Junghans's Latest Watch Combines Two of the Brand's Greatest Contributions to Timekeeping

When you think of Junghans watches, you probably think of the Max Bill The Max Bill today remains one of our favorite minimalist watches This is a technology that we have Junghans to thank for, as it debuted the world's first radio-controlled table clock in the late '80s, then the first radio-controlled wristwatch, called the Junghans MEGA 1, in 1990.

The new Max Bill MEGA features Junghans's J101.65 movement, packed into a case that's 38mm across and 9mm thick The movement picks up radio signals from three different continents and checks the seconds hand 1,440 times a day to make sure the time displayed on the watch is in-sync with the actual time The watch comes either with a white dial or a black one, with a few different strap options available.

We don't know much else about when the watch will be available for purchase or specific pricing, though First Class Watches has quoted a £790 starting price, which is approximately $1,045. . Source
