The dial features this mellow tone with striking numerals and an impressive day-date display, not only practical but executed flawlessly. The case at 40.5mm wears perfectly on the wrist thanks to the short lugs coming in at only 44.5mm lug to lug. I would not hesitate to add this to your collection today, especially at this price!

Junghans was founded in Schramberg, Germany, by Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler in 1861. Originally named Junghans and Tobler, their first watches were produced in 1866. Shortly afterwards, Ernard passed away, leaving the company to his wife and his two sons, Erhard Jr and Arthur Junghans. Arthur spent a lot of time in America, taking inspiration from there. The famous Junghans star Trademark started life as a 5-point star in 1888, then it was changed to an 8-point star in 1890. In 1903, Junghans was the world's largest watch factory, producing an incredible 3 million watches a year. By 1930, they were producing their movements. In 1956, they were taken over by the Diehl Group, producing in collaboration with the Swiss artist Max Bill, watches and wall clocks. During the Quartz revolution of the 1970s, they produced the first German quartz wristwatch, the Astro-Quartz. Innovation has always been Junghans' strength. In 2000, Junghans was taken over a second time by EganaGoldpfeil Holding. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out well and in 2008, the company was sold to Hans Jochem Steim, a freeman of the city of Schramberg and his son Hannes Steim, after the mayor of Schramberg asked if they would be interested in saving Junghans. The brand was split into two collections, Junghans and Max Bill. In 2011, they celebrated their 150th Anniversary.
