JULES JURGENSEN, COPENHAGEN. A FINE 18K GOLD OPENFACE SPLIT SECOND...
JULES JURGENSEN, COPENHAGEN. A FINE 18K GOLD OPENFACE SPLIT SECOND POCKET WATCH
Date: c. 1885
Movement: Jeweled manual wind, No. 1346
Dial: White
Case: Round
Signed: Case and movement
Size: 51mm
Accompaniments: None
Jules Jurgensen dates back to 1740, and adopting the company name in the early 1800s. Throughout the company's many iterations over the past few centuries they produced marine chronometers, complicated pocket watches, and into the 20th century produced more elegant, less complicated pieces before delving into mid-century dress watches. The present lot is a fine example of a complicated watch from the second half of the 1800s, and alongside its well crafted movement is a distinctively designed dial with a 1/5 foudroyante and other registers in a triangular setup.
