Urwerk 201 Hammerhead Watch

Take the Urwerk 103 and the Opus V and mix them up with a little Felix Baumgartner magic and you have the latest from Urwerk, the 201 Hammerhead. This amazing watch features the classic Urwerk hour satellites but adds in telescoping minute hands that adjust their length as they follow the minutes and then retract. The watch has a five-day power reserve indicator and a day/night indicator. On the back of the watch there is an oil change indicator and the world's first horological odometer which keeps track of the total time of use for over a 100 years. I haven't heard any news on official prize but Gizmodo UK is saying it is around $50,000. True Urwerk junkies will appreciate this slow motion deluxe video tour and the pics here.
