Urwerk UR-105 CT Kryptonite Watch Review

Having drooled over their creations since the earliest days of my, ehm, watch enthusiasm, I think I reasonably expected to be never wanting to take the Urwerk UR-105 CT Kryptonite off my wrist - or, one upping that, even my eyes off it Yeah, it has Kryptonite in its name and it's still more bonkers than a good 99% of other luxury watches out there, but 25 years into designing drool-worthy pieces of extraterrestrial horology, Urwerk has, it seems to me, gotten to a point where it felt like it should make a watch for the matured collector of the brand and/or other crazy watches Doing so would mean missing the point of the Urwerk UR-105 CT Kryptonite; because it's precisely not supposed to be a flashy, in-your-face luxury watch.

Long story short, Urwerk needs no introduction to anyone - if for no other reason, then because their pieces tell you all the basics regarding their approach to luxury watch design It actually looks a lot more restrained than one would expect from a watch that has Urwerk and Kryptonite in its name - and, as I said, this is many times true in the real world when compared to how the watch appears in photography Given that the Urwerk UR-105 CT Kryptonite was designed to be discreet, I figure it was also designed to be worn a lot - and a watch that is to be worn, I think, shouldn't ideally have anything coated on it.

Quite frankly, it happened a number of times and I was shocked by the reactions that I encountered, which must have been sudden lapses in horological appreciation, where some watch loving people couldn't appreciate this watch for what it was. . Source
