Among the most captivating examples of early 20th-century horological artistry, this exceptional Jules Jürgensen pocket watch, crafted around 1920s, is a confluence of Danish heritage, Swiss precision, and decorative exuberance. Cased in luminous 18K yellow gold and fully enveloped in a mesmerizing royal blue translucent enamel, the watch evokes a hypnotic depth through finely rendered guilloché waves radiating from its center. The deep tones shift with the light—an effect only possible with painstaking layering and firing of enamel over engine-turned gold. White enamel accents, paired with black Breguet numerals and gold hands, complete a dial that balances elegance and theatricality with faultless proportion. The movement, visible beneath a dust cover, is no less impressive, with traditional architecture and finishing that rivals the finest Geneva workshops of the time. Founded in 1740, Jules Jürgensen is among the oldest and most storied names in horology. This piece, produced during the firm’s Golay period before its 1925 acquisition by Heuer, represents the brand at its creative zenith and it is an object of true connoisseurship.
