URWERK 201 Blackshark

[ via Kronosclub ]

Here is an URWERK 201 Blackshark that would be hard to mistake for any other watch brand.

Kronosclub:
Just like the 103 the 201 will have a Platinum PVD'ed version. This "thing" sends shivers down my spine. At this point I don't know if I am just biased or what ever the guys at URWERK come out with I just think is awesome. I wish there is a more "affordable" URWERK in the future. I told Felix many times that a 102 in PVD'ed steel and a price tag under 10K would be a real killer.

Unfortunately, Felix's idea is not to mass produce his watches (and I don't blame him). He believes that any manufacture that crosses the 500 pieces per year mark makes looses integrity. At these quantities it makes it impossible to properly control the quality of all the produced watches. To be honest, I think he is right. Many other manufacturers have crossed that line and things do change for the worse. This year URWERK will reach about 250 pieces (of the 103's and 201's altogether) and the 500 mark will not be reached for several years.

The first Blackbird created quiet a stir and despite its very high price tag it was in much higher demand than any other URWERK to date. Things will be no different with this one. There will be only 10 pieces and people are already lining up. This means that by the time it reaches the stores it will already be gone.

asking about the price for urwerk201 black shark

Wow, I must say that this watch really looks pretty cool. URWERK manufactures some extremely nice watches... and yes, I agree they can be a little expensive, but I feel their line of watches are very much worth the money. Look at the picture... need I say more! This watch is amazing!

Best Regards,
Garry Conn
