Jules Jürgensen is one of the oldest and the most widely known watch companies in the world. It was founded in Denmark in 1740 by Jules Jürgensen and Isaac Larpent. At first the company was named Larpent & Jürgensen, but after Jules' death in 1811 his younger son Frederik took over the company and renamed it Frederik Jürgensen. At the same time Jules' elder son created his own brand, called Urban Jürgensen, which produced exclusive watches. After Urban Jürgensen company founder's death, his younger son moved to Switzerland, where he founded his own  Jules Jürgensen Copenhagen company in 1830, and the elder son, Louis, continued his father's business in Denmark. Nowadays, the company, founded in Denmark, is called Urban Jürgensens & Sønner and is one of exclusive high quality wrist watches producers.
