Urwerk UR103T Watch, The Tarantula

A mesmerizing time machine with obvious arachnid influences, the new Urwerk UR103T watch could easily become a much coveted collectors item. Known as the “Tarantula”, it’s a peerless timepiece that breaks away from every possible convention. Finely crafted using mostly steel, high grad titanium and some aluminum alloys, it features hour satellites to tell the time, a large curved sapphire crystal in a shield-like coated cocoon, and a unique calibre 3.03 manually-wound movement. And for those that are not afraid of 8-legged animals, the Urwerk Tarantula adds a tapered alligator strap to the whole deal. How’s that for a bold statement? [via Luxuo]
