Urban Jürgensen is back
After the passing of Peter Baumberger last year, the future of UJS was up in the air. But I have good news for followers of the brand, UJS will show its new Detent Chronometer UJS-08 at Baselworld. Begun while Mr Baumberger was still alive, the movement is conceived by Jean-Francois Mojon and Kari Voutilainen for UJS; Voutilainen and Mojon remain with UJS and the new owner is Dr Helmut Crott, the German watch auctioneer.

there are other watches as well-proportioned and elegant as the UJ, but I can't think of any that are better! Sheer class colinwillsher
I saw prototypes of this watch at Kari's
