It is almost as if you are holding a small piece of art from the 18th century in your hand. Unsurprisingly, Güllert says this is one of his creations that he is most proud of. The entire engraving process took Güllert over 260 hours to complete. Güllert decided that the flowing patterns of acanthus leaves would suit the angular case of the UR-210 most and he has painstakingly designed the entire pattern so that the engravings would flow seamlessly from the case to the bracelet. To recreate the look and feel of this ancient clock in a UR-210 watch, Urwerk turned to noted craftsman Florian Güllert, who engraved the patterns on the Amadeus UR-210 by hand. This sounds a little tenuous, but hey, Amadeus does make for a pretty nice sounding name for a watch. Urwerk, Baumgartner said, shares the same spirit as Mozart, hence the name Amadeus. Mozart was a prominent composer of the 18th century and Baumgartner, who has read Mozart’s biography, calls him a pioneer of the punk sub-culture and was a rebel in his time. The name Amadeus, according to Urwerk, comes from the legendary composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The clock is a centerpiece in Urwerk’s workshop and stands out for its elaborate gilding that was done in the purest of Baroque style. It was one of the first collector’s pieces that Baumgartner’s father gave to him, and so it has a special place in his heart. The engravings on the Amadeus UR-210 were inspired by an ancient 18th-century clock that was gifted to Urwerk co-founder Felix Baumgartner. More crucially, it is a big watch and commands serious wrist presence. Water resistance remains the same at 30m too. The case is made out of a combination of steel and titanium and overall dimensions remain the same at 43.8mm in diameter and 17.8mm in height.
The new Amadeus UR-210 has all of these functions, but the standout feature of the watch is its intricately engraved case. In Stop mode, the rotor is completely disengaged and doesn’t wind the mainspring at all. In Reduced mode, an air turbine compressor slows down the rotor’s movement so that the mainspring is wound slower.

Full translates even the smallest movements into winding the mainspring. There are three modes: Full, Reduced, and Stop. That’s not all though, the UR-210 also includes an adjusting mechanism on the case back of the watch that lets you alter the efficiency of the rotor. Essentially, it tells you if you have been moving your wrist enough to generate enough power in the mainspring to drive the watch. What the efficiency indicator does is that it displays the difference between energy consumed and energy generated by the mainspring for the past two hours.
However, what made it really special was its efficiency indicator. Like the UR-105 before it, it uses Urwerk’s signature system of satellites to display time. The Amadeus UR-210 is a unique piece and was created especially for Urwerk’s 20th anniversary. The Amadeus UR-210 is based on the Urwerk UR-210, which was first introduced in 2012.
