This model corresponds to the first mechanical series produced by Georg Jensen in the early 1970s, before the introduction of quartz versions.

It is powered by a Swiss mechanical hand-wound movement, whose rapid and regular ticking testifies to the fineness of its manufacture.

The watch is hand-wound and operates with remarkable accuracy.

The Torun design (number 227) – a sculptural watch stripped of all ornamentation – embodies the philosophy of Danish design in the 1960s, based on the purity of lines and the harmony between jewelry and function.

This piece is preserved in absolutely remarkable condition: no dents, no scratches, perfect working order.

The presence of the original Georg Jensen box further enhances its appeal to collectors or design enthusiasts.

Vintage mechanical versions are extremely rare on the market, with most known examples being quartz or in average condition.
