Delivered with a copy of the original worksheet confirming the total cost of Fr. 640.60 for the present watch.

According to the records of the Musée de l'Horlogerie du Locle, it is the fifth watch of a series of only six examples of this type manufactured by Jürgensen in the mid 1870s.

Jules Jürgensen (1808-1877), a renowned watchmaker and son of the famous Urban Jürgensen, signed his watches "Copenhagen" although he in reality worked in Le Locle, a centre of watchmaking in the Canton of Neuchâtel.

His numerous patents contain the famous bow setting mechanism as featured on the present watch, patented in 1867. It is engaged by moving the bow towards the dial, allowing to set the hands.
