New Urban Jurgensen

 

As soon as I saw this watch I knew I wanted it. One of the three ADs in the US had one, and the rest is history. Absolutely lovely watch and in stainless, which I appreciated in this offering. Love the Jean-Francois Mojon, of Chronode, movement architecture and sun ray pattern. Rumor has it that Voutilainen did the dial, but I can't find that anywhere officially. The finishing is superb. Hands are next level, a typical UJ feature. The watch wears well, though a bit smaller than its stated 40mm to my eye/wrist. I love it. I tried to take a couple photos in different light and will try to add those to the thread. Might add a bespoke Rousseau strap in due time. Overall, very pleased with this purchase and continuing to expand my watch comfort zone.

Hi there!

Too early for me to say that yet. My Journes are very dear to my heart, but this UJ is very very special. Totally different look. I love them all!

Thank you for posting!

The watch suits your wrist and for me that is what matters most. And did the colour of the dial live up to your expectation since you had never seen it in the flesh prior to ordering it? And you probably know this but Kari and Jean-Francois Mojon were hea... 

Completely met expectations.

Really loved it as soon as I unboxed it. Wears great. I did know the JFM and KV tie-ins you mention. Splendid watch all around and very happy to be one of the few to get one. UJ is really killing it lately, and I hope to see that continue.

Brilliant!

Bravo for restraint, workmanship and taste. Nice watch!

I was very tempted by this piece when I saw it several months ago.

At the most basic level (in terms of why we might buy a watch) the dial was very unique in terms of colour, that alone made this watch stand out from the others in the case. At the same time the unique colour was still pretty versatile in my mind. And the... 

Hey Jay! Nice to see you here!

Yes, what was so appealing to me is that where else can you find that package of movement and finishing with such a unique champagne dial. I like unique dial colors, and I think this one fits in nicely as part of my trio. I would like to add a blue, and t... 

Haha yes. The pace here is a little more to my liking/style.

But as you’ll see I’m not the only crossover, there are a handful of others too.

WHAT A HONEY!

So much to admire, so much interest, while at the same time serenely simple. No wonder you pounced! And the wonder doesn’t stop when you turn it over. (I hesitate to use “it” as the watch has so much personality!) Lucky fellow. Congratulations! FH
