UR-105 TA CLOCKWORK ORANGE Creators: Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei Engineers: Dominique Buser and Cyrano Devanthey CNC machine tool operators: Martin Schiess and Roland Hohl Assembly and technical finishing: Hervé Morard, Raphael Doddi and Vera Moita It takes a long time to develop a mechanical watch like the UR-105 TA — three years of research before even starting. But how long does it take to build such a mechanism? We can’t give you an exact figure, but we do know that to make and finish each of its parts needs hours of relentless work and concentration at the workbench.

Anthony Burgess The UR-105 TA embodies all the years of research invested into URWERK’s wandering hour satellites . The hidden carousel has been treated with ruthenium then bead blasted to a finish meeting the very highest standards of haute horlogerie. We invite you to share key moments in the creation of the UR-105 TA Clockwork Orange. - Fashioning and finishing: all the parts for the indications are made in our premises and decorated by hand. - Adjusting the hours carousel and watch assembly

“Creating the Clockwork Orange is like turning an organic entity, full of juice and sweetness, into a machine.”
