Jørgen Jürgensen and Isaac Larpent were watchmakers who partnered to establish a watchmaking company in Denmark. In 1773, Jürgensen, a watchmaker, collaborated with Isaac Larpent, leading to the creation of “Larpent & Jürgensen”, which produced around 4.000 watches between 1773 and 1814. This partnership was a significant step in the early development of watchmaking in Denmark.
