At this point, you’ve probably become familiar with independent watchmaker Urban Jürgensen and its classic, yet superbly executed watches. In this instance, the Reference 1140, the brand’s cornerstone and signature piece, should be nothing new to you… Well, wait to discover its latest version, a pretty splendid limited edition, as you could be surprised by one or two features.

Patek – Hand-Wound – Chronograph: three words that give you an immediate indication of what to expect. Classic, iconic, timeless, desirable, historic. This watch, a manual-winding chronograph by Patek, is a perfect example of the grail watch for many collectors. So, you can imagine that when it comes to replacing it, the brand simply cannot […]
It all started with a bright idea based on some vague pictures. Dutch entrepreneurs Alfredo Silva and Martijn van Hassel stepped into the watch limelight exactly ten years ago with a brand name they borrowed from a man they could never have known.
