The Urwerk UR-112 Aggregat 'Back to Black' timepiece has been shown off as a darkly demure accessory designed with a luxury automobile in mind to offer drivers a new style for their wrist.
The timepiece is inspired by the Bugatti Atlantic and also takes after the driving watches from the 1970s that enabled drivers to check the time without having to shift their hands from the steering wheel. The watch thus features the numbers visible from the lower edge and boasts PVD-coated titanium for the case. The watch will reveal the power reserve meter along with the seconds by lifting a grooved case cover on the top.
The Urwerk UR-112 Aggregat 'Back to Black' timepiece is priced at CHF280,000 (around $305,572) and is limited to just 25 examples.
