Junkers Watches

Junkers Watches is based in München, Germany. The brand makes German pilot and Bauhaus watches named after aviation pioneer Hugo Junkers. Every watch is designed and made in Germany. Prices on its site run from about €250 to €840.

Pilot watches

Junkers builds functional pilot’s watches that use clear cockpit cues. The triangle at 12 o’clock helps pilots quickly find the orientation point. On pilot models, Junkers places its triangle with flying man logo at 12 o’clock. Many dials use corrugated sheet design elements inspired by historical aircraft. Flieger dials also include applications and stamps that reference iconic models like the JU 52 and the W33.

The Flieger Bronze GMT is the first Junkers watch water resistant to 20 ATM. It is built for adventures in the air or underwater. The Flieger D-2000 Chronograph takes inspiration from the Junkers G38 D-2000. The G38 had a wingspan of over 44 meters and was among the largest civil landplanes of its time.

Bauhaus design

Junkers also offers classic Bauhaus inspired models. The Bauhaus series commemorates the collaboration of Bauhaus Dessau with the Junkers works. Hugo Junkers was an early supporter and promoter of the Bauhaus. He provided space to the movement and adopted its philosophy in his projects. The first prototypes of Marcel Breuer’s tubular steel chair were made in the Junkers works.

How it is made

All Junkers watches are designed with attention to detail and the aim to be timeless and beautiful. Every Junkers automatic watch has an exhibition caseback to view the mechanical movement. The brand specializes in pilot and Bauhaus watches, embedding typical elements of both styles into designs.

Heritage in aviation

Junkers aircraft have existed for over 100 years. Hugo Junkers set a new standard in aviation by building the first all metal aircraft. The Junkers W 33 made its first flight as a floatplane on the Elbe near Dessau in June 1926. The JUMO watch series pays tribute to the company’s engine research and business field. The Junkers J1 special edition honors a revolutionary aircraft that only flew once.

Pilots and aviation fans like Junkers for its clear pilot dials, true aviation references, and the Bauhaus link. The watches bring aircraft history and clean design together in pieces built in Germany.
