The holiday season is upon us, bringing the joyous task of finding the perfect gift for your loved ones.
For those who value craftsmanship, elegance, and practicality, a Junghans watch is a timeless choice that transcends trends. Founded in 1861 in Germany’s Black Forest, Junghans has masterfully blended tradition with innovation, earning a reputation for impeccable engineering and minimalist beauty.
Max Bill Damen
This watch is a statement. The new max bill Damen arrives in shiny gold tones combined with the vivid white of a beautifully utilitarian dial. It simultaneously represents under-statement, clean design, and high functionality. And this is entirely in line with the ideals of Bauhaus student and legendary designer Max Bill, who laid the cornerstone for the puristic watch line with his creations in 1961.
The max bill Damen offers the rare combination of beauty and practical value in a premium, feminine way in three new styles. All three are winning beauties with shiny white dials and a flat, thin case in an understated size of just about 33 mm. Women who love straightforward classics choose the stainless-steel model. In a warmer gold tone, the watch offers grander style and is available with either a leather strap or a gold-colored Milanaise mesh strap. Thanks to a quick-release system, the strap and bracelet can be changed in a jiffy to better match the day’s outfit.
The max bill Damen’s technical features retain functionality and practicality in daily wear. The quartz movement always takes care of the precise display of time, which is easily read through an antireflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The modest date display delivers an additional function for the stylish and modern woman.
With the new max bill Damen, Junghans has once again perfectly implemented Max Bill’s own maxim: “it is our collective task to make these objects so that they serve people in the best, longest, and most beautiful way.”
Pilot Chronoscope
The new Junghans Pilot Chronoscope is a truly vibrant apparition with its high-polished stainless-steel case and matching rotating ring. And its sibling shines with a classic green dial and a more matte satin-finished stainless-steel case. These watches breathe history as Junghans looks back on a long tradition of pilot’s watches – one in which the wristwatch for pilots is without a doubt a milestone: Junghans developed and made this wristwatch in the mid-1950s as a commission for the freshly established German army. It has of course become legendary – and a role model for modern pilot’s watches made in Schramberg. The so-called Bundeswehr (“army”) chronograph is the root origin of the Pilot model family and the inspiration for the two new variations of the Pilot Chronoscope. These are not just suitable for wear in the cockpit, either, but also for a relaxing flight in business class.
As seen on the historical model, the bilaterally rotating bezel with 12 concave recesses allows precise adjustments even with gloves and helps with timing both in the air and on the ground. Not to mention the stop functions. Automatic movement J880 with up to 42 hours of power reserve is responsible for this. And referencing the historically evolved connection between Junghans and aviation, both variations of this watch carry the historical logo on their dials. The stainless-steel cases are water resistant to 10 bar and the dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is antireflective on both sides, making the Pilot a reliable companion in the cockpit or a business class seat.
This holiday, give the gift of time with Junghans—a gift that truly lasts forever.
