EMC
“EMC allows you to obtain reliable and accurate data about your timepiece at the touch of a button, information that until now has been the preserve of professional watchmakers. Using this information, you can fine-tune one of the most exciting, most jubilant mechanisms invented – the mechanical watch – all by yourself.”
Felix Baumgartner
The EMC
In URWERK’s U-Research Division – the brand’s ‘experimental laboratory’ – some wild projects emerge.
This innovative, anti-establishment spirit has now been channelled into a watchmaking Holy Grail: fully interactive, EMC (Electro Mechanical Control) is the world’s first precision mechanical watch in which the timing can be both monitored and adjusted by the user to suit their lifestyle.
