The Junghans Meister (Master in German) line dates back to the 1930’s when it was originally developed to demonstrate the brands’ highest technical achievements. Now, the Meister line celebrates the history of the brand through vintage-inspired designs ranging from simple dress watches to calendar complications and chronographs. Throughout the line you will find Junghan’s dedication to clean, restrained design and high-quality finishing.
The new Meister Automatics are refined, yet casual everyday watches with mid-century style. Domed dials in light or dark tones gently fade as they reach the edge of the dial, creating a subtle, but stylish effect. Long lines act as markers contrasting tastefully with broad pointed hands that make reading the time a breeze. Housed in a slender 38mm polished steel cases, these are great everyday watches.
Powering the Meister Automatics is the J800.1 / ETA 2824 movement, a Swiss-made automatic workhorse movement. This caliber features 25-jewels, 38-hour power reserve, date and hacking seconds (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out).

Since 1861, the town of Schramberg, Germany, nestled sleepily in the Black Forest, has been home to one of the greatest names in German watchmaking: Junghans. For over a century and a half, the brand has produced a stunning array of watches and clocks for almost every conceivable application, from egg timers to cockpit clocks for Bf-109 fighter aircraft, but today their collection is comprised mostly of a few lines of clean, design-oriented timepieces.
Junghans’ style trends toward sleek minimalism, with a healthy dose of mid-century style to keep things unique and interesting. This shines through especially well in their Meister Pilot series, with a one of a kind scalloped rotating bezel based on the pilot’s chronographs Junghans supplied to the newly reforming German air force, in the 1950s. The real star of the show for Junghans, however, is the Max Bill series, named after the eponymous Bauhaus designer.
