Oh yes!
And I would personally choose the 1140C with the P8 caliber designed by Peter Baumberger and Jean-François Mojon: I love the look of this rose gold model and would want this pivoted detent escapement.
Great watches
Wonder what the plan is with this brand? I almost got the blue dial platinum ref but ended up with a Laurent Ferrier instead. Sometimes wish I went UJ
No idea of what Kari Voutilainen is cooking!
And having a classic micro rotor LF, I personally have no regret. I love it and it suits my taste even more than the UJ.
Good lord, I love UJ.
They make very cool stuff. A collector friend I know has one and it is one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen.
Yes, really very beautiful watches.
And the P8 caliber with detent escapement would be a pleasure to own.

I don’t think there is any other connection
than some similar aesthetic choices. But I know too little about UJ.
Some beautiful watches amongst this selection
It's good news that Kari Voutilainen is taking stewardship of this brand, as he shares his most famous and beloved style with Urban Jurgensen. Obviously, Urban Jurgensen came first, but Kari has done such excellent work that collectors now associate him w...
Thanks for your insight.
I personally like the 1140C and the detent escapement P8 designed by Baumberger and Mojon.
Lord, have mercy!
I see you're quite a fan of UJ. On one of the Dr Crott auctions there was a pocket watch made by UJ as a finall exam in the school. Did you know UJ and Lange were friends?
How stupid of me
I'm sorry, at my age memory does not work that well. It was Moritz Grossman, not UJ haha. Here, take a look. uhren-muser.de
I did not like the WG crowns on the Platinum models
I know a lot of brands do it, but the gray gold really looks dingy against the platinum case.
I wasn’t aware of this detail
concerning the UG and, like you, I dislike it. Best, Emmanuel
