Since its acquisition in 1985 by Peter Baumberger and subsequent rebirth in the 1990s under the technical supervision of Derek Pratt and Kari Voutilainen, Urban Jürgensen has always maintained an immediately recognizable visual language with its elegant slim stepped cases, tear drop lugs, lavish guilloché dials and elaborate hands.

Cased in platinum and consigned by the original Japanese owner, the present watch perfectly encapsulates Urban Jürgensen's design philosophy. An early example made in the 1990s, it most notably displays a 37mm platinum case with immediately-recognizable teardrop lugs and a convex bezel. Finished to perfection, the case has been made in the "traditional" way, meaning that each component has been hand polished and made without the overuse of modern technology.

The dial is a work of beauty, being decorated with a guilloché finish, made by hand. The numerals are made with blue enamel, and the contrasting patterns are delicate and a sight to behold. This version does not have the date at 6 o'clock - a detail which is particularly sought after by retailer.

Offered with its original certificate and presentation box, the present watch represents the dream of independent watchmaking, made under the leadership of the horological greats: Derek Pratt, Kari Voutilainen and Peter Baumberger, reflecting a bygone era and produced during one of the most productive moments in the history of independent watchmaking.
