The Brand “UHRKRAFT”
The Brand
The German watch brand UHRKRAFT® was founded in 1999. The name UHRKRAFT® stands for extraordinary. That fact is emphasized by ”kraft” in the name UHRKRAFT ®.
Also the homophone between UHRKRAFT ® and ‚Urkraft‘(elemental force) was intended. The four elements (Earth, Air, Water and Fire) are standing for an almost invincible force.
The brand is since 1999 an active player in the market and is developed as an insider tip for watch fans. You can find UHRKRAFT ® on every continent, but not in massive stores, but in small, well-picked places, there, where you do not expect it.
The conscious price positioning in the middle and upper price segment (from ca. 799,00 € to 3.500,00€) is chosen because it is possible to achieve individuality, usage of highest quality Swiss calibre, usage of valuable material (e.g. sapphire glass, titanium, butterfly clasp etc.) as well as top processing. From entrepreneur- decision we decided to dispense with expensive sponsoring and advertisement as this would boost prices.
UHRKRAFT ® = Time to be different!

Master watchmakers
Our master watchmakers are involved in manufacturing and repairing watches for decades. That is why they have a large know how in manufacturing watches, but also in service for every other watch brand. Since 2011, every UHRKRAFT ® watch is manufactured piece by piece in Essen-Kettwig, Germany. From there the UHRKRAFT ® watches are sent to national, but also to international clients from all places over the world.
Manufactory
Our manufactory (from lat. manus “hand” and lat. facere “to build, do, make, create”) is mastering the production site of highly skilled watchmakers, whose different operations aim for a common final product, in this case an individual watch. The watches of the Brand UHRKRAFT ® are made from the initial idea, over the design to final assembly. The calibres are almost exclusively obtained from high-quality Swiss manufacturer.
