    Any Junghans fans out there?

    I have been collecting there stopwatches for about 50 years. Keep meaning to stop. But when ever I check the prices, I see another one I fancy. Then I usually end up buying it.

    Currently looking at there wrist watches. But can’t decide if I like them enough to own one.

    Picture of some of the stopwatches.

    I had the Max Bill auto at 38mm. If I had my time again, I would go for the manual at 34mm. The auto always felt like it was perched on the wrist, I should have gone with the original's dimensions.

    Mega Solar Ceramic looks interesting. Looking at prices and availability.

    I've had a couple over the years. Probably the best 'vintage looking' watches on the market. Unfortunately they have very low resale value. The Junghans Meister Pilot case is a work of art but it is let down by the modular movement.

    I've got a Max Bill manual wind in 34mm and it's the only watch I've worn for about 6 months. The design is standing the test of time. I neither dive, race cars, explore outer space or fly planes - it really is all the watch I need and it does its job so stylishly.

    Mega Solar Ceramic here. Had it a few years and still looks brand new.

    Apart from the bracelet of course. Bought new inserts but that turned into an epic fail.

    Definitely a fan

    And I especially like the military models from the late 50s. Here’s my 88/0110 which seems to be one of the first thirty trialed by the Bundeswehr. The cal. 88 is a great movement.
