Collective Horology’s second collaboration in their Portfolio series is a three-way collaboration with Urwerk, the independent Swiss watch manufacturer, and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York. The project has produced a bespoke timepiece that pays tribute to the experience of piloting the Space Shuttle Enterprise on the 40th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle program. It is the product of their shared passion for space exploration as well as their mutual quest for creative, concept-driven watches.
Ever wondered what that final countdown feels like before being launched into space? The Urwerk UR-100V P.02 collector’s wristwatch will give you an idea with a dial display that tracks the space shuttle program’s typical launch and landing sequences in minutes. These are visible through apertures that also show the approximate location of the shuttle at each phase of launch and landing. Green represents the shuttle on Earth. Blue indicates the shuttle traveling through the Earth’s sky or lower atmosphere. Red represents the upper atmosphere and black indicates the time in space or, more precisely, low earth orbit.
