Zeppelin watches

Posted on 7 August 2021 at 8:13 AM

Who does remember the majestic Zeppelin airships which have played a major role in aviation history? These Zeppelin airships were designed by the aviation pioneer Ferdinand Graff von Zeppelin and still manages to arouse the interest of many enthusiasts today. It is logically that these Zeppelin airships have served as a source of inspiration for the German watch brand Zeppelin. This well-known watch brand is part of the parent company Pointtec, which also includes the much-loved German brand Iron Annie. The brands Iron Annie and Zeppelin are very popular because of the combination of quality, original concept and attractive pricing. 

The Zeppelin watches are classically and traditionally designed and know how to take you back in time. A bit of nostalgia is certainly there. Zeppelin can therefore be called a watch brand with history. Zeppelin emphasizes this once again by the historical dials, specific details and the beautiful leather straps. Zeppelin offers a great diversity in the collection, partly because there is a choice of watches with mechanical, automatic and quartz movements. So no matter where your preference lies in this area, you can find your favorite watch at Zeppelin. What is also striking is that Zeppelin pays more attention to quality and finish, partly because it is a small brand/company. This is certainly reflected in the eye for detail and the beautiful finish of the watches. As far as the timepieces are concerned, Zeppelin uses quality timepieces of Swiss and Japanese origin. This concerns brands such as Sellita, Miyota and Eta.

The Zeppelin collection includes beautiful watches for both men and women. In addition, the brand offers a very good price-quality ratio. Combined with the variation in timepieces and the varied offer in terms of appearance of the watches, this makes Zeppelin attractive to a wide audience. The watches in the collection are divided into several series. A first beautiful series from the collection is the LZ120 Rome series. Within this series we find beautiful men's watches with a calm and classic look. The watch straps of these watches vary in various leather versions, naturally made by hand. In addition to a second hand and date display, these watches also have a beautiful moon phase function. This gives the whole that little bit extra and decorates the dial even more.

The next series from the Zeppelin collection is a series of women's watches, which were specially designed in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Zeppelin. These are the 'Princess of the Sky' watches. These watches have something very special to offer, because it is possible to wear them not only on the wrist, but also around the neck. When designing these watches, they tried to bring back the glamor of the 1920s. As far as we are concerned, this has certainly succeeded. The particularly beautiful dials are a real eye-catcher and both the watch straps and the watch itself are very stylish and graceful. In addition, there is a choice of dials that have a calm appearance and dials that are very expressive. High-quality materials such as stainless steel, extremely strong sapphire glass and particularly beautiful leather have been used for these watches. The watches close with a buckle clasp. In short, Zeppelin has brought a series of watches on the market especially for ladies, which are definitely worth a look, both in terms of quality and appearance.

A third series that we want to pay extra attention to is the Zeppelin Night Cruise series. These watches have a more tough and robust appearance and a sporty approach. In terms of color use, a lot of black has been chosen here, with red and white accents. The watches are water resistant to at least 50 meters and materials such as stainless steel PVD and hardened mineral glass have been used. The use of plastic has been chosen for the watch straps. There are nice extra functionalities such as a second hand, date display and a day display, but also a power reserve indication. These watches close with a buckle clasp.

The above series of watches are of course only a small selection from the Zeppelin collection. There are many more special series of watches to view, such as the Zeppelin Hindenburg series and the Zeppelin 100 years series. In any case, with a Zeppelin watch you are guaranteed a high-quality watch, which is completely made in Germany. Germany is known in this area for the good quality, reliability and solidity of the watches that come from there. In addition, Zeppelin watches are very affordable, so that you can also purchase a quality watch with a more limited budget. Especially if you like a watch with a story, a Zeppelin watch is highly recommended!

A brand that has been active in the watch industry for more than a century and can now be called world famous is the American brand Ingersoll. Ingersoll was founded by the Ingersoll brothers. They wanted to market watches of good quality at an attractive price. In 1892 they bet on an automated production line with which they put a watch on the market for the price of 1 dollar. This so-called 'dollar watch' ensured that the brand became very well known. Ingersoll watches are now indispensable and the real enthusiast certainly knows them.

Over the years, Ingersoll has become very popular and famous. The brand managed to collaborate with well-known names such as Henry Ford and Disney, which allowed them to put themselves even more on the map. To this day, Ingersoll is known for its affordable watches, which in terms of quality are certainly not inferior to the more expensive variants. Ingersoll uses automatic timepieces where the craft of the watchmaker comes into its own. Another strong point of Ingersoll is that the brand has included various designs in the collection, which means that the brand is able to appeal to a wide audience.

Posted on 24 July 2021 at 5:14 PM

If you wear an automatic watch, for example from Rolex, Omega, Breitling or IWC, you know the problem that it stops if you don't wear it. For example if you go on holiday and prefer to leave your beautiful watch at home, or if you have other automatic watches that you also like to wear. Standstill is not good for an automatic watch, especially if it lasts longer. The solution is a watch winder. This watch accessory ensures that one or more automatic watches rotate and thereby obtain and retain energy. This keeps the watches running and shows the correct time and date.

Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches from the Netherlands

Posted on 19 July 2021 at 8:18 AM

Dive watches are always popular. Not only because you can dive with them, but also because they have a tough appearance. They are often sporty and robust watches with a modern look. An additional advantage is that the watches can take a beating. So you can always wear a diving watch. Let's take a look at a nice watch brand that produces beautiful but above all excellent diving watches.

Van Speyk Dutch Diver Blue watch

The high quality of watches of Swiss and German origin are well known. But our own little country also offers watches of sublime quality. The Dutch brand Van Speyk offers reliable and solid watches, which are also stylish and elegant. This watch brand also offers an extremely good price/quality ratio, because Van Speyk watches are affordable. Van Speyk is a still young watch brand and originated from a collaboration of entrepreneurs who could not find exactly what they were looking for in the existing watches.

The name of this special Dutch brand refers to the Dutch hero Lieutenant Jan Carel Josephus van Speyk. As a seafarer, Van Speyk was nicknamed 'terror of the robbers' at the time. When he has to investigate shiploads in Antwerp, it is ambushed by Belgian insurgents. To prevent the ship from falling into their hands, he blew up the ship and was killed. With this, a national hero is born. In short, with a Van Speyk watch you immediately have an impressive piece of history to tell about when you receive a compliment about your watch. This is therefore a nice brand for an enthusiast with a preference for a brand with a history. The brand also stands for the Dutch identity and a piece of Dutch pride.

The Van Speyk collection offers high-quality watches that are made in the Netherlands. Within the collection, Van Speyk offers a wide diversity in terms of application, but certainly also in terms of appearance. We see particularly beautiful pilot watches, special Vitesse watches and very high-quality diving watches. In the latter group we are talking about the Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches, this watch series was introduced by van Speyk in 2015. A good diving watch must of course meet various conditions. This goes a lot further than just having to be waterproof, although that is of course an important condition. In addition, a good diving watch must be sturdy and robust and can take a beating. Furthermore, a screw-down crown and a dial that can be read even in poor visibility are important. The Dutch Diver watches from Van Speyk meet these conditions, and it is not for nothing that they stand out because of their very good specifications.

The Dutch Diver watches from Van Speyk are absolutely very complete and also very attractive from an aesthetic point of view. After all, the eye also wants something. The watch straps of the Dutch Diver watches are made of stainless steel, which gives the watches a tough and robust appearance. In addition, extremely strong sapphire glass is used that is highly resistant to scratches or other damage. In addition, the watches are water resistant up to 200 meters. Different watches have been chosen where the dial and the bezel are executed in various colors. Colors such as black, blue, gray and brown are examples of this. The Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches are equipped with an automatic movement from the Miyota (Citizen) brand, which means that you are guaranteed to have a solid base for your watch. An automatic timepiece will also be preferred by many enthusiasts, since the old craft of the watchmaker is most prominent here. The watch case of the Dutch Diver watches is 12 mm thick and has a diameter of 42 mm.

Furthermore, the Dutch Diver watches offer nice extra functionalities, with an absolute added value. Not only do they feature a seconds hand, date display and luminescent indicators, they also offer a rotating bezel and screw-down crown. With a watch from this series you are therefore assured of a diving watch with a very good water resistance, which can also be consulted in the dark. This complete picture offers a quality watch for the real sports enthusiast, which at the same time also fits very well with another outfit, such as a business outfit. You choose a diving watch with all the trimmings with a Dutch Diver watch from Van Speyk, without having to pay the main price. Highly recommended for every diving and/or snorkelling enthusiast!

The advantages of a good watch box

Posted on 12 July 2021 at 12:41 PM

Every lover of special watches is of course careful with his pride. It is therefore important to choose a good place where you can store your watches neatly, but above all safely. If you have automatic watches in your possession, you can store your watches in a good watch winder, which immediately provides for the energy needs of your watches. If this is not necessary you prefer to keep your pride together in a safe and well-arranged place. Ideally, you should use a nice watch box for this. A good watch box is sturdy and offers protection, but the design and materials are important. For many enthusiasts and/or collectors, a beautiful watch is not just a tool or piece of jewelry. A special watch is often also a kind of status symbol or collector's item. It is therefore very logical that someone with a passion for beautiful watches also places high demands on a watch box. The preference is often for a watch box that is not only safe, but also has a stylish and luxurious appearance. Watch boxes are available in different price ranges and with various capacities. For example, there are watch boxes on the market with space for storing a few watches, but also watch boxes that are suitable for the real collector, with a large capacity.

Benson Black Series watch box

When you are looking for a suitable watch box, it is worth taking a look at the collection of the Benson brand. Benson is a quality brand from Dutch soil that manufactures both high-quality watch winders and high-quality watch boxes in-house. This means that the brand knows how to offer the best quality and finish. In addition, Benson is able to market both the watch winders and the watch boxes in this way at an attractive price, because they can keep costs low. When you look at the Benson collection, it becomes clear that a quality watch box with a stylish look really doesn't have to be expensive.

In the collection of the Benson watch boxes, we find the Benson Leather series, the Benson Orange series and the Benson Black series watch boxes. These different series of watch boxes serve enthusiasts with a diverse personal taste and/or preference. For example, the Benson Orange series offers great options for enthusiasts who love vibrant colors and we see in the Leather series of Benson watch boxes where the watches are always visible, even when the watch box is closed. Within the latter Black Series we find very luxurious watch boxes and there is a choice of watch boxes suitable for 3, 8 or 12 watches. For example, as an enthusiast with a few watches as well as a true collector, you can go for a watch box within the Benson collection. The watch boxes within the Black Series have a very luxurious appearance and are made of particularly beautiful leather and available in the colors black, dark brown, blue and carbon fiber. The plain leather is alternated with leather with a pattern, which gives a playful effect and emphasizes the chic character of the watch boxes. What is also striking about the watch boxes within the Black series is the beautiful finish. This is reflected in the fine stitching and the logo printed in the leather.

The luxury watch boxes within the Black series have a black soft fabric on the inside, for optimal protection against damage such as small scratches.

MeisterSinger watches

Posted on 7 July 2021 at 2:19 PM

The German watch brand MeisterSinger has been around for 20 years now and is a brand with a history. The brand was founded by Manfred Brassler, his goal was to develop an alternative to regular wristwatches. This is how the special design of a watch with a single hand was born. This means that every MeisterSinger watch is immediately recognizable and that the brand puts a clear signature on its designs. Other features of the watches of this brand include the high-quality technology, the strongly curved glass and the unique index. This has made MeisterSinger a well-known watch brand that also offers a very good price/quality ratio. MeisterSinger is comparable to larger watch brands in terms of quality and technology, but at a better price. It may be a smaller brand, but it also pays more attention to quality and finish.

The chic watches from MeisterSinger naturally have their own distinct identity due to the single-hand time display. Yet the brand also manages to create diversity in the collection. They do this because they work with different colors and styles. We see more classic models, but also models with a more sporty look. However, every watch is equally stylish and neatly finished. What is striking is, among other things, the eye for detail and the sublime quality of the watches.

A great example of a classic-looking model from the MeisterSinger collection is the MeisterSinger Circularis CC908LG. This watch is fitted with a particularly beautiful brown crocodile leather watch strap in combination with a classic blue timepiece. The timepiece looks very calm and modest, partly due to the one-hand display. Furthermore, this watch is equipped with a stainless steel watch case with an 18 carat gold bezel. The MeisterSinger Circularis CC908LG watch features the MSA01 automatic movement with a power reserve of no less than 120 hours. The watch is also water resistant to 50 meters and has a date display. This watch closes with a folding clasp.

A second beautiful model from the collection is the MeisterSinger Circularis CC303. This watch also has a classic and traditional approach. The watch is fitted with a dark brown strap made of crocodile leather. The timepiece is beige in color and the hand and numbers are shown in blue, which is a beautiful, stylish combination. The watch case is made of stainless steel. The watch is equipped with the mechanical MSH01 movement and has a 120-hour power reserve. This watch is equipped with strong sapphire glass, which ensures that scratches will not be visible quickly. This watch is water resistant to 50 meters and has a folding clasp.

Another beautiful model from the MeisterSinger collection is the MeisterSinger Salthora Meta X SAMX902GR. This watch has a completely different look than the previous model. This watch has a more sporty and somewhat tougher design. It comes in the color black, this applies to both the watch strap and the timepiece. Green accents have been incorporated on both the timepiece and the watch strap, for a playful effect. This watch is equipped with an automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement which has a 38-hour power reserve. This watch is equipped with extra functionalities, namely a rotating bezel and luminous indicators. The watch is water resistant up to 200 meters and closes with a buckle.

The last watch we would like to mention is the MeisterSinger Scrypto Unitas AM505. This watch again has a somewhat minimalistic appearance, which gives a calm-looking image. The watch strap is made of black leather, the watch case of stainless steel. The timepiece is also black in color and fitted with silver small seconds. This watch is also equipped with a mechanical movement (winding) from Unitas. This timepiece has a 42 hour power reserve. This watch is also water resistant to 30 meters and has a seconds hand and a folding clasp. The understated look of this watch makes it suitable for many different types of outfits.

This is what you need to know about a watch winder

Posted on 3 July 2021 at 8:43 AM

Automatic watches, the purest form of watch technology, have a great appeal to enthusiasts. Watch brands such as Breitling, IWC, Omega, Tag Heuer and Rolex are famous worldwide and produce fantastic watches with an automatic movement. The real watch fan will always have one or more automatic watches in his or her collection.

However, automatic watches also have a disadvantage. They come to a standstill when you are not wearing them. The automatic timepiece needs energy in the form of movement. If the watch is not worn (enough), it will come to a stop. This means that the time, date and any other functions are no longer set correctly. The watch no longer indicates the correct time, causing it to lose its function.

Fortunately, there is an excellent solution for this, namely the use of a watch winder. In a watch winder, the automatic watches are rotated slowly, so that the timepiece in the watch obtains energy. This keeps the watch running, just like you would wear it. A watch winder simulates wearing the watch. Handy, especially if you have several automatic watches that you obviously can't wear all at the same time. But this watch accessory has another important advantage. Namely the preservation of your automatic watches. When an automatic watch stands still for too long, this is not good for the technology of the timepiece. Standing still is literally going backwards. By rotating automatic watches slowly and in a controlled manner in a watch winder, you ensure optimal preservation of the watches.

Watch winders come in all shapes and sizes. There are models for winding 1 automatic watch to models that can wind up to 24 automatic watches. The design can also differ considerably per brand and model. There are classic models but also very modern models. You choose the design based on your preference and taste.

It is important to know about a watch winder that the heart is formed by one or more motors. These motors ensure the rotation of the automatic watches. It is therefore important that these motors are of good quality. This ensures that you will enjoy the watch winder for a long time without problems with the excitement or excessive noise while running. A good motor is characterized by durability and a low sound level. Examples of brands that use excellent motors in their watch winders are the Dutch brand Benson, Swiss Kubik from Switzerland and Paul Design from the United Kingdom. But there are many more brands that use good motors. You can think of brands that use Swiss, German and Japanese motors. We certainly do not prefer brands that use Chinese motors. We know from experience that these cause many problems and often break down. Especially if they are used to wind heavier automatic watches. Our advice is therefore to always choose a watch winder from a reputable brand. Then you opt for certainty and durability.

Another aspect that you should know about a watch winder is that the material used in the case plays a major role in the noise level. Models made of wood absorb sound best. There are also brands that produce plastic or aluminum watch winders. These models may have a modern design and appearance, but the noise level may be slightly higher. Simply because the rotating motors make a slight amount of noise and the sound is absorbed less well in a watch winder made of plastic or aluminum than a watch winder made of wood. However, the differences in noise level are small, but can play a role when you want to put this watch accessory in your bedroom.

When you choose a watch winder for winding automatic watches, it is good to determine what exactly you need. An automatic watch has a certain timepiece that obtains energy in a certain way. This has to do with the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day. For example, there are automatic watches that wind clockwise at 900 TPD, while others wind counter-clockwise at 600 TPD. TPD stands for turns per day. The watch winders in our webshop are all adjustable in direction of rotation and number of TPD, or adjusted in the factory in such a way that they wind 99.9% of all automatic watches. This means you can be sure that your automatic watches are wound safely and without any problems in a watch winder. Regardless of which brand your automatic watch is from, it is wound in a watch winder from our online store.

There are watch winders in all price ranges. The price depends on the brand, technique, quality, capacity, functions and material. There are big differences, but as a rule you can already buy a good watch winder for 1 watch from 169.00 euros. A good example is the Benson Compact 1.17 Black Leather. This model is suitable for any automatic watch, has an excellent motor and can be set as desired in terms of rotation and TPD.

If you want a model with a larger capacity, the price will of course also go up. If you choose a watch winder that is suitable for winding 2 automatic watches, you should take into account a price from 299.00 euros. If you want extra luxury and functions (LED lighting, extra storage space, beautiful materials), such as the Paul Design Gentlemen 2+3 Macassar offers, the price will quickly increase. Let alone if you need a model for 4, 6, 8 or even 12 automatic watches.

A final advice is to buy a watch winder from a well-known brand from a specialist who has a clear collection of models so that you can compare. Let the seller advise you if you have any questions or if you are not sure which model is best for your automatic watches. An expert will immediately know which brand/model is best for your watches and can offer you several options so that you can make a choice within your preferences and budget.

Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 1202002 watch

For a watch with Italian class, crafted by the hand of a craftsman, you've come to the right place at the young watch brand Meccaniche Veneziane. Meccaniche Veneziane was born from the passion of two brothers for watchmaking. There is a beautiful story behind the creation of this brand. If you are charmed by a brand with a background story, Meccaniche Veneziane is certainly interesting. The brand uses Swiss made timepieces and nowadays also Seiko timepieces. The latter ensure that Meccaniche Veneziane watches have become even more affordable than they already were. If you are a lover of craftsmanship and beautiful designs, and you like to see this reflected in the watch you wear on your wrist, a brand like Meccaniche Veneziane is perfect. Because not only the watches themselves, but also the leather used for the watch straps and even the watch boxes from Meccaniche Veneziane come from the hand of a craftsman. The leather that Meccaniche Veneziane uses comes from Veneto and Tuscany. The watch boxes are manufactured by Meccaniche Veneziane in Friuli, by a traditional woodworking company. Woodworking is part of the culture here. The watches and everything that goes with them are taken care of down to the last detail by the watch brand Meccaniche Veneziane.

The collection of Meccaniche Veneziane consists of different series of watches. We distinguish the Redentore and the Arsenale series, but also the very popular Nereide series. The watches in this series were previously always equipped with a Swiss made timepiece that is of course known for its high quality, reliability and durability. Nowadays Meccaniche Veneziane also offers Nereide watches with a very good quality Seiko movement, from Japan. These are a bit cheaper than the Nereide models with a Swiss made movement. In this article, however, we focus on the Nereide watches that are still equipped with Swiss automatic movements.

When we look at the Swiss made Nereide watches, we find sporty and modern designs that are most reminiscent of the Rolex look. The watches are fitted with beautiful leather straps with a different color stitching as an accent. These watches stand out because of a lively use of color. For example, we see watches with the colors red, blue and green. We will highlight some models from the Swiss made Nereide series for you. We start with the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 42mm Ref. 1202002 watch. This watch has a light brown strap with a green dial and also a green bezel. The watch case is made of stainless steel and extremely strong sapphire glass has also been used, so that scratches will not easily be visible on this watch. This watch is also water resistant to 200 meters and closes with a buckle. The watch also has nice extra functionalities. We mention a seconds hand, date display, luminescent indicators, a rotating bezel and screw-down crown. In addition, the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 42mm Ref. 1202002 watch about Superluminova, which glows in the dark. Several other beautiful color combinations are available for this specific model, so that a suitable alternative is available for every personal preference.

Another beautiful Swiss made Nereide watch is the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide Ardesia Acciaio PVD. This watch is made of stainless steel PVD and has a black leather strap. The particularly strong sapphire glass has also been chosen for this watch. The watch is also water resistant to 200 meters and closes with a buckle. This watch also has a rotating bezel and screw-down crown and is also equipped with Superluminova. The Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide Rubino Acciaio is a similar watch, but with a brown leather strap and a black dial with a red bezel.

For a watch with class and style, in an Italian design, you are certainly at the right place at Meccaniche Veneziane. If you also prefer a watch with a Swiss made movement, then this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a stylish watch of high quality with Swiss technology. Meccaniche Veneziane is known for manufacturing quality watches while remaining affordable. However, we have now discounted the last series with Swiss made timepieces in the webshop. As a result, you can now purchase a watch of this caliber at an extra competitive price. This is an offer you can't pass!

Glycine watch sale

Posted on 23 June 2021 at 10:01 PM

When we talk about a watch brand that stands for pure perfection, we are talking about Glycine. Glycine was founded by Eugène Meylan who was a true perfectionist. Everything had to be right when designing his Glycine watches. This ranged from the design, to the use of materials and technical details. This applies to this day and with a Glycine watch you choose sublime quality. Glycine is also known as a watch brand that is progressive. Innovation and development have therefore always been a top priority at Glycine. In addition, the brand is known for its pilot/world timer watches, with which it focuses, among other things, on pilots and frequent travelers.

Glycine Airman42 DoubleTwelve GL0061 watch

Glycine watches are comparable to larger brands in terms of quality and technical aspects, but at a better price. The price/quality ratio is therefore very good. Because Glycine is also a smaller watch brand, they pay more attention to quality and finish. The Glycine watches are manufactured in Switzerland in a very strict production process, which is clearly visible in the beautiful end result. Glycine has become very popular and well-known because of the 'Airman' model, which is still available to this day.

In the Glycine collection we can distinguish between different beautiful series of watches. In this article we want to bring 3 specific watches from Glycine to your attention, 2 of which are the particularly beautiful 'Airman' models. First of all, the Glycine Airman DC 4 Vintage GL0072 Purist, which is a very complete pilot's watch. This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters and has various additional functionalities. We're talking about a rotating bezel, screw-down crown and luminescent indicators. But also a date display and second hand are not missing. The case of this watch is made of stainless steel and the watch strap is made of nato. The watch has a black dial and a black strap. It closes with a buckle closure. Of course, this watch has a Swiss made top quality automatic movement, for which Glycine is known for.

The second Glycine watch we would like to mention is the Glycine Combat Classic Moon Phase GL0115, from the Combat Classic Moon series. This watch has a somewhat classic and traditional look, partly due to the beautiful brown leather strap. The dial is silver in color, with yellow accents. This watch has a date display, second hand and luminous indicators, as well as a moon phase display. The latter makes the watch extra special and will certainly be appreciated by the real enthusiast. The Glycine Combat Classic Moon Phase GL0115 is also waterproof up to 50 meters and closes with a buckle. This watch is again equipped with an automatic movement of Swiss origin, with which you are again assured of a solid base.

Last but not least, we mention the Glycine Airman 42 Double Twelve GL0061. This watch has a completely different look than the previous 2 watches we discussed. The light brown leather strap in combination with the calm-looking dial makes this watch quite neutral and could be worn with different types of outfits. This watch also offers many extras. With this model you have a screw-down crown, rotating bezel and luminous indicators. You are also equipped with a date display and second hand with this watch. The watch is also water resistant to 100 meters and closes with a buckle. Sapphire glass has been used, so that any scratches will not be visible quickly.

Junkers watches

Posted on 17 June 2021 at 12:58 PM

The German watch brand Junkers is known for the traditional pilot watches and beautiful Bauhaus models that it manufactures. However, the origin of this brand lies in a completely different industry. Junkers was founded by Hugo Junkers in 1895. He was known as a genius engineer and was also seen as an aviation pioneer. Junkers produced aircraft at the time that were clearly recognizable by the corrugated iron that was used. Hugo Junkers collaborated with artists from the Bauhaus art movement for the inspiration of the designs of these aircraft, which of course made the designs extra special. It is also special that we still see this movement in the Junkers watch collection today. With the Junkers watches, the brand brings us back to a time long gone with a nod to the legendary aviation industry. This brand is perfect for lovers of a beautiful and high-quality watch with an interest in history and aviation. Junkers watches are among the most popular watches in Germany, and the brand is expanding rapidly.

The Junkers watch collection is very varied. This applies to both design and appearance, as well as to the type of timepiece. Junkers offers watches with automatic, mechanical and quartz movements. With the automatic and mechanical timepieces one sees more the hand of the craftsman and the old-fashioned operation of the clock. A quartz watch has the advantage that it is more accurate and more resistant to bumps and shocks. Junkers therefore offers not only the pilot's watches for which they are known, but also many different models for a diverse personal preference. The quality of the Junkers watches is a good example of genuine German solidity and reliability. However, this perfect quality does not mean that you have to pay the top price for a beautiful Junkers watch. The brand is also very affordable. The Junkers price/quality ratio is therefore completely fine.

When we look at the different series of watches in the Junkers collection, we find the very popular Bauhaus series and the Bauhaus Lady series. The influence of the Bauhaus art movement is clearly visible here. Bauhaus stands for minimalist and understated designs that radiate tranquility. The dial of the watches is therefore well-arranged and calm. Characteristic of the Bauhaus watches are also the thin watch cases, which ensure a high wearing comfort. Each watch is available with a fine leather strap or a Milanese stainless steel strap, which makes the choice even wider. In addition to the very popular Bauhaus watches, Junkers has several other beautiful series, of which we will pick a few.

An example of a Junkers watch series with very nice watches is the Junkers South America series. In this series we find particularly beautiful watches for both men and women, with a classic look. Colors such as black, silver and brown are common. We also come across extra functionalities such as a seconds hand and date display, but also, for example, a beautiful chronograph function in various models from this series.

Watches in the Junkers Hugo Junkers series have a completely different look. These watches are a bit more cool and sporty in appearance and in terms of color we see a lot of black and white with red accents. If we look at the dials we see it in black, but also a striped dial. This one is slightly different, because this detail gives a playful effect. Here too we see additional functionalities such as second hand, luminous indicators and a tachy meter.

Are you looking for a quality watch at an attractive price? Then it is definitely worth taking a closer look at the Junkers watch in our collection. We offer a wide choice of Junkers watches, for both men and women. It is also possible for us to quickly order models that we do not have in stock from Junkers in Germany. At the moment we also have several special offers from this brand, so that you can now purchase a watch from this traditional brand at an extra cost. With a watch of this caliber, you choose a watch for now and for the future. Whatever your timepiece preference, whether you prefer a more classic watch or a more sporty model, the Junkers collection has you covered. If you are also someone who can appreciate a touch of nostalgia, Junkers is the brand for you.

We deliver every Junkers watch with a 2-year warranty and a clear manual in a luxurious official box. So order your favorite Junkers watch quickly and without worries in our webshop. We are happy to help you with any questions and as an official Junkers dealer we can also provide you with appropriate advice if necessary.
