The Urban Jurgensen 1140 is a manual-wind dress watch with enamel or guilloché dial and Roman numeral hour markers. It carries the same high finishing standard as the rest of the UJ line. Authentication concerns are the same as the P8: condition misrepresentation and provenance verification.
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| dial | Enamel dial authenticity | Grand feu enamel has depth and translucency that changes slightly when tilted under light; the surface is slightly convex; color is consistent across the entire dial surface | Flat, printed appearance; no translucency or depth; color variation across the dial surface; any chips or hairline cracks suggesting mishandled enamel |
| dial | Roman numeral precision | Roman numerals are printed with perfectly consistent stroke weight and spacing; they sit evenly at the correct radial position | Any uneven spacing or inconsistent stroke weight; numerals that appear slightly tilted or shifted from their correct position |
Reference 1140 is the 38mm manual-wind dress piece from Urban Jürgensen. Smaller and more refined than the P8, it carries the same movement finishing standard.
| movement | Cal. 7 finishing standard | Hand-finished movement with anglage, straight-grained bridges, and perlage on plates; blued screws are standard | Machine-regular finishing; rounded edges on bridges; un-blued or non-matching screws |
| case | Case metal and hallmarks | Gold or platinum with correct purity marks; case proportions consistent with 38mm reference | Missing hallmarks; weight inconsistent with declared metal; case dimensions inconsistent with the 38mm reference specification |
