Founded in 1861 in Schramberg, Germany, by Erhard Junghans and Jakob Zeller-Tobler, Junghans began as a clock-parts workshop before evolving into one of the world’s largest watch and clock factories by the early 20th century. The brand is celebrated for its deep horological heritage and its defining Bauhaus-linked design language, which prioritizes clean dials, slim proportions, and highly legible layouts. Junghans is best known for its iconic Max Bill collection, born from a late-1950s collaboration with the Swiss artist and architect, which remains a masterclass in minimalist, functionalist design.
