T3 India

URWERK UR-102 RELOADED The only thing T3 is more partial to than a minimal watch face is a blast from the horological past, which is why we love the Urwerk UR-102 Reloaded. Originally launched at Baselworld 1997, the UR-102 featured a smooth round body and an iconic handless design, displaying the time with a wandering hour unit that glided round a semi-circular track. Updated for the 21st century, the UR-102 Reloaded’s case has been scaled up to 41mm from 38mm, while its lugs are larger, taking their design cue from the Sputnik satellite. And it has a sleeker silhouette, thanks to its relocated crown, which blends into the case at 4 o’clock. Can’t decide whether the titanium or the black finish suits your style best? No problem. When you pick up…

Now smartness is certainly something that has to do with a connected and responsive device or ecosystem that learns and evolves itself. These days, the smartest places in personal space could be automobile cabins. With advanced tech like ADAS making fast progress in the Indian auto industry, and AI traffic monitoring cameras causing a furore in one of the southern states, we believe it is time for us to train our eyes and ears more on this segment. Inside, you will find more such content from the industry, including our experience with the Hyundai Tucson and the new Maruti Suzuki Fronx. And while you climb…

“More power! Go for it!” The friendly words of encouragement crackle through a walkie-talkie and fill the otherwise silent cabin of a Jaguar F-Type SVR wearing studded tyres. I accelerate hard, firing rooster tails of snow powder at my classmates patiently waiting behind for their turn. Remembering whatever I can from the instructor’s high-speed demonstration a few minutes earlier, I turn left, right, then left again to provoke the car into a slide. Opposite lock applied, it’s time to accelerate as hard as I dare around a massive circular track carved into the icy surface of a frozen lake. The track is a whole kilometre in circumference and my goal is to match the 130 km/h I saw during the pro driver’s demonstration. Speed rising and V8 engine howling, the car suddenly…
