Jules Jurgensen Estd. 1740
More actions
The Jules Jurgensen Estd. 1740 is the exact dress watch Jessica Paré wore as Megan Draper in Mad Men. Christie's cataloged it after production as case no. J16052, circa 1960: a 37 mm 14-karat white-gold watch with a black gloss dial, applied baton markers, a triple-stepped diamond-set bezel, downturned lugs, and a signed 17-jewel mechanical movement stamped JXJ and numbered T67'836. The lot came from watch supplier Derek Dier with his letter of authenticity and a second signed letter from the series' property master, Ellen Freund. (Christie's) The dial's "Estd. 1740" text is a heritage marking tracing to the Danish Jürgensen watchmaking dynasty, not a model number or production date. (Hodinkee) Italian Watch Spotter and Dier's own account independently describe the white-gold, diamond-bezel selection made to convey Megan's youth and modernity.
