URWERK King Cobra is Derived From 60s Speedometers
Andrew Robichaud — July 10, 2009 — Autos
URWERK’s new King Cobra watch does pack the poisonous bite. The King Cobra is a long time coming after a little over three years of research and development in order to achieve the design goal.
The URWERK King Cobra is a very complicated looking watch but rather easy to figure out after a good five minutes of looking at it. For all you hippies out there, the number indicators that make up the face of the watch are inspired by 1960s speedometers. (But you weren’t driving anyway, were you? Green Power!)
