With a history reaching back 250 years, today’s Swiss manufacturer Urban Jürgensen was established by Jürgen Jürgensen and his eldest son Urban who travelled throughout Europe studying with master’s like Breguet, Berthoud, Houriet, and Arnold. Urban took over the family business in 1811 upon his father’s passing and continued the family tradition producing exceptional precision timepieces. The brand was reborn in the 1980s and 1990s by Peter Baumberger and the much-heralded English watchmaker, Derek Pratt, who set out to rebuild Urban Jürgensen with a commitment to the brand’s original tenets of technical excellence, traditional aesthetics, and handmade master craftsmanship.
An integral part of the history of 20th century independent watchmaking, Urban Jürgensen today is at the forefront of exceptional watchmaking - highly respected and appreciated by collectors around the world. The reference 1140WG captures the spirit and philosophy of the brand with a quiet elegance and restrain that has a modern appeal. The spirit of traditional watchmaking is seen in the iconic silhouette with tear drop lugs in a contemporary 40mm diameter case, which is highlighted by the wave and basket weave hand-guilloché blue dial and gold baton indices. The exceptional P4 caliber with two mainspring barrels and 72 hour power reserve shines through the sapphire crystal back.
Offered by the original owner, this reference 1140WG is in excellent condition and complete with its Certificate of Authenticity and presentation box. This example is a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity that embodies this prestigious brand.
