Jung at heart

The history of Junghans is intertwined with the car, stretching back more than 100 years
Germany’s largest watchmaker? That’ll be Junghans, which churns out 60,000 watches per year from its facility in the Black Forest. Junghans actually began as a wall-clock maker in 1861 and grew to become the biggest producer of timepieces in the entire world.
After adopting industrialisation methods pioneered in America, its 3000 employees were assembling a staggering three million clocks and watches annually by 1903.
