The Watch
Here we have a modern 2024 Junghans Meister Fein Automatic 27/4154.00. It has a curvaceous polished 39.5mm stainless steel convex case, sculpted lugs comfortably sit on your wrist and lead to a lug-to-lug length of 38.5mm and a case thickness of 10mm, giving the watch a vintage aesthetic. On the right side a coin-edged crown. A thin, smooth convex bezel holds a high domed sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides above a striking Galvanic black sunburst dial. Thin polished indices mark the hours; at 3 o’clock, a colour-matched date window and polished stick hands are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand; at noon, we have the Junghans motif and “Automatic” printed underneath, completing this Bauhaus design-infused minimalist dress watch. On the reverse, a mineral crystal screwed-down exhibition case back with the details of the watch around its edge, inside an automatic J800.1, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this quality movement is based on the workhorse ETA 2824-2 and is attractively decorated with blue screws and a signed rotor. The watch comes paired with its original Junghans 21mm leather strap secured by a signed pin buckle and comes with its Junghans presentation box and unsigned paperwork.
Personal Note
This Junghans Meister Fein Automatic in 39.5mm featuring a deep black dial is the perfect example of what Junghans and the Bauhaus movement got so spot on, clean and simple design. It is a tough one to capture but when you have it on your wrist and catch the light, it pops. I would not hesitate to add this to your collection today!
The Brand
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 own movements. In 1956, they were taken over by the Diehl Group, producing watches and wall clocks in collaboration with the Swiss artist Max Bill. 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 for the 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.
