Introducing Junghans Unveils the limited edition Meister Chronoscope

Founded in 1861 in Schramberg, Germany, Junghans built its legacy as a pioneer in timekeeping, rising to become one of the world’s largest clockmakers by 1903. The brand is known for its precision engineering and Bauhaus-inspired design language. This year, Junghans marks a major milestone: 100 years of partnership with Wempe, the Hamburg-based retailer, an anniversary celebrated with a special limited edition Meister Chronoscope.

The Meister Chronoscope is an emblematic model that draws inspiration from a 1936 original. It comes in a 40.7mm polished stainless steel case, 13.9mm thick and tapered to form an elegant silhouette, where a slim bezel and domed sapphire crystal contribute to its clean, refined appearance. On the reverse, a screw-down mineral glass caseback offers a view of the movement while providing 50 meters of water resistance.

The highlight is the light blue domed dial, which features sub-dials at 12 o’clock for the 30-minute counter and at 6 o’clock for the 12-hour counter, both rendered in a darker blue with matching hands. A smaller seconds sub-dial sits at 9 o’clock. Rhodium-plated, curved indices and hands follow the contours of the dial. For the first time, the Wempe logo appears just below the day-date display at 3 o’clock.

Inside ticks the automatic calibre J880.1, based on the Sellita SW500. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 48-hour power reserve. The watch is paired with a midnight blue alligator leather strap, secured with a stainless steel folding clasp. This special edition is limited to 100 pieces and will be available starting 7 May 2025 at a price of EUR 2,590, approximately AED 10,600.
