JUNGHANS the calendar year of the Junghans Meister
The year 2013 is the year of classic Meister watches at Uhrenfabrik Junghans. The new Meister Kalender and Meister Agenda complications are worthy additions to the successful range of elegant timepieces. With the Meister Chronometer Gold Junghans is also continuing the series of limited edition collector's pieces in real gold. The range is rounded off gracefully with the Meister Damen, a feminine interpretation of the tra-ditional timepieces.
History of the Junghans Meister
Production of the first Meister models in the 1930s heralded the dawn of a new era for Junghans. In addition to their appearance, the Meister watches are characterised by their intricately refined movements. By 1936 the calibre J80 was already equipped with a central second, for example. The finest model was the J80/2 movement, decorated with Côtes de Genève, viewed as the centrepiece of the Meister watches. From 1951 the Meister models also benefited from the J82 chronome-ter movement with its unusually large screw balance, which was per-fected continuously until its production ceased in 1960, having been fitted to thousands of officially tested chronometers. The current Meis-ter range stands once again for the mechanical expertise in watchmak-ing at Junghans, further underscored by the "Made in Germany" seal of quality.
