Urwerk UR-CC1 Black Cobra Watch

The highly complex Urwerk UR-CC1 King Cobra watch will not be offered in a limited edition UR-CC1 Black Cobra model. Thankfully, there are plenty of snakes, arachnids, and other creepy crawlies sufficient for Urwerk to continue to have fun names for their unique timepieces. I first discussed the interesting qualities of the "linear time telling" King Cobra watch here. You can refer to that article for more on its function and technical information. I got to personally play with the large watch that was inspired by a car dashboard, and can say that it is truly a unique luxury machine (which can really be said about any Urwerk piece). Time is told on a few linear scales - styled like some retro speedometers. The lower scale is for the hours, then higher up you have the minutes, and at the top of the case is a seconds indicator. The hour and minute scales "jump" back to their starting positions when they reach the end of the line (according the Urwerk, that last little operation was a pain to develop). Actually, the watch as a whole took about three years to develop.

The new Black Cobra is in a black PVD coated case made from black AlTiN - a complex aluminum titanium alloy, better known as Aluminum Titane Nitride. 42mm wide on your wrist, the watch is almost 54mm tall. Inside the watch is a Urwerk made calibre UR-8.02 manually wound mechanical movement. The well over $100,000 Urwerk UR-CC1 Black Cobra watch will be limited to just 25 pieces.
