Urban Jürgensen
The collaboration between Urban Jürgensen and Chronode to create the Chronometer Detent Escapement P8 marked a significant advancement in the world of watchmaking. This collaboration made it possible to achieve an unprecedented technical feat: the integration of the first detent escapement into a certified wristwatch.
The detent escapement, born from the competition between the greatest marine timekeepers at the end of the 18th century, was renowned for its sensitivity to shocks and considered inapplicable to wristwatches. However, the engineers at Urban Jürgensen and Chronode rose to this challenge brilliantly, achieving a world first by integrating this subtle mechanism into the UJS08 caliber.
This collaboration resulted in the creation of a watch of exceptional precision, combining watchmaking tradition and technological innovation. The Chronometer Detent Escapement P8 embodies the successful marriage between the heritage of fine watchmaking and the most cutting-edge technological advances, opening new perspectives for the future of precision watchmaking.
