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

About

URWERK EMC

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.

Insights

Swiss timepieces Chronometry watch EMC

FIRST HIGH-END MECHANICAL WATCH WITH ELECTRONIC INDICATIONS

As a world first, the EMC allows the owner to gauge the chronometric performance of his watch.

MANUAL-WINDING GENERATOR

The EMC’s monitoring unit is powered by a micro-generator made by the Swiss company Maxon, known for developing motors for NASA’s Mars rovers.

DIAL WITH FOUR SEPARATE INDICATIONS

  • Hours and minutes dial
  • 80-hour power reserve indicator
  • Seconds dial
  • Precision indicator

MAINSPRING BARRELS IN SERIES

Power is provided by two large mainspring barrels connected in series, mounted vertically on a single shaft, providing a long 80-hour power reserve conducive to stable and linear timing performance.

BESPOKE BALANCE WHEEL

The balance is made non-magnetic and anti-corrosion ARCAP. Its dimensions and shape have been carefully calculated to optimise data from the optical sensor, maximise aerodynamic efficiency and minimise loss of amplitude.

OPTICAL SENSOR

When activated, a tiny optical sensor on the balance wheel captures the precise rate of oscillation of the 4 hertz / 28,800 vph regulator for a period of 3 seconds.

IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT

EMC is a fully 100% mechanical watch. The calibre was conceived, developed, crafted and calibrated in the URWERK ateliers.
 

TIMING ADJUSTMENT SCREW

The precision can be adjusted by turning the screw on the back, which changes the active length of the spring. This allows the owner to adjust the time to suit his own lifestyle.
