Danish watches: the makers to know

The Danish watch known abroad is a piece of jewellery first. In 1962 the Swedish silversmith Torun designed a stainless steel bangle watch for an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and it became the first wristwatch made by Georg Jensen, the Copenhagen silversmithy. Georg Jensen still makes the Torun bangle watch, with a mirror dial or a hidden heart on the dial.
