An Exclusive Look at the Majestic UJ-1 250th Anniversary Tourbillon by Urban Jürgensen
Renowned for its rich heritage in horology, Urban Jürgensen is making a monumental resurgence with the UJ-1 250th Anniversary Tourbillon. Revered for its flawless blend of timeless heritage and contemporary craftsmanship, the reintroduction has left the horology community in a state of high anticipation.
This revival isn’t just exciting for the long-established aficionados of the brand, but also for the newcomers fascinated by the world of neo-vintage high horology. The UJ-1 proposition is a field of discussion that overlaps independent watchmaking enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the iconic period of Urban Jürgensen spanning from the 1980s to 2000s.
Urban Jürgensen’s comeback is marked by the powerhouse UJ-1 Flying Tourbillon with Remontoir d’Égalité, an ‘Anniversary Watch’ comparable only to the esteemed A. Lange & Söhne’s Tourbillon Pour le Merite of 1994. The technical precision revealed here is equally compelling and complex.
Underneath the UJ-1’s intricate design lies an adherence to its core DNA - an uninterrupted refinement process that has developed over 250 years of established history. Expertise, elegance, and embodiment of a enduring legacy - that’s the essence of Urban Jürgensen.
