Alfred UJ - request for feedback
Dear all,
My father is about to purchase an Urban Jurgensen Alfred. As this would be his first UJ (after years with a Calatrava), I wanted to get back feedback from those of you who’ve had experience handling and/or owning UJs before - including but not limited to the Alfred model.
Specifically:
- in terms of quality and finishing, is this on par with a Lange, PP, VC or more in the direction of the high end independents, e.g. KV, FPJ, etc.?
- what has been your experience with long term reliability and after sales service?
- anything else you wish you had known before? Any surprises positive or negative about UJ?
Thanks a lot in advance. Appreciate it.
Paul

Thanks
Thanks Sham. Very helpful feedback. As you mention Rexhepi...what do you think of his time only Chronometre? I’ve been wearing an FPJ Chronometre Bleu for a while now and I am itching to potentially upgrade. Is it a step up?
Its def a step up imho .
A FPJ CB is a great watch but the Akrivia RR is a excellent and perfect finished watch. 👌🏻😘
Agreed!
The Chronometre Contemporain is arguably two steps up on the Chronometre Bleu - the movement finishing is incomparable ie it could be the best in the business. FP Journe does not over emphasize on movement finishing and focuses more on chronometric accura...
I saw UJ Alfred...
It was wonderful, beautiful dial, movement side was equally gorgeous....& then the teardrop lugs... Just the size of UJ irks me a bit, the dials are so classy I wish they’re >=39 Best, Mahesh.,
