You probably know the name Urban Jürgensen, one of the greatest #watchmakers of the 19th century. But wait until you hear about his little brother Jörgen Jörgensen (1780–1845), the "Dog Days King" who executed a coup and took over #Iceland!

watchmakers
#introduction I am known in #horology circles as “the one who knows all about obscure historic #watchmakers” and this is indeed my focus. I write my own site, https://Grail-Watch.com, as well as https://Watch-Wiki.net, and for Europa Star. I am also the host of The #Watch Files podcast and am hard at work on a new season.
I majored in Society and Technology Studies with a focus on urban planning and also run a tech media company. Find me at @sfoskett for aspects of my life unrelated to #watches
