Junghans was founded in the Black Forest town of Schramberg, Germany, in 1861, where its watches are still produced today. In 1956, artist and Bauhaus pupil Max Bill designed the Max Bill kitchen wall clock, and its logical dial layout was incorporated into the design of the first wristwatches he created for Junghans in 1961.

Placing importance on utility and beauty, Junghans Max Bill watches have become classics, and they are still produced today, largely unchanged from the original models. The latest version is available in automatic (38mm), quartz (38mm) and women’s (32.7mm) variations, each with matt, silver-plated dials in a soft grey finish, and dial and hand markings with environmentally friendly Superluminova.
