Lot Essay

The result of three years of development and another two years of testing, the UR-103 is yet another incredible piece of engineering and haute horologie with its four orbiting and rotating satellites which display hours, with each satellite indicating the time in both analogue as well as digital fashion as it arcs across the minute chapter. On the caseback one will find the control board, inspired by vintage marine chronometers which placed less frequently used functions indications, in this case counting minutes, seconds and power reserve.
