Though the brand has experienced several transformations over its long history, it is now primarily known for its exceptional wristwatches. For collectors of fine timepieces, the name Derek Pratt is synonymous with artistry—his dials remain among the most visually stunning and technically impressive ever created. Pratt masterfully blended traditional techniques like engine-turning and hand-finishing with modern proportions and design sensibilities, producing dials that were well-balanced as they were beautiful. With Peter Baumberger at the helm as CEO, the brand's commitment to perfection ensured that every piece that left the atelier met the highest standards of craftsmanship., After 252 years of rich history, Urban Jürgensen has entered a new era under the leadership of Finnish/Swiss watchmaking virtuoso Kari Voutilainen. His expertise and passion for horology have breathed new life into the brand, reviving it for a new generation of collectors. As a result, Jürgensen's limited-production pieces are now sought after worldwide, their rarity and superior craftsmanship making them prized additions to any collection. With each watch being produced in strictly limited quantities, those who are fortunate enough to acquire one are holding onto a piece of history, made all the more special by the brand's storied past and promising future., This lot is subject to CITES-appendix II and requires a CITES export permit in order to be exported from Denmark to a country outside the EU.
