The new Ascent series from JACOB JENSEN™ raises the bar in terms of fashion-forward contemporary watch designs. The series unmistakably expresses the distinctive aesthetics of Jacob Jensen Design with its striking slim design and the introduction of stainless steel mesh bracelets.
The Linear series is the latest men’s collection of timepieces exhibiting the familiar, ultramodern JACOB JENSEN™ design signature. As the name suggests, its aesthetic is based on a series of perfectly proportioned lines and linear markings that results in this avant-garde series of timepieces.
The award-winning Strata watch collection is designed to accommodate the flexibility of daily living. The easy changeable leather strap is clearly visible on the side of the case which gives the watch a distinctive aesthetic expression. Combining classic design, functionality and high-quality materials the Strata watch is an iconic timepieces created by the Jacob Jensen Design Studio.
The design of the JACOB JENSEN New Series has been revisited three times since its release in 1995, resulting in some subtle yet significant changes to its design. The inner face of the watch has got a vertical dropped groove, which extenuates its three dimensional quality. It amplifies the illusion of the strap flowing seamlessly around the watch face.
The updated models are available in 39 mm, 35 mm and 29 mm watchcases.
As always, the choice of materials is central to JACOB JENSEN™. The choices for this series focused on contrasts between polished and matt steel, a leather strap with inlaid rubber and a sapphire crystal lens. The dominant design feature is the harmonious and smooth transition from the watch case to the strap, and the characteristic cross that features on the dial, the crown and the clasp.
Based on the philosophy which for decades has made the design studio behind it, The Danish Jacob Jensen Design, recognized and respected all over the world. Everything superfluous has been removed, and what remain are the pure lines, the material, and the functionality supported by sublime technical quality.
The JACOB JENSEN™ Curve series is a clear, bold design with a single strap running seamlessly through the watch case. There are no numerals or indices; the design simply features a rotating disc that indicates the minutes while a single hand shows the hours and a crown to the side adjusts the time.
In 1985, Timothy Jacob Jensen designed two wristwatches in collaboration with the Danish watch manufacturer Max René. The watches were made of titanium with a soft silicon treatment on the strap and a lens made of sapphire crystal. The silver and black dial of the watches created an association with the daily cycle of night and day and light and dark.
In 1986, the Museum of Modern Art in New York included the watches in its Design Study Collection. They were the first products marketed under the trademark of JACOB JENSEN.
»The chronograph was introduced as a wristwatch in 1910. Since then, the design hasn’t radically changed.«
»Most chronographs made through history are more or less variations on the same theme: The more numbers, divisions and details, the better! But one should not forget that a watch is both an article for everyday use and an ornament. Therefore we decided to create a different chronograph. A watch, which is simple and beautiful, regardless of time and place, but which at the same time meets most of the demands made on chronographs. I think that the result speaks for itself,«
