Independents

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.

I am so glad to see this brand continue production - the loss of Mr. Baumberger was tragic.

This new model - the Voutilainen influence extends to the case: those beautiful, sensuous lugs!

here is an example of 1982:

Lovely, isn't it?

I am really excited to see this brand continue with a very consistent vision!

there are other watches as well-proportioned and elegant as the UJ, but I can't think of any that are better!

Sheer class

...and the sunray finishing on the movement is to die for.

A gorgeous piece with an inventive escapement!  Very glad that this one will see commercial production.

Beautiful movement in that watch. I like it.

Thanks.
