„Great things only come to be with great passion.“
The Junghans story is the story of its founders, its products, its innovations and importantly, its values. After 150 eventful years, we are now taking a look back as well as a look ahead. We asked ourselves what it is that makes Junghans so special even about 150 years and we found the answer to our question. Everything that has always been associated with the Junghans name still applies 100 percent – whether quality, dependability, passion or flawless precision. The watchmaking company from Schramberg with its long-standing tradition has been committed to Germany and to its “made in Germany” quality seal over the last 150 years. With new technologies and innovations that are respected all over the world. With a conscious decision to still refer to itself as a “watch factory with state-of-the-art national and international business structures. “Junghans – the German watch” is much more than a simple statement. It has come to symbolize one of Germany’s most fascinating enterprises.
