Independents

I just got this fairly newly released Urban Jürgensen One-It was introduced last year at Baselworld, and there was some unexpected waiting time to get to the first batch of UJ Ones delivered to UJ's historical country of origin, Denmark. From my first enc...  

I’ve been thinking a lot about Urban Jurgensen lately - so this is very helpful. Your pics are great. The case and bracelet are indeed in A league of their own.

Certainly worth some attention. Would like to learn more and maybe visit them in Bienne when the opportunity comes.

really excels in its class. I did try it on and the fit, feel and finish is superior to anything else I have owned IMO. While the same size as the RO it wears better so all size wrists can wear it. Plus it has the 120 WR as opposed to 50 WR for the RO. Na... 

Let us know what you think of the Lange when you try it on. I might see it soon, but the whole bracelet/case relation/ integration on the Lange is just not there is it? The Odysseus might end up looking cooler on a suede strap I think, but I might be 100%...  

I never saw one in the real but it looks like being a very handsome and high quality watch.

Maybe give the GMT a go as well if they have it.

The One will attract attention to UJ as a brand and its history. The foundation, the rebirth, Peter Baumberger’s determination, the inspiration to Voutilainen. It did that to me. I had no idea. It is great times for independent watchmaking. Who would have...

Until I tried it on. ..

Its such a great and elegant watch to look at. Great choice and wear it in best of health

Always appreciate your opinion.

I applaud you to your choice, it is something different from the crowd (if I am allowed to say that PP 5711 and RO 15202 are part of the "crowd") and meticulously finished. Thank you also for the very informative review.

UJ Commando! ...  

I love this watch!

At this price point you just want no compromise. Ever.

I have a white and blue dial 15202, and this watch in place of the blue dial, or as a supplement in the grey dial, certainly has me thinking.

Thanks for sharing, was thinking about picking up the non-GMT although I wish there was a non-date version.

Speak to them and see if you can order a non-date. They are small enough to do that maybe. I heard of a customer who ordered a white dial gmt version for example. I can send you a pm with the director’s email address and contact details if you want.
