6036 - The Jürgensen Dynasty
KNUDSEN John M.R.Four centuries of watchmaking in two centuries. The most well-known Danish watchmakers history. The book about Urban Jürgensen is not simply a biography of the world-renowned Danish cultural figure: it is also a work concerned with the technology and culture of the period in which Danish sovereignty and identity was in danger of succumbing to the maelstrom created by the Napoleonic wars (Empire), and as such it also presents a broader cultural aspect of Danish history than the title suggests. This present edition, for the first time in English covers 368 pages with more than 560 pictures, the majority of which are in full color and all of which are of great importance to the history of timekeeping and horology. Hardcover under jacket.
