In 1948 he was accepted into the furniture design department at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he studied modern design with Kaare Klint and Hans Wegner. After the Royal Academy, he specialized in industrial design. After a period as an employed designer, Jensen decided to set up his own design studio in 1958. He created designs for General Electric and Bang & Olufsen, among others, and was chief designer at Gaggenau Hausgeräte. Between 1959 and 1961, Jensen held an assistant professorship in industrial design at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His son Timothy Jacob Jensen has continued to run his design company since the early 1990s.

FAQs about Jacob Jensen watches
1. Are Jacob Jensen watches waterproof?
Jacob Jensen wristwatches are usually waterproof up to a test pressure of 3 bar, some models are waterproof up to 5 bar. Please note that when swimming or under a direct jet of water (e.g. when showering), significantly higher pressure peaks can occur. The watch is then subjected to significantly greater pressure in the affected areas than the immersion depth would suggest. Showering or swimming is therefore usually only recommended from a test pressure of 10 bar or higher.
2. What does the often read abbreviation MAYA mean on Jacob Jensen watches?
The MAYA formula goes back to the legendary industrial designer Raymond Loewy. In connection with the design of Jacob Jensen wristwatches, the so-called MAYA principle (MAYA = Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable) means that their design should be as novel and original as possible, while at the same time remaining acceptable and therefore attractive to the tastes of as many people as possible. Jacob Jensen watches are the perfect implementation of the MAYA principle: in their virtuosic simplicity they are timelessly beautiful and elegant.
