Urwerk, the same company that brought us the ridiculously cool UR-202 are back with a new watch appropriately titled “King Cobra.”
Inspired the obscure Patek Philippe Cobra prototype watch from 1958, the King Cobra accounts for time like a high performance sportscar barrels through a speedometer.
On the UR-CC1, there are two horizontal indications displayed by two cylinders: one for the (jumping) hours and a retrograde cylinder for the minutes. The seconds are displayed by a rotating disk on the dial.
The UR-CC1 is the result of more than three years of research, development, production and testing to ensure that the rotation and instant fly-back of the large hour and minute cylinders was achieved without compromising accurate timekeeping.
Like most watches of this calibre, expect quantities to be low and prices to be outrageous. [Urwerk via Watchismo and Watch Happening via Oh Gizmo]

Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 9:41 AMThese are far and away the coooooooolest watches that IU have ever seen. URWERKS. But at the 30k-278k that they cost I think I would consider buying a house in London where i could just look at Big BEN. over the top opulent. (I wonder if a guy wearing a 200k watch gives a buck to the homeless,). Shoot, if you are considering buying one of these
I got a better Idea, hire me, i’ll walk around with you and tell you the time for a year at half the price. CHECK THIS OUT http://www.urwerk.com/watches_202_themovie.asp
