This superb Urban Jürgensen reference 1140YG in yellow gold with a black dial epitomises handmade luxury watchmaking. With great proportions and elegance, the exceptional finishing throughout is immediately evident.

The stunning black dial with applied yellow gold hour markers is classic Urban Jürgensen and is entirely handmade using the traditional engine-turning process called 'guillochage' in French on a solid silver plate. It requires up to 700 operations and a full 2 days of work to complete each dial. Jürgensen’s instantly recognisable hands too are handmade.

The case is no less complex to manufacture and features Jürgensen’s signature individually soldered teardrop lugs, an extremely skilled and painstaking process which remains a trade secret. The movement calibre P4 with large twin-barrels is manufactured by Jean-Francois Mojon of Chronode, exclusively for Urban Jürgensen.

It features a stop-seconds mechanism which allows precise time setting, the two barrels provide up to 72 hours of power reserve. Finished with ‘cotes de Genève’ and superb anglage, this yellow gold Ref. 1140 will impress even the most exacting of collectors with its gorgeous handmade aesthetic.

Among the world's greatest watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries, members of the Jürgensen family, notably Urban and Jules, worked alongside other horological geniuses such as Jacques-Frédéric Houriet, Breguet, and John Arnold, and have greatly contributed to the development of watchmaking.
