Daniel Ekegrén (born in 1795 in Karlskrona) probably became a master in 1821. He was a pupil of Urban Juergensen. His son Henri Robert Ekegrén (1823-1896), the famous Danish maker of watches and chronometers at the Royal Court worked for Urban Juergensen, Henry Golay, Joseph-Thaddeus Winnerl and Adolph Lange before eventually opening his own workshop in Geneva. Ekegrén won several gold medals at different Great Exhibitions and was also a repeated winner of the chronometer trials in Geneva.
