URWERK PRESENTS THE UR-105 TTH “Tantalum Hull
THE #urwerk UR-105 TANTALUM HULL MARKS THE END OF THE 105 COLLECTION
Geneva - June 2021
“At #urwerk we took radical decisions very early on: deciding to remain independent at all costs and limiting our growth despite all the advice to the contrary were among the most important. To continue staying true to ourselves, to remain #urwerk, we make less than 150 pieces per year. This means that we reluctantly have to ‘kill’ a collection to bring a new creation to life. And time for the UR-105 CT is now running out,” explains #urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner. The new Tantalum Hull is the last edition of the UR-105 CT and ends the 105 collection in style.
PRESENTING THE UR-105 TTH
“Tantalum is a very special metal. Its name comes from Tantalus, one of Greek mythology’s bad boys. Tantalum is precious, rare, and extremely painful to machine and finish. We made an UR-110 out of tantalum a few years ago – a first that almost was the last. The team made me promise never to use it again because tantalum ‘eats’ our CNC machines’ bits. It destroys them, reducing their life by a factor of three. But I love its blue-gray luster. Pure magic!” co-founder Martin Frei discloses.
Fortunately, as so often with #urwerk, desire won over reason. The UR-105 TTH is a limited edition of just 12 pieces. “Tantalum is a precious metal weighing approximately the same as platinum. It has a solid presence on the wrist. To machine it is a nightmare, but it has incomparable beauty. Tantalum is one of the most URWERK-ian metals I know of. It is dark, almost anthracite colored, a shade which is an integral part of URWERK’s aesthetic signature,” confides Felix Baumgartner.
“The UR-105 TTH – “TTH” stands for Tantalum Hull – is a beautiful object, substantial and pleasing to hold. Its distinctive octagonal form features deep streaks along its entire length. It is angular, geometric, and symmetrical with strong influence from the Art Deco style.” concludes Felix Baumgartner
