Jurgensen Dynasty: Four Centuries of Watchmaking in Two Countries Hardback

Description

The Jurgensen Dynasty represents four generations of extraordinary watchmakers working in two countries: Denmark and Switzerland.

Urban Jurgensen (1776-1830) is perhaps the most renowned member of the family.

He was among the most innovative personalities of the Danish Golden Age and internationally one of the most prominent watchmakers of his time.

His contributions to the development of horology were significant and he was one of the first watchmakers and inventors to be recognised by the scientific establishment with his innovations in technology and science earning him a place in the Royal Danish Academy of science.

In this manner, the book presents a broader cultural aspect of Danish history than the title at first suggests.

It is a document of the art of watch-making, as it is still exercised by the continuing production of Urban Jurgensen & Sonner timepieces today.
