JULES JURGENSEN HISTORY

Jules Jurgensen has a history that dates back to the early 1700’s.   It is one of the very oldest continuous watch companies in existence today with a heritage that extends to Denmark, France and finally Switzerland, the capital of watch making world in the 18th and 19th centuries.   Each of the Jurgensen family, in succession, were schooled and served apprenticeships under the finest watchmakers of the day.   The Jurgensen family reputation is built on fine quality and innovative concepts.   Jules Jurgensen watches and the Jurgensen families have received many international awards and acknowledgements through out the decades with notoriety such as the official watchmakers to the Royal Navy.  The imperial crown logo on each and every Jules Jurgensen watch predates the crown you see on other prestigious watches currently being sold in the industry.   Both Jules and Urban Jurgensen were knighted by the King of Denmark who recognized their extraordinary skills and made each of them, respectfully, the official watchmakers to the King.  Their reputation soon spread rapidly around the world.  Jules Jurgensen watches have been presented by presidents and kings as gifts of distinction to visiting dignitaries.   President Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented the doctor who helped save his life with a Jules Jurgensen watch. On more than one occasion, the white house security staff was presented Jules Jurgensen watches by the President.   

Our collection today continues in the family tradition of quality and creativity.   We make approximately 400 different models and we are introducing many new ones each year.    Our collection runs from the traditional to the very contemporary, from ultra elegant to the highest fashion.   We work in several metals including stainless steel, silver and 14K gold.   We use genuine diamonds and many varieties of precious and semi-precious stones.

As Mr. Morton Clayman has stated, the owner of Jules Jurgensen since the 1970’s, in today’s competitive market it is our customer’s advantage that Jules Jurgensen has retained the history, tradition and skills that have been passed down through generations.    We still proudly assemble many of our watches by hand and within the province of the United States of America.   Jules Jurgensen is often referred to throughout the industry as “The Jewelers Brand”, this due to the commitment and fulfillment to the product needs and services of satisfied customers and retail jewelers across the globe.
