Look Out! The URWERK Torpedo Watch Is Coming
Mention the name URWERK to the watch community and it's instantly recognizable for the cutting edge case design and unique time tracking system. Today, Felix Baumgartner and his company are accepted into the haute horlogerie community as brethren. But it wasn't always this way. Remember, it's the Swiss we're talking about. As a nation, they are conservative and traditional, with a skeptical wait-and-see attitude. You can just imagine the watchmakers' lips pursing and their noses turning up upon first laying eyes on URWERK's first creation, the UR-101. It actually looks a bit like a mini UFO a la "The Jetsons" with its rough-hewn stainless case and glass aperture.Although URWERK's success seems so obvious now, Felix reminded me over lunch a couple weeks ago in Los Angeles that it took 10 years for the company to gain respect.

Trip to the Omega AD
Well after the visit i made at the breitling AD i decided to go and have a look at the omega AD. Surpsingly the AD had the anniversary edition of the omega speedmaster moonwatch. The watch was at the window display in it's box. The box looked so huge compared to the box of the other speedmaster's. I asked him about the price of the moonwatch omega anniversary edition and he told me that the watch costs 7300 euro. I asked the guy why is it so expensive and he told me that omega has manufactured only 1957 watches and that's why it's so expensive. ( is this true? ) The box of the watch is amazing. It includes a loupe and some sizing equipment. It was one of the best looking watch boxes i ever saw. After that i asked the guy at the shop about the regular speedmasters and He told me that the rest of the speedmasters cost 3200 euro each. I also tried some of them. Until now my favourite omega watch is the omega seamaster Pro and the speedmaster.
