Larpent & Jürgensen empire key wind pocket watch in a silver case chased with Adam & Eve in Paradise, white dial with Arabic numerals and key wind, signed Larpent & Jürgensen, Kiöbenhavn, gilt movement signed Larpent & Jürgensen, Kiöbenhavn. 1800–1815. Case diam. 55 mm.
Jürgen Jürgensen (1748–1811) and the better established watchmaker Isaac Larpent (1711–1788) became partners around 1773. In 1775 they received royal license to run a clockmaking factory.
The watch works, but we do not guarantee for the functionality. Key is not enclosed. Dial with a few haircracks, minor chips around key wind. Wear due to age and use.
