In 1811-1843 Frederik Jürgensen made only about 500 pocket watches. The earliest noted and in the literature mentioned pocket watch of his production was numbered 4049 (see Knudsen: The Jürgensen Dynasty, page 68). Since the present watch is still without a number, it can be assumed that it comes from the first year of production.
Signed: Frederik Jürgensen
