Heir to the Father of Danish Watchmaking
Rich Fordon, writing for Hodinkee, takes a look back at the father and son brands, Urban Jürgensen and Jules Jürgensen, and hints at the future with Kari Voutilainen as CEO of Urban Jürgensen.
Interesting to note that Voutilainen assisted in completing Derek Pratt's oval pocket watch for Urban Jürgensen in 2006. Pratt crafted 34 timepieces for the company, all of which were pocket watches, prior to his passing in 2009.
