time kept and spent
beautifully

It is the Urban Jürgensen philosophy that the way we keep time inspires how we spend it. In our Time Well Spent series, we look at what it means to use and spend time with passion, interest, joy, and meaning.

James Whiteside, Principal Dancer of the American Ballet Theatre, recalls once crafting a lyrical pas de deux set to the undulating melody of “To Be Sung on the Water” by Franz Schubert.

Jake Clark, the Australian-born, New-York based ceramicist, reflects on what time well spent means to him.

Sienna Spiro, the 19-year old singer-songwriter from London – who music industry legends like Elton John believe is poised for stardom – caught up with us at the Chateau Marmont after her performance at Urban Jürgensen’s Skäl and Fejre relaunch event. She shared with us what time well spent means to her.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the talented Danish actor best known for his role as Jaime Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones, reflects on what time well spent means to him.

Self taught and spiritually driven, LA based artist Wes Lang does not simply observe time – he claims it, shaping it through his intentional daily rituals and time with his family. This fills his life with meaning and allows him to create narrative-driven works that speak to his interest and internal life.

Leon Bridges makes genre-defying music, rooted in soul and guided by reflection. From his earliest days in bars across Fort Worth to the global stage, he transforms memories, faith, and heritage into sound – bringing together rhythm and vocals, his music is a celebration of time itself.

One of the most important living painters, Ed Ruscha, has spent his career building a distinct and groundbreaking visual language.

An actor, writer, director, and producer, Rashida Jones has built a life defined by curiosity, intention, and growth. Across every chapter, she chooses learning over certainty and expansion over ease. A student for life, she spends her time growing.

Time has moved fast for Flynn McGarry, the 27-year-old wunderkind chef whose career has unfolded rapidly. Shaped by early discovery, sustained dedication, and most importantly, extreme talent, he approaches food and space with intention, creating experiences meant to last. For him, time well spent extends beyond the kitchen into a devotion to antiquing, woodworking, and the art of making. His passion for life shapes how he inhabits every moment.
