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.
