei (co-founder and chief designer) founded URWERK in 1997 and presented their first timepiece with the AHCI at Baselworld the same year.
