Together with the new Reference 2140 with black dial, at Baselworld 2018 Urban Jürgensen presented a prestigious limited edition of just 20 pieces, the Reference 1140 RG Brown.
Lines and colours of this timepiece - the result of a hand craftsmanship reflecting century-old traditions - express pure harmony with a chocolate brown dial of great elegance. The apparent simplicity conceals the complexity of its construction.
Crafted from rose gold, the 40 mm classical case design has a round form and it is enhanced by the teardrop shaped lugs and the distinctive stepped bezel which frames a meticulously finished dial and hands.
The thermally blued hands are completely hand-made and created from a number of components that are individually honed, assembled and finished by a highly skilled artisan. Asymmetrical in their design, they are gently tapered towards the tip and characterized by the large diamond-polished eye of the hour hand crafted from red gold.
The craftsmanship excellence is evident at the centre of the dial, in the precision-turned and mirror-polished solid gold hand pipes (also known as bushes), around which the arms are riveted to ensure a perfect fit.
The hand finished guilloché dial is a work of art which alternates Grains d’orges and Guilloché Damier patterns. Each dial requires up to 700 operations and takes 2 full days of hand work to complete on a guilloché lathe.
Crafted from solid rose gold, the Arabic numeral appliques are inspired by the hand painted enamel and grand feu dials of the historic Urban Jürgensen pocket watches.
These numerals are not stamped out. Instead, they are cut in several cutting processes from a solid gold sheet to arrive at the final shape, followed by an extremely delicate hand-made polishing resulting in a fine “bombé” pillow shaped profile. Because of this artisanal process, no two sets on two dials are identical.
The 1140 RG Brown is equipped with the in-house hand-wound Urban Jürgensen P4 Lever Escapement movement which beats at 3 Hz (21,600 vph) and features two barrels for a 72-hour power reserve. The quality of its haute-horlogerie finishes can be appreciated through the flat sapphire crystal.
