Urban Jurgensen Ref 1140 RG

 
 By: samwan : February 16th, 2021-23:51
Although headquartered in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland, Urban Jurgensen is mainly seen as a Danish brand because of its founders two centuries ago. The brand name was derived from the father-and-son combination of Jurgen and Urban Jurgensen. Ownership subse...  

I love it . Love that dial color and case combo

That movement and case design are just gorgeous.

Thanks for posting Sam!

I love everything about it apart from the size which is why I do not have a UJ in my collection unfortunately.

Yes, it is an elegant design

and the tapering Cotes de Geneve on the movement is classy....

I like it a lot!

The only 'negative' is that it ruins similar hands of other brands eg Breguet for me, as the UJ work is at a completely different level. All the best, Alex

The hands are in fact reminiscent of

18th and 19th century marine chronometers made by Urban Jurgensen...

they are spectacular, if not easily the best in the industry. The craftsmanship and detail is unseen. Thanks for sharing this beauty!

I also like the white gold, salmon dial version. Probably the best one. All the best, Alex

Thanks for the compliment

Long ago I tried an UJ

I love the movement ...  

Very very pretty

Sublime

This is a silent kinda beauty. It speaks volumes without the need of mass market branding.

Very true

A beautiful watch

And please keep in mind Kari worked at UJS for many years before starting his own atelier, so if anything the inspiration for these observatoire hands started with UJS, not with Kari.

Very good point

I have seen this in the metal and it looks even better.

 
 By: NautNut : February 17th, 2021-07:40
A very nice piece for sure

They are very brave to throw some inward angles into the movement...

 
 By: mdg : February 17th, 2021-09:03
...something not even the 'big boys' usually do. Like Sham, I'd prefer 38mm even though I have a relatively large wrist...

Ahhh....I did not spot those angles

 
 By: samwan : February 17th, 2021-18:42
Good point.

The pleasure is mine :)

 
 By: samwan : February 17th, 2021-18:43

Those hands and numerals are awesome 👌

Totally agreed

Beautiful, balanced, elegant and composed

What comes to my mind when I see it. The execution is just flawless, on a very high level. The movement, gorgeous. The only thing I don‘t like (on any watch) is the use of more than one guilloche pattern on the dial - but that’s just me. Thanks for sharin... 

Please do!

It is an outstanding watch on every level. Have a happy Thursday, samwan.

Ultimate beauty

 
 By: Blue and White : February 20th, 2021-00:38
In my view, this watch outshines even Kari’s master pieces and that is because I like the hands on the UJ more than the arrow shaped hands on KV. In particular, this version in rose gold with chocolate dial is sensational. Gentlemen, just note the contras... 

Thank you for the kind words

especially about the indices

A thing of beauty....

what's not to like on this one? It's perfect. Darren

This is a beautiful watch!
