Junkers has also automatic watches in the Bauhaus and Bauhaus 100 Jahre series. Also, Zeppelin watches are made by the same company and can be found on the same website as Junkers watches. They’re essentially the same watches with different dials and branding. Love the Bauhaus series!

Thx Teddy! The Stowa ticks off the things I'm looking for in a watch for dress & everyday. Heritage German brand, 38 or less, lume, no date, ETA manual and not too "sporty" to me; plus under $750. As you mentioned, looks like I can use a bracelet, leather or NATO on it. If I get the new job this week I'm buying myself one as a present! The Max Bill manual was a very close second!! Thx again!

It is absolutely gorgeous, my co-workers ask me about it all the time with someone even commenting that it has steam punk vibe to it. It definitely has a early 20th century design element to it. I paid $300 for it. Wish I could share a pic of it on here, but its becoming one of my favorite watches in my collection

Difficulty for Americans: In the advertising here the company pronounces it "brawn", presumably because "brown" does not sound *European* enough. It blew my mind when I first saw a Braun ad in German, and I realized yes: "au" in Braun is pronounced as 'ow', as Donau River.

My favorite German watch right now is the Junghans Meister Telemeter. I love the vintage inspired look and coming in at 40mm for a chrono is a winner for my wrist. The Nomos Zurich World Time in midnight blue comes in at a close second in my book. While both watches are over the $1000 mark, Junghans at $2k USD and the Nomos at $6k USD, I believe they embody the spirit of German engineering and form.

You guys shouldn't be so negative about your watches... Yes, the quality of Russian watches varies quite a bit. But the point of getting a Russian watch isn't its perceived "quality" but its charm, that very special "cool factor" you don't get from others. It's the exact same thing with your military hardware: mostly ugly as f*ck but always very functional and robust with the same "cool factor"! I'm a sucker for your watches and I'm also Swiss by the way. My 25$ Komandirskie has way more wrist time than my Submariner. You don"t need to understand, but be glad that there are people out there that genuinly like your country's watches!

About Junkers: First of all, it's pronounced YOONKERS. Second, much of the appeal of the brand isn't just the style. Junkers is a legendary, historical aircraft company. the current Junkers watch brand was established by members of the original Junkers family and the watch designs elude to the aircraft designs. This is especially notable with the Tante Ju (a nickname for the legendary JU52).

Am contemplating the Junghans Meister Telemeter gold version 027/5382.00 which is available for 1490 EUR ( 1723 USD) at the moment. Still expensive though...which is probably why we hesitate...

I mean it's probably ok at the 200 end of the price spectrum, but at 900 still painted or printed? I think that is not necessarily Bauhaus spirit :D
