Junghans Meister – 17 Jewels – Cal. 620.00 – Gold-Plated – Made in Germany – Men’s – 1960s A refined Junghans Meister watch from the 1960s, embodying the best of Germany’s Bauhaus-influenced horological tradition. Junghans is Germany’s most celebrated watchmaker — founded in 1861 in Schramberg, Black Forest — and was once the largest clock manufacturer in the world. Today, their modern Meister collection commands prices well above €1,000, making their vintage hand-wound pieces one of the most compelling entry points into serious German watchmaking. The champagne dial has developed a beautiful and sought-after tropical patina — the gentle freckled oxidation across the surface that collectors prize as a unique fingerprint of time. No two tropical dials are alike, and this one has matured gracefully. The applied squared gold indices catch the light with architectural precision, and the elegant dauphine hands in matching gold complete a dial layout that whispers understated sophistication. At 33.5mm, this watch is true to the proportions that defined the golden era of German dress watches — designed to slip discreetly under a shirt cuff, as a proper dress watch should. Powered by the Junghans caliber 620.00 — a 17-jewel hand-wound movement with lever escapement, German Made. The movement features attractive linear brushing on the bridges and is running well. This is a proper horological caliber, not a pin-lever economy movement, and it shows in the finishing. The gold-plated case shows honest wear on the lugs where the base metal has come through — a patina that matches and complements the dial’s own aged character. The stainless steel caseback is clean and marked Shockproof and Waterproof. Presented on a black leather strap with croc embossing.
