The URWERK UR-105 tantalum housing marks the end of the 105 series
"At URWERK, we made a radical decision very early: the decision to remain independent at all costs and limit our growth, despite all the recommendations to the contrary, this is one of the most important decisions. In order to remain true to ourselves, Keeping URWERK, we produce less than 150 pieces a year. This means that we reluctantly have to "kill" a series to bring new creations to life. Time is running out for UR-105 CT," URWERK co-founder Felix Baumgartner explain. The new Tantalum Hull is the last version of UR-105 CT, and the 105 series ended in style. Show UR-105 TTH.
"Tantalum is a very special metal. Its name comes from Tantalus, one of the bad boys in Greek mythology. Tantalum is precious, rare, and extremely painful to process and finish. A few years ago, we made tantalum. UR-110-the first time is almost the last time. The team asked me to promise not to use it again because tantalum "eaten" the drill bits of our CNC machine tools. It destroyed them and reduced their lives by a factor of three. But I like its blue-gray luster. Pure magic!" Co-founder Martin Frei revealed.
