4 Details Not To Be Missed On The New Urban Jürgensen 1140RG (Showing Real Hand-Made Techniques)

Every brand, at least those with a historical background, does have its own hallmarks, so-to-say those unmistakable signs that create a DNA, which helps people to identify a watch from a certain brand. For some, it is the shape of the case or a hand, for others it could be the complication used. For one brand, Urban Jürgensen, these are small details, however with such a level of execution that they deserve an entire story in this magazine – something that we’ll try to illustrate with the latest addition to the catalogue, the superb 1140RG in Rose Gold with a dark brown dial.

Featuring the same overall quality for an affordable price as the rest of the watches produced by the brand, this Artelier collection can be seen the elegant and complex (relatively-speaking) offering.

Hands-On – Ulysse Nardin Classico Paul David Nardin

This year, Ulysse Nardin is on the rush… After the impressive collection launched at the SIHH 2017, which showed more modern and more refined designs, yet “very Ulysse” in the style, we now have a succession of several rather surprising watches, with a vintage-inspired theme. After the Diver Le Locle, a dive watch inspired by a 1960s timepiece, here is now the Ulysse Nardin Classico Paul David Nardin, this time referring to a 1945 watch. And once again, the look is just superb.

When The Crown Goes Classic… The Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535

Usually, when you imagine a watch bearing the name Rolex, you have something purpose-built, casual-sport (not always, but usually the dressier you can think about is a Day-Date) and quite simple in terms of complications (to the exception of the Sky-Dweller… but it is one watch in the middle of mainly time-and-date pieces). Yet, in 2014, Rolex revived a name synonymous of elegance and dressed watches: Cellini. Built around a classical and subtle case, this watch already introduced several complications, with all of them being rather practical. But what if The Crown goes where you don’t expect them… into poetical complications. Not very Rolex you’ll admit. Though, this is what you’ll get with the new Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 and it feels very satisfying.
