Urban Jurgensen (1776-1830) studied horology in Denmark with his father and then spent time at Le Locle in Switzerland, Paris and London to perfect his skills as a clock and chronometer maker. Urban Jurgensen worked with Abraham-Louis Breguet, Ferdinand and Pierre-Louis Berthoud and John Arnold. His company was paid by the Royal Danish government to start the Danish marine chronometer industry for the country's navy. Over the years, Jurgensen watches have earned more than 30 international awards for design and quality workmanship.
