Fratello On Air: URWERK Collective In The Studio (2021)

June 21, 2018

Over in article land, my good friend Dave Sergeant has written up the new release from URWERK and Collective today, so please feel free to check that out at your leisure for a detailed look at the watch itself and Dave s hot takes, and what is his favorite base model in the URWERK catalog.On the Podcast today, however, we re diving into the background of this project with Martin Frei of URWERK fame and co-founder of Collective, Asher Rapkin. Collective is a US-based group of watch lovers that works directly with brands to create thoughtful, imaginative, and emotive special edition pieces available to the members of the movement only.

If you ve not checked out that fascinating talk with an experienced submariner, do so. You won t regret it.The URWERK UR-100V P.02 for Collective will be available exclusively to new and existing Collective members. The model is limited to just 20 pieces. Those interested in joining Collective and acquiring the watch can visit Collective s website, where more information and membership applications, are available.
