Jurgensen Dynasty: Four Centuries of Watchmaking in Two Countries (Hardcover)

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.
