Urban Jürgensen has been manufacturing chronometers without interruption since 1773. In 2003, the company began working on an exceptional proprietary movement that would form a bridge between the high-precision instruments of the day and contemporary mechanical watchmaking.
This research would come to fruition, thanks to the contributions of master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen and movement designer Jean-François Mojon, following the demise of Peter Baumberger in 2010. Unveiled last year, the P8 calibre with detent escapement and COSC certification is 40% more precise than the average, and will accommodate an exceptional diversity of complications.
The case, in platinum or in 18kt rose gold, measures 42mm. It has double sapphire crystals and is water resistant to 30 meters.
Movement is the automatic in-house caliber UJSP8REF11CA, with twin barrels and pivoted detent escapement, specific barrel bridge incorporating the automatic winding module, 18kt gold rotor and an 88-hour power reserve.
The dial is solid silver with hand-guilloché motif, Breguet numerals, small seconds at 6 o'clock and power-reserve indicator at 12 o'clock.
