Junghans watches

Junghans was founded in 1861 in Schramberg, in the Black Forest, by Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler. By 1903 it was the largest watch and clock factory in the world. It began making wristwatches in 1927.

The Swiss architect and designer Max Bill, trained at the Bauhaus, created his first watch for Junghans in 1961, and the max bill line remains in production. Junghans makes radio-controlled and solar watches; its MEGA 1 of 1990 was an early radio-controlled wristwatch. Current collections include max bill, Meister, Form, 1972, Pilot and Radio Control & Solar.
