Schwarz Etienne’s 1902 collection has evolved through a broad range of interpretations, including the Petite Seconde, Power Reserve and GMT models, all united by the Manufacture’s focus on in-house movement development and production in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The collection is a platform for trying out different functions and dial configurations while retaining its distinctive contemporary design…
First presented as the Scorpion in Titan and Dark executions, and subsequently followed by the Blue Scorpion, the UR-150 by Urwerk now receives its most precious treatment yet.
