New movement from URWERK A few months ago I posted a report on my visit to URWERK's new atelier in Genvea In that report there were a few interesting photos including . . .

:)

Look forward to finding out more but I have for now exhausted my capacity for speculation. And as Sherlock Holmes once said, to hypothesize in the absence of data is a shocking habit, injurious to the logical faculties ;) .

The type of indication has never been done before in a production wristwatch . . . though there was that one prototype 50 years ago. :S]]> IanS URWERK Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:26:07 -0600 http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?19,211,220#msg-220 Well that changes things, if that well isn't for satellites. . . http://revo-online.com/forums/main/read.php?19,211,220#msg-220
Ah. . . is this the entire movement complete, except for case and dial (assuming there is a conventional dial)?

And no satellites! Well, I'll really have to think about this one. . . 'tis a puzzlement!

Well, there's a circular well in front and I see what looks like the red plastic tip of a temporary crown perhaps, in between the thumb and forefinger. The interesting bit seems to be what looks like a series of geared rollers behind the well (which I assume is for the satellites.) I notice that it seems to terminate nearest the well for the time satellites in 3 distinct projections, and the position near the satellite well makes me hypothesize that this must be the display end of some new complication. 3 projections -day, date, month or some such; perhaps this is a novel calendar display?

What would be really cool is if this were the world's first roller driven perpetual calendar display. But I'd take a straight date too. Or I could be dead wrong. Or knowing Ian, and Urwerk, this could be a colossal red herring to hid the REAL secret project, like those fake prototype cars auto companies like to dress up and drive around test tracks when they know that photographers are lurking in the bushes :) .

Any thoughts?
