A friend asked me to see if I could find any information about a Jules Jurgensen watch that was given to his great-grandfather as a retirement gift.



It appears to me to be from the 40s or 50s, but I'm just guessing. The caseback and outer box say that it is 14k gold. It's a two hand watch.



End panel of box:



The watch is on a hideous Speidel Twistoflex band, but the layout of the presentation box says that it was originally on leather.





Any information will be gratefully accepted and passed along. Thanks.

My copy of Cooksey Shugart lists a very similar Jules Jurgensen. The only difference appears to be the shape of the dial markers and the presence on the Shugart watch of a second hand. It's described as 14K gold, 17 jewel movement, ca. 1960, a low value of $150, a high value of $225. My copy of Cooksey Shugart is about ten years old, so take those valuations with a grain of salt.

Thanks, Jeff. I'll let him know what you found.
