Story & Heritage Founded in 1861 in Schramberg, Germany, Junghans became one of the most respected names in German horology, renowned for combining precision engineering, functional design and accessible elegance. Throughout the twentieth century, the company played an important role in the development of mechanical timekeeping and became one of Europe's leading watch manufacturers. During the 1950s, Junghans produced elegant mechanical wristwatches that reflected the refined aesthetics of post-war Europe. Clean dials, slim profiles and reliable hand-wound movements defined an era when a gentleman's watch was both a practical instrument and an expression of personal style. This particular example embodies that heritage through its harmonious Calatrava-inspired design, classic silver-white dial and traditional 17-jewel mechanical movement. The distinctive arrangement of Arabic numerals and baton indexes gives the watch a balanced and recognizable mid-century character. A charming vintage timepiece for collectors of Junghans, German mechanical watches and classic European dress watches. Internal Reference Number: ITM 1145
