Junghans was founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans who began creating their first clocks in 1866. The brand is characterised by its skilled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The timepieces that Junghans create are inspired by both history and tradition. The final product is a work of art that has undergone inspection to make sure that each timepiece is produced to the highest standard.

Many of the Max Bill timepieces created today are inspired by designs that Junghans produced back in 1961 by artist and architect, Max Bill. The Max Bill collection boasts a historical charm with timepieces often crafted to celebrate architecture. The overall style of this collection combines minimalist style with maximal function; suited to those seeking an accessory that is accurate, detailed and represents true craftsmanship.
