Key Points from the Discussion

The minute repeater with its regulator dial layout is particularly interesting, demonstrating a unique approach to complication display.
Urban Jürgensen is noted for potentially producing the first wristwatch with a detent escapement, a significant technical achievement in precision timekeeping.
A key question arises regarding the shockproof detent escapement: whether it offers superior accuracy compared to a standard Swiss lever escapement, and if data supports this claim.

Wow, those really are stunning.

I must learn more. The repeater is very interesting with the regulator dial layout. Thanks for the beautiful photos and especially the peek behind the lens. ;-) Best, respo

Thanks for the great pics!

I own a Ref2 perpetual and have loved the design for many years. I believe this is the first wrist watch with a detent escapement. Regards, Joseph

Thanks for all those images,Don. does anyone else make a detent...

Movement that will function if shocked? Is there any data that indicates his movement is more accurate than the standard Swiss lever?
