Catalogue Essay
- Founded in Copenhagen in 1773, Urban Jürgensen stands as Denmark’s oldest continuously operating watch and clockmaker. Reimagined in the 1970s, the modern chapter of the brand embraced the clean, functional beauty of mid-century Danish design. That spirit lives on in the ref. 1140—a watch that perfectly captures the quiet elegance and thoughtful restraint that define Urban Jürgensen.

- This latest interpretation of the ref. 1140 stays true to the model’s iconic silhouette while introducing a fresh take in stainless steel with a soft champagne dial. Traditionally offered only in precious metals with guilloché dials and classical Breguet numerals, this 40mm execution marks a subtle yet meaningful evolution—maintaining the soul of the original while offering something distinctly new.

- The dial retains all the hallmarks of Urban Jürgensen’s meticulous craftsmanship—from the hand-guilloché wave pattern at center, to the basket weave motif in the small seconds, to the brushed chapter ring encircling it all. Domed solid gold numerals and blued steel hands with diamond-polished eyes complete the picture. Everything is finished to perfection, coming together in a watch that feels both timeless and quietly extraordinary.
