Good time for intermission.

Something a little different, Urwerk also makes a very similar wrist watch. More detailed specs (not here) show it's a pretty impressive time piece for the money.

Urwerk UR-1001



This example of Urwerk's "Zeit Device" pocket watch is a unique piece made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Bond Street retailer Marcus. Made of platinum, its sleek black looks come courtesy of an aluminium titanium nitride coating. Typically for the high-tech Swiss watchmaker, the UR-1001 houses a constellation of indications that include Urwerk's trademark three-pronged "hour satellites", a hand that tracks the minutes alongside each hour. You can also set the rear display to show periods of up to 1,000 years -- assuming someone is there to keep it wound up.
