Urban Jürgensen was founded by Jürgen Jürgensen, a Danish horologist of Swiss descent, in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1773. Urban Jürgensen quickly gained recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship, precision, and commitment to horological innovation. The brand is also known for its hand-finished movements, which are often elaborately decorated and showcase the artistry of the watchmaker. The watch presented here is the 1140L White Gold Blue Dial, another great example of a great watch from an independent watchmaker. Crafted out of white gold and measuring 40mm, the watch exudes an unrivaled degree of enduring longevity. The dial of the watch exhibits an exquisite array of meticulously crafted hand guilloche patterns. The central portion of the dial is adorned with a grain d'orge motif, showcasing a sophisticated level of artistry. The sub-seconds dial boasts an intricate basket work pattern, and finally, the periphery hour ring features a satine circulaire finish, underscoring the watch's attention to detail and refinement. Each dial requires an extremely labor-intensive process that spans two days, dedicated to creating the resplendent blue silver-hued dial. Completed with a black alligator leather strap, the watch unites to form a sleek and professional dress watch. In recent years, Urban Jürgensen has continued to uphold its heritage while incorporating modern innovations and materials into its timepieces. The brand remains dedicated to preserving the traditional art of watchmaking and creating heirloom-quality watches that can be passed down through generations.
