URWERK UR-220 SL “Asimov” – LIGHTS IN THE NIGHTPRESENTING THE UR-220 SL “Asimov”Geneva – 30 June 2021.Night finally enfolds the city. It is at this precise moment that the UR-220 SLAsimov comes to luminous life. A UR-220 model whose hours satellites glow asthey gently emit the light stored up during the day. A fluorescence thataccompanies the counting of the hours and renders it visible. Likephosphorescent photons, moulded Super-LumiNova satellites enliven thebaseplate of the UR-220 SL Asimov, giving light to the night.Someone clawed at the torch, and it fell and snuffed out.In the instant, the awful splendor of the indifferent Stars leaped nearer to them.On the horizon outside the window, in the direction of Saro City, a crimson glowbegan growing, strengthening in brightness, that was not the glow of a sun.The long night had come again.—Isaac Asimov “Nightfall” (1941) 2021 URWERK - All Right Reserved

URWERK UR-220 SL “Asimov”THE UR-220 SL “Asimov”Stealth spaceship by day, luminescent installation by night, the UR-220 SLAsimov is the third variation of the 220 collection. Under the impetus of designerand URWERK co-founder Martin Frei, the model has undergone subtle changesin materials, colours, finishes and aesthetic characteristics. Against apredominantly black carbon backdrop, the UR-220 revisits a fascinating play oncontrasts and luminosity.The UR-220 SL Asimov indicates the time by means of luminous truncatedpyramid-type hour transporters. The cube shape featured in previous versions ofthe UR-220 resulted from meticulous work on URWERK's CNC machines. In thisiteration, these elements free of any sharp edges are cast from a silicon mouldand hand-adjusted to ensure their perfect finish. Their degree of hardness at theend of the process is close to that of ceramic. This technical expertise wasdeveloped by the Swiss company RC Tritec, which has 80 years of experience inthe field. 2021 URWERK - All Right Reserved

URWERK UR-220 SL “Asimov”This new display underlines the technical nature of the time reading.It remains based on URWERK’s patented wandering hour satellitecomplication. The wandering hours are displayed on three rotatingtruncated pyramid-shaped transporters. Each in turn is inserted intoa 3D minutes pointer which travels over the 120 degrees of theminute scale and at the end of the hour makes a big jump back tothe "0" marker to welcome the next transporter. This powerful andswift retrograde minutes display is undoubtedly the most impressiveever in a wristwatch, notably featuring a minutes pointer openworkedon all sides.The three hours transpor ters are therefore "made" of colour,specifically Swiss Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL. And it is at nightt h a t t h e t ra n s fo r m a t i o n ta ke s p l a c e, w h e n t h ey b e c o m ephosphorescent. There is no engraving here, as the satellites andhour-markers are one and the same. They are light catchers, activepigments whose function is to capture each light unit and then restorethem in the dark so as to achieve optimal nocturnal legibility.The dial also provides a power-reserve indication that can be readoff on two subdials. The autonomy of the movement is indicated bythese 24-hour gauges. During manual winding, the right-hand gaugeis the first to indicate the mainspring degree of wind and once it hasreached the maximum level, the left-hand indicator takes over. Splitbetween two ‘reservoirs’, the power-reserve display is composed of83 mechanical elements, testifying to the complexity of itsdevelopment. 2021 URWERK - All Right Reserved

URWERK UR-220 SL “Asimov”The back of the UR-220 SL Asimov features a digital Oil Change gaugeappearing on two adjacent rollers. The wearer of the watch triggers this device byremoving a protective pin and pressing a pusher to activate the counters that willdisplay the mechanism’s active running time in months. After 39 months – threeyears and three months – a service is recommended and once this is complete,the URWERK teams reset the counter and replace the pin.This UR-220 SL Asimov is a quintessential expression of URWERK-ian designconstruction in which interior and exterior are melded into a coherent whole. Theinner or outer shapes, finishes and colours may be merged, shifted or flipped ineither direction. The complex shape of the bezel, the slender, hollowed-out linesof the case middle, the strength of the crown at 12 o’clock, are all part of ahorological layout exclusive to URWERK. 2021 URWERK - All Right Reserved

URWERK UR-220 SL “Asimov”ABOUT URWERK“We don’t try to bring out new versions of existing grandes complications,”explains watchmaker Felix Baumgartner, co-founder of URWERK.“Our watches are unique because they are all designed as original works,which makes them rare and priceless. Our main aim is to go beyond thetraditional horizons of watchmaking.”The original styling of each URWERK model is signed by chief designerMartin Frei, the company’s other co-founder.“I come from a background where creativeness has no limits. I am in no wayprisoner of the traditional constraints of watchmaking, and I can therefore befreely inspired by my cultural heritage.”Although URWERK is a young company established in 1997, it is recognisedas a pioneer among independent watchmakers. Producing just 150 watches ayear, the company sees itself as a craftsman’s studio where traditionalexpertise coexists with avant-garde styling. The company manufacturesmodern and complex watches that are unprecedented and in keeping with themost demanding criteria of fine watchmaking: independent design andresearch, advanced materials and handcrafted finishes.The name URWERK comes from the ancient city of Ur of the Chaldees inMesopotamia, founded nearly 6,000 years ago where the Sumerianinhabitants first established units of time based on the shadows cast by itsmonuments. Ur in the German language also means primeval or original andWerk means an achievement or a mechanism. Thus, URWERK can betranslated as an original movement — a tribute to generations of watchmakerswhose work has resulted in what we know today as haute horlogerie, orsuperlative watchmaking. 2021 URWERK - All Right Reserved
