‘If it ain't broke, don't fix it’.  That maxim often makes sense in wristwatch design. With demand far outstripping production, URWERK's targatopped 103.03 certainly does not need fixing. So what do you do when you have an incredibly successful watch yet wish to extend the design boundaries further still?
The answer that URWERK's designer Martin Frei and watchmaker Felix Baumgartner came up with was two-pronged: They used a unique coating over platinum and also crafted a platinum-cased limited edition. Since platinum is often considered the king of the royal metals, URWERK gave its designs the royal treatment.
