Junghans MEGA Solar watch

Junghans is a quintessential German watchmaking brand, founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans in Schramberg, Germany. The brand quickly rose to prominence, becoming the world's largest clock manufacturer by 1903. Throughout the 20th century, Junghans became synonymous with precision and innovation, famously collaborating with Bauhaus designer Max Bill in the 1950s and 1960s to create iconic, minimalist timepieces that remain design staples today.

The MEGA Solar line showcases the brand's commitment to high-tech horology, combining solar-powered energy with radio-controlled precision technology. The manufacturing traditionally takes place at the company's historic site in Schramberg, maintaining the 'Made in Germany' label that signifies quality and engineering excellence.

Following a period of financial restructuring in the late 2000s, the brand was acquired by local entrepreneurs Dr. Hans-Jochem Steim and Hannes Steim in 2009. This acquisition returned the brand to its roots as a family-owned German enterprise, ensuring its legacy of combining classic design with modern technological advancements continues into the 2026 era and beyond.
