When it comes to a new Urwerk model I can't wait.
Everytime the brand amazes me again and I really wonder what kind of watch
this new UR-1001 will be.

This is soooo AWESOME!
Okay...most of us will never see the first step...but i LOVE this feature!
:-)
Can't wait to see the whole thing!
When you will unveil it? Tomorrow (according to your last post and facebook) or in September?
Greetz!

It's the Power Reserve. That's why they called it Zeit Machine - Time Machine. But there is one more feuture there to be revealed... Actually two features including the 150 years counter, but that's not such a novelty for Urwerk
When first Ian said this summer Urwer will release new watch, he said it will be pocket watch. Well, it is. But there are two nothes on the sides which suggests it might be also a dockable desk watch too. Hmmm...
That's a calendar! It has a second carosel with the 12 months (yes, the months are also 12 just like the hours) and a second "banana" with 31 devisions for the days. Wow!! Great work Urwerk! You are geniuses!
And Ian, I know you wont wish to believe me, but I've thought that the years counter most probably is expanded further then the 150 years, just I had no evidences.
Wow, guys, it's so excited that new horological beast! Urwerk 1001 The Beast Machine!
I guess we're thinking more or less the same, Mark...
An UR-200 model as pocket watch (with chain?), crown at the "usual" 12 o'clock position. I think the 1000 scale indicates the hours of power reserve.
So now it's waiting for the final pictures... and unfortunately we have to wait another 3 weeks...
...i still stick to Ians first post where he said it will be a Horological Odometer up to 1000 years!

But that´s only me...in a few hours we´ll know it!
