    No too mad about Urwerk's other models but really like the look of this one.

    Urwerk - UR-110

    The UR-110 indicates time by means of a revolving satellite complication on planetary gears featuring three parallel hour/minute modules resembling torpedoes. The time is displayed on the right side of the watch, with the satellites following a vertical line - 0 to 60 minutes - in a downward motion. The ingenuity of this layout lies in allowing the wearer to view the time discreetly and elegantly without the need to pull back a cuff.

    Enveloped in a secure titanium case, a central carousel provides the complication with stability and equilibrium, while planetary gearing keeps the three counter-balanced time modules in parallel formation. The dial side Control Board features small seconds; an "Oil Change" indicator to alert the user when it is time for a service; and a Day/Night indicator to help keep track of changing time zones. Visible on the back, twin air turbines minimize wear in the automatic winding system.

    If the video is to be believed it looks like it is the end result of two Borg ships crashing. :)

    Anyone care to explain how the air turbines minimise wear?

    The music in that video was cool. Yep looks like the two Borg cubes crashing, don't really see how that has shaped the final design!

    Don't know about the air turbines, must be driving some lubrication system inside in the watch. Couldn't really see how it works from the short breakdown in that video.
