The UR-100V will tell you stories of stars and distant constellations, of nascent beauty and magnificence, of lightning and transparent reflections. "The entire universe is made up of stellar particles, which makes their presence inevitable in all forms of matter around us. Whether in its original or transformed state, from carbon to cut diamonds, from iron minerals to steel alloys, this stardust It’s everywhere. “It’s crazy that we as humans are also made of this celestial material. The nickname ‘Stardust’ is therefore logically connected to the background of this UR-100V, but also to the high quality cheap watches itself and its future owner,” says Martin Frei, artistic director and co-founder of URWERK.
This UR-100V is set with 400 diamonds (VVS1, color D) totaling nearly 1.90 carats in pure carbon. The technique chosen here was that of snowfall: "We wanted an environment that was reminiscent of a starry sky, without anything uniform, more like an ordered chaos. For us, it was not the size of the stones that mattered, but their Arrangement, this almost random design,” said Felix Baumgartner, master watchmaker and co-founder of URWERK.
The case of the UR-100V Stardust is decorated with four hundred diamonds carefully selected from eight different shapes. Only the edges of the watch are exposed. Run your fingers over this diamond mosaic and you will find its structure soft, smooth and fluid to the touch. However, doing this setup was quite a challenge due to the nature of the steel used here. Steel is harder and less malleable than gold, requiring more intricate and detailed jewelry craftsmanship. Beneath the UR-100V Stardust’s crystal ball, the minute scale on the upper part of the railway-type track is set with 36 diamonds, while an additional 24 diamonds adorn the crown.

Beyond its aesthetics and wandering hour movement, the UR-100V Stardust is inherently spacey. Like all watches in the 100 series, it has two notches flanking the satellite carrier. The first is a kilometer counter, which represents the distance the Earth travels around its own axis in 20 minutes, or 555 kilometers. The second is another kilometer counter that shows the distance the Earth has traveled around the sun over the same period, which is 35,740 kilometers. In this way, the UR-100V Stardust witnesses Earth's journey through space, passing millions of suns and reflecting their light.
