Urban Jürgensen

A very elegant, rare platinum wristwatch with date

Sold

The Urban Jürgensen brand looks back on a long tradition. The Jürgensen manufactory was originally established in Copenhagen in 1773. The brand has always cultivated the art of watchmaking of the very highest quality and strives to combine technical perfection with classic elegance.
The modern brand "Urban Jürgensen Copenhagen" was taken over by Peter Baumberger in 1979 with master watchmaker Derek Pratt at the helm, while remaining committed to the original principles of technical excellence, traditional aesthetics and master craftsmanship.
This hand-crafted wristwatch reference 8 is the perfect embodiment of this combination. It features the brand’s distinctive teardrop lugs, a stepped bezel and a hand-made solid silver dial. Different guilloche patterns create an eclectic texture and an exciting play of light, framed by a satin-finished outer rail with hand-painted blue Roman numerals and simple minute divisions. The aperture for the date is positioned at 6 o’clock. The hand-crafted solid gold and blue observatory-style hands have been created on a precision lathe and polished to a high gloss. The watch is powered by a self-winding Frederic Piguet top-quality ébauche with 21 K gold rotor.
