R Werk TYP-01 | The Watch Stand Redefined

Passion. Project.

R Werk’s mission is to explore, design, and produce beautifully-crafted sculptures that sit at the intersection of automotive engineering and horology.

TYP-01

Limited to just 399 units, the TYP-01 isn’t a typical watch stand. It isn’t subdued or discreet. It doesn’t belong in a drawer or a closet. It doesn’t fade into the background. It’s a beautifully-crafted sculpture inspired by iconic elements of the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7.

Design

The TYP-01 isn’t a replica of machine parts but a vivid interpretation. It reimagines the equal-length racing exhaust header of the flat-six engine, the ducktail spoiler of the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, and high-end interiors with a new vibrancy. It took more than a year to design and develop.LEARN MORE

Ergonomics

The TYP-01 isn’t only designed to look beautiful but to perform functionally as furniture. After more than a year of researching, prototyping, and usability testing, every dimension of it is instinctively simple to use.LEARN MORE

Craftsmanship

To achieve the sculpture with the materials we envisioned, we had to search beyond traditional manufacturing for advanced methods often reserved for the aerospace industry and the highest-performing racing teams. Every facet, down to the hidden titanium screws, are bespoke, designed, and commissioned by R Werk.LEARN MORE

Materials

To guarantee its longevity, The TYP-01 uses only premium materials. These include scratch-resistant Alcantara®, aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum, corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, and heat-resistant Grade 5 titanium.Learn more

Reviews

Eagerly esoteric and indulgent to the verge of decadence, TYP-01 reflects an obsessive intentionality seldom seen outside coachbuilders' bespoke studios.

TYP-01 is an aesthetic delight, whether it is taken on its own or as a symbol of the passions that led to it. The simple addition of your watch instantly transforms it into a piece with emotional weight of your own.

The TYP-01 demands attention. The design of the pipes leading into the elevated Alcantara pad highlights the watch on display.
