Junghans history:
JUNGHANS – THE GERMAN WATCH
For more than 150 years, the Junghans brand has been standing for a clear identification with Germany. Shaped by its long traditions, innovations and values, the name Junghans has always been associated with quality, reliability, passion and precision. During its extensive history, the Schramberg-based long-established company has successfully shaped the history of the watch industry and preserved its philosophy through new and ongoing developments in technology and through combining forward-thinking ideas with a drive for precision. Modern national and international business structures enable Uhrenfabrik Junghans to continue presenting innovative ‘Made in Germany’ products in the future and to further developing the unique success story of the watch with the star.
TRADITION AND MODERNITY GO HAND-IN-HAND
The Junghans company was founded by Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler in Schramberg in 1861. Until today, the original site remained the company’s headquarter. Since the very beginning, Junghans has always been standing for precision and top- quality manufacturing. While the company initially specialised in the production of individual components for clock-making, Junghans began constructing and producing its own clocks in 1866. The registration of the Junghans trademark, the 8-point star, in 1890 marked the start of an era of patents and procedures which provided the company with significant advantages regarding quality and manufacturing: Junghans clocks became globally popular timepieces which were accessible to all. Junghans was already employing 3,000 workers in 1903 and selling 3 million clocks per year, making it the biggest clock factory in the world. When it comes to mechanical watches, the 1930s were of great significance. The first models from the legendary ‘Meister’ range were produced during this time and were deemed to be the finest watches the company had ever made. The 1950s also played a key role in the company’s long history. It was during this time that Junghans established itself as Germany’s biggest manufacturer of chronometers. ‘Uhrenfabriken Gebrüder Junghans A.G.’ set new standards in watch-making when it marked the company’s 100 year anniversary in 1961: Each day, 6,000 employees produced 5,000 wrist watches, more than 10,000 alarm clocks and 5,000 kitchen and living room clocks which were exported from Schramberg to a total of 100 countries.
