Watches Made in Germany

Good things take time

The ideas for all Junkers watches are developed in beautiful Munich, Germany. In our office we brainstorm together, various designs are drawn by hand, there is passionate and constructive discussion. Only then does the actual design begin with the first technical drawings by our small design team with many years of passion for and experience with watches. 

We experiment with different compositions, materials, textures and colors to assemble and select all the details. It takes many prototypes and a lot of patience before a new model or series is created. This means that many months often pass before we are really satisfied. The best things take time. 

Once all the details have been finalized, each Junkers watch is individually assembled by hand in Germany. All components are carefully selected and shipped to Rheinland-Pfalz. There, they are assembled with precision and skill by experienced watchmakers until all the components come together to form a unique watch. 

Each movement is thoroughly inspected before it is professionally installed. The hands are inserted using precision tools and the case is screwed together. The glass is then placed in position. Once the watch has been assembled, a final check is carried out to ensure that it runs smoothly, is undamaged and can withstand the specified water pressure. Only when everything has been approved and meets our quality standards do we polish your watch and pack it carefully until we prepare it for your delivery. 

'Made in Germany' and the usage of international components

'Made in Germany' and the use of international components may seem surprising at first glance. At Junkers, we attach great importance to transparency and would therefore like to provide a comprehensive answer to this question. 

'Made in Germany' stands for 'Manufactured in Germany'. However, this does not necessarily mean that all the components used in the development and manufacture of our watches also come from Germany. Some components of our watches are not manufactured in Germany. Certain components would simply be too expensive for watches that are not part of our premium series and other components come from traditional manufacturers abroad. For example, the ETA movements we use come from Switzerland, although they are of course installed in Germany. The same applies to the movements from MIYOTA and Seiko, which we source from Japan. 

Regardless of their country of origin, we select all components and producers for all Junkers watches with the utmost care. We pay attention to competence, experience and professionalism as well as to a common understanding of values as the basis for a long-term, cooperative partnership. This enables us to offer high-quality and unique watches.
