High Grade Jules Jurgensen K/W Watch :

Description: Jules Jurgensen High grade K/W movement A Necessary History Of Early Jürgensen WatchmakingThe story starts with Jørgen Jürgensen, an early Danish watchmaker, in 1773. To give a sense of what Danish watchmaking looked like in the late 1700s, around 20 craftsmen were registered to the trade in Copenhagen. Before Jørgen received Royal support for his business in 1781, the majority of watches in Denmark were imported and of low quality. He successfully made the case over many years that with the government's support, he could create a true domestic industry. As a result, Jørgen can be described as the father of Danish watchmaking. He trained apprentices and was given the right to run a manufacturer. This right was even extended to his sons... "if they possessed the necessary competence for the task." Jørgen's eldest son, Urban Jürgensen, proved to possess more than the necessary competence. Born in 1776, Urban was incredibly intelligent, leaving Copenhagen at the age of 21 after Jørgen decided he had learned all that he could in his home country. His travels brought him to Le Locle, studying under Jacques-Frédéric Houriet; to Paris, to learn from Abraham-Louis Breguet and Ferdinand Berthoud; and then to London, apprenticing for John Arnold and John Brockbank.
