URWERK UR-150 Golden Scorpion: Yellow Gold Takes Control

Geneva, September 2, 2026 — URWERK has unveiled a new interpretation of the UR-150 , and in this edition, yellow gold has taken control. Clad in the queen of precious metals — timeless by nature, yet entirely unexpected on such a technical creation — the UR-150 Golden Scorpion reveals another side of its character: less armor, more sculpture; more precious object than machine.

Since 1997, URWERK has been exploring new ways of reading and experiencing time — not through the circular language inherited from classical watchmaking, but through an orbital, mobile and intuitive progression. With the UR-150, this vision achieves a new degree of kinetic maturity. Three-hour satellites rotate on a central flying carousel, while a retrograde hand tracks the minutes across a 240-degree arc before snapping back to its starting point in one hundredth of a second.

“I never design a watch as a static object. I try to create a form that changes with the angle, the light and the movement of the wrist. On the Golden Scorpion, yellow gold behaves almost like an optical material. It reveals certain lines, makes others disappear and constantly renews the perception of the watch.”

In its Golden Scorpion guise, yellow gold introduces a particular tension into the architecture. The most traditional of precious metals is set against a radical construction: taut, ergonomic and shaped by sweeping curves interrupted by sharply defined breaks. Rather than anchoring the watch in the past, the gold amplifies its contemporary character — capturing, absorbing and intensifying light across the case’s surfaces in a way that reveals both the density of the form and the fluidity of its lines.

At the heart of the Golden Scorpion beats the automatic UR-50.01 calibre — 38 jewels, 4 Hz frequency, 43-hour power reserve. A cam-and-rack system coupled with a speed regulator more commonly associated with minute repeaters replaces the conventional Maltese cross mechanism, synchronizing the satellite progression with the lightning-fast retrograde return.

“

“What interests me in a watch is not only what it indicates, but what it provokes. A true creation must have presence, energy and almost a character of its own. That is exactly what the Golden Scorpion possesses.”
