What to know

The UJ-2 combines offset hours and minutes with small seconds and a fractional power-reserve display. Its hand-guilloché silver dial, applied chapter rings and reinterpreted teardrop lugs connect the revived Urban Jürgensen collection with traditional craft. The 39mm case is offered in platinum or rose gold, with blue or silver-toned dials.

The hand-wound UJ-2 calibre uses a direct double-wheel natural escapement and provides a 52-hour reserve. A sapphire back reveals its finishing, framed by further guilloché. The model belongs to the collection unveiled in 2025; the source profile dates to August 2026. Photographs show blue- and silver-dial examples of the same model.
