The UJ-1 Anniversary Watch charms the eye with its harmony of graceful curves and light-catching surfaces. But beyond this immediate beauty lies something deeper: it is a bridge.

Carrying Urban Jürgensen’s philosophy of uncompromising craftsmanship across generations, it reflects the legacy of Peter Baumberger and Derek Pratt, previous stewards of the brand, while looking ahead under Kari Voutilainen’s guiding hand.

Limited to an exclusive edition of 75 pieces, there are three references each in a limited series of 25 wristwatches.

It is a reimagination of the legendary Urban Jürgensen Pratt Oval Pocket Watch, this wristwatch revisits the project that spanned nearly two decades.

The UJ-1 miniaturizes and adapts a version of the legendary pocket watch movement into a wristwatch for the first time ever – a feat that has been sought by watchmakers since the Oval’s unveiling.

Every detail represents countless hours of patient, hand-finished artistry channeled to create a very special timepiece.

Not merely an homage, but a continuation – a watch that makes time itself feel more precious through its affordance on the wrist.

Its story is closely tied to Kari, whose connection to Urban Jürgensen is defined by shared ideals. Years ago, when Pratt could no longer complete the Oval, Peter Baumberger turned to Kari to see it through.

Now, as Co-CEO of UJ, he returns – not to replicate, but to carry forward a vision of time kept beautifully.

The Anniversary Watch is not about preserving the past. It is about making it part of today.

Every curve, every gear, every guilloché surface speaks to where we’ve been and what comes next – a celebration of moments made more meaningful by how we choose to mark their passing.

Urban Jurgensen – UJ-2 Double Wheel Natural Escapement Blue Guilloche Edition


Urban Jürgensen – UJ-2 Double Wheel Natural Escapement Blue Guilloché Dial Gold 39 mm Edition 2025

UJ-2
The three-hand watch with double wheel
natural escapement 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Through the UJ-2’s understated beauty flow Urban Jürgensen’s philosophies – that the purest things demand our greatest efforts; that excellence is a goal in and of itself; and that the pursuit of perfection and doing things right is the key to joy. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This timepiece is by a Maison that seeks the challenges posed by exceptional watchmaking and doesn’t skirt them.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

At its heart is the double wheel natural escapement – a mechanism whose elegance belies the complexity of its creation. Each component, from the hand-finished wheels to the pristine bridges, to the decoration on parts unseen by the naked eye, exists because that’s the way it should be.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

When the escapement wheels perform their intricate ballet – each tooth precisely engaging and releasing in a mesmerizing rhythm, orchestrating time with microscopic precision – they represent generations of watchmakers, from Urban’s teacher Abraham Louis Breguet to the watchmakers of today, who looked at accepted solutions and strove to make them better.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The UJ-2 is not about complexity for complexity’s sake. It is about the relentless pursuit of perfection in even the simplest things. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Every element, visible or hidden, exists as a testament to the belief that marking time beautifully matters – that the way we choose to count our moments shapes how we experience them.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Inside the UJ-2 is a hand-wound movement of exceptional quality. Simple in concept—with a single barrel, a widely spaced going train, and a large balance—the caliber nevertheless incorporates very interesting details. It includes a power-reserve function to chart its 52-hour power reserve, but it does not use the elaborate screw-and-cone mechanism found in the UJ-1.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Architecturally, the rose gold-plated movement is reminiscent of early 1900s pocket watch calibers, particularly in its winding works and central bridge. The movement has a 32 mm diameter, and its components are widely spaced so that the entire going train is easily visible.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Thick graining covers the plates, while the edges are finished with anglage; the baseplate is decorated with perlage. The finishing is excellent and clearly reflects Mr Voutilainen’s personal style.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The most interesting part of the UJ-2 caliber has to be the regulating system and the escapement that drives it. The free-sprung balance has numerous timing and posing screws around its rim—far more than is typical for a modern balance.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The hairspring features a prominent Phillips curve, and its pinning point is immobile since the stud is rigidly fixed to the balance cock. This should improve stability over time, although it also adds complexity during assembly. Likely, this choice relates to the escapement, which requires the balance wheel to be perfectly centered at its neutral point.

Urban Jurgensen – Ref 1140 L Brown Gold

Urban Jürgensen – Reference 1140 L RG Brown Guilloché Dial Gold 40 mm Edition 

JÜRGENSEN 1745 COLLECTION

An Urban Jürgensen timepiece has always been an example of uncompromising craftsmanship, a tradition the company feel honour-bound to perpetuate. The Maison’s timepieces are not factory made out of some anonymous industrial building but carefully honed in a traditional atelier. The creation of an Urban Jürgensen watch is not the product of expedience, but instead the prolonged pursuit of excellence deploying the traditional highly specialised forms of craftsmanship reflecting the timeless traditions of the company.

At Urban Jürgensen there is a belief that perfection is seldom the product of haste. Machinery may offer capacity, but hand craftsmanship provides individuality and a lasting joy. While traditional materials ensure longevity, skilful hands are required to deftly manipulate tools in order to create horological objects of beauty.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO
In accord with the extraordinary history and high level of watch making of Urban Jϋrgensen, we are pleased to present our new 1140 RG L Brown for 2017. At first glance, the 1140 L RG Brown exhibits a simplicity that conceals the complexity of its creation. The construction methods and craftsmanship used appeal especially to connoisseurs of fine watchmaking. While some design elements and finishing are clear to see, others are virtually hidden from view. This new model complements the Jurgensen 1745 collection with a blend of our most precious examples of watchmaking art -, the Urban Jurgensen Hands, Guilloche dial, tear drop lugs and the in-house P4 movement.

The 40mm classical case design used in this reference, has a round form, teardrop shaped lugs and stepped bezel combined with exquisitely finished dial and hands.

Urban Jürgensen hands are very much hand-made. They comprise a significant number of components that are individually honed, assembled and finished. This naturally implies numerous hours of highly skilled workmanship and are a key feature of Urban Jürgensen timepieces. The steel arms of Urban Jürgensen hands are cut from selected steel and manually finished to ensure a perfect shape and fit.

Numerous hours of diligent polishing with increasingly fine-grained diamond paper are followed by mirror polishing using secret types of polishing paste applied using a variety of wooden pegs specially shaped for the task. The final touch is then set by meticulous thermal blueing, patiently performed by highly experienced artisans until they meet the inimitable Urban Jürgensen shade of navy blue. When the noble art of watchmaking is exercised at such a superlative level, the importance of the human hand is of course matched by that of a trained and expert eye. Symbolically, the ‘eye’ of the hour hand on Urban Jürgensen watches is a hand-crafted wonder in its own right: a concentrically diamond-polished solid gold insert that is precision-fitted and thus free of any glueing or soldering. Its asymmetrical design, gently tapered towards the tip, ensures a unique elegance. This unwavering commitment to excellence is further exemplified at the very centre of the dial, in the precision-turned and mirror-polished solid gold hand pipes (also known as bushes), around which the arms are riveted to ensure a perfect fit.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO
Urban Jürgensen are considered masters of the art of the hand finished guilloche dials. In the new model, it can be appreciated in the great attention to detail in the dial layout and pattern selections Grains d’orges and Guilloché Damier. Each dial requires up to 700 operations and takes 2 full days of hand work to complete on a guilloche lathe. After engine-turning, the dial is repeatedly brought to Rose heat and treated with acid to produce the unique warm colour by developing a fine layer of pure silver on the surface finally the dial is imbued with the proprietary Urban Jurgensen brown.

Hand-wound, hand-fitted and hand-made: hands at Urban Jürgensen indeed not only indicate time but in 2017 continue to stir the same excitement, approval and wonder among watchmakers and connoisseurs alike as they have for over 240 years.

------------------------------------------------------
About Urban Jürgensen

Our story started in 1745 with the birth in Copenhagen of Jürgen Jürgensen, founder of the watchmaking dynasty that still bears his name. Jürgen’s son, Urban Jürgensen (1776 - 1830), quickly followed in his father’s footsteps. After completing his apprenticeship at such extraordinary watchmakers as Breguet in Paris and Arnold in England, Urban steered the Jürgensen brand to new heights. Urban’s two sons, Jules-Frederik and Louis Urban, then continued the family tradition. Jules studied in Switzerland and moved to Le Locle, while his brother Louis remained in charge of the factory in Copenhagen, giving the company roots in both countries that have been maintained ever since. The innovation and excellence of Jürgensen’s output exerted a tremendous influence on the watchmaking industry of Le Locle and, indeed, the entire Canton of Neuchatel, introducing the latest techniques from around the world. Of course, none of this happened by accident; rather, it has been the product of centuries of commitment and dedication to the arts.

Urban Jürgensen hands, are very much hand-made. They comprise a significant number of components that are individually honed, assembled and finished.

The white gold arms of Urban Jürgensen hands are cut from solid white gold and manually finished to ensure a perfect shape and fit.

Urban Jürgensen are considered masters of the art of the hand finished guilloche dials. In the new model, it can be appreciated in the vast attention to detail in the dial layout and pattern selections Grains d’orges and Guilloché Damier. Each dial requires up to 700 operations and takes two full days of hand work to complete on a guilloche lathe. After engine-turning, the dial is repeatedly brought to Rose heat and treated with acid to produce the unique warm colour by developing a fine layer of pure silver on the surface finally the dial is imbued with the proprietary Urban Jurgensen blue.

The White Gold Urban Jürgensen Arabic numeral appliques are inspired by the hand painted enamel and gran feu dials of our historic pocket watches – an inspiration that imparts almost impossible challenges in crafting them in solid gold. Transferring the long extremely thin lines painted in a “1” or a “2”, or the small “+” on a “4”, is a challenge very few master today. It is simply very difficult and delicate work.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The Urban Jürgensen numerals cannot be stamped out. They are cut in several cutting processes from a solid gold sheet to arrive at the final shape, followed by an extremely delicate polishing process finished by hand to arrive at the fine “bombé” pillow shaped profile. And because they are so fine in the details, no two sets on two dials are identical.

Hand-wound, hand-fitted and hand-made: hands at Urban Jürgensen indeed not only indicate time but in 2017 continue to stir the same excitement, approval and wonder among watchmakers and connoisseurs alike as they have for over 240 years.

Urban Jürgensen- the Unique Danish-Swiss Connection Unveils a New Collection at Baselworld 2016

In the Jürgensen 1745 Collection, Urban Jürgensen is introducing a new model, Reference 1741 in Platinum with Perpetual calendar, leap year indicator and moon phases. The Reference 1741 dial is handmade using Grenage dial making and fitted with the Urban Jürgensen white gold Arabic numerals appliques. The creation of the moon disk involves more than 20 different operations and the result is a unique, tiny wonder of classic workmanship that is rarely found in timepieces nowadays.

Urban Jürgensen is also pleased to present the new Jules Collection with two new models, Reference 2240 and 2340. Both models share new contemporary tapered lugs in a classic design on a convex and concave curved case with a diameter of 40 mm.

Reference 1741 Platinum

Urban Jürgensen is introducing a new model, Reference 1741 Platinum with perpetual calendar, leap year indicator and moon phases. This timepieces showcases an almost forgotten traditional technique called grenage admirably revived by the brand. It is hand-crafted, delicate and time-consuming, but the final result justifies the difficulties in creating such intricate dial finishing.

The hand-made grenage dial is fitted with the white gold applied Arabic numerals. The moon disc involves more than 20 different operations required to create a unique miniature marvel of classic workmanship such as is rarely found in timepieces nowadays. The reference 1741 caliber is based on the P4 in-house movement. The elegant case profile featuring convex and concave curves consists of 3 main parts: the middle fitted with individually soldered teardrop lugs; the top bezel featuring a domed sapphire crystal, and the screw-in back
 equipped with flat sapphire crystal.
