The horological mavericks at Urwerk have just dropped their latest wristwatch and it is, pardon the pun, out of this world!*The Urwerk UR-100 SpaceTime is a stratospherically cool and novel concept for a timepiece, and one that seems very, very complicated indeed.*Essentially, the SpaceTime will not only tell its lucky owners the time, but the distance travelled on Earth and the distance travelled by Earth.*Much like other watches in Urwerk's back catalogue, their latest timepiece employs the use of the watchmaker's famed orbital hour satellites and striking red-tipped arrow minute pointer, which makes its way across the bottom of the svelte case. However, once the minute pointer has travelled past the 60-minute marker, it then makes its way underneath the first sub-dial and then resurfaces at the 10 o'clock position to display the distance that us humanoids have statically travelled on Earth.*The SpaceTime can calculate this by portraying the Earth's average speed of rotation around the equator in 20-minute intervals, in which time it will shift approximately 555 km.*Once it reaches the end of this sub-dial, the red-tipped arrow makes its way underneath another sub-dial and then reappears at the two o'clock position on the dial to exhibit the Earth's…
