Junghans returns to radio-controlled timekeeping for contemporary family of Mega watches

Junghans has added the accuracy of radio-controlled timekeeping to a modern day re-invention of its Mega family from the 1990s The old Mega platform might have been labelled the first smartwatch around quarter of a century ago, with its connectivity via radio waves to masts beaming time correction information The only sign that they are radio-controlled is the appearance of the Mega logo on their dials.

The radio-controlled movement guarantees precision when it is in range of a timekeeping radio signal On three continents, including Europe, the time is received via a time signal with a deviation of just 0.006 seconds in one million years The Max Bill Mega and Meister Mega watches automatically adjust to the correct time every day.

The Max Bill Mega collection, which uses a steel 38mm case, will sell for around $1000. . Source
