Hey everyone, today we’re taking a look at one of my favourite German made watch brand, Junkers watches. In this Junkers watches review you’ll learn about the history of the Junkers watch brand, where they’re made, how much they cost, are they value for money and are they actually any good.
We’re going to be covering everything for you so you have everything you need to make your decision on whether or not Junkers is the watch brand for you.
The History Of Junkers Watches
Junkers history dates back to 1895 when a German man named Hugo Junkers founded the company. Back then it was a very different company selling in the military and aviation industry. Junkers was responsible for several record-breaking technological innovations which made them a trusted and renowned supplier in the German military. With such a powerful name in the industry it didn’t take long for Hugo Junkers to rise to a prominent and influential position in German the design and engineering circles.
Later in life Junkers become inspired by the Bauhaus design movement. He used his money and influence to really drive the movement – he even influenced the movement of the art school to the Dessau district. To this day Bauhaus style has an influence in design across the globe – from watch design to home interior.
As of late the company has opted for a re-brand. They’re now known as Iron Annie. Now I’m not such a fan of the name change however the watches haven’t really changed. They’re still produced in Germany and managed by the Hugo Junkers family. I’m sure their Iron Annie watches will perform just as well in the long term just as the Junkers brand has.
Where Are Junkers Watches Made?
For over a quarter of a century Junkers has produced quality watches in Germany. To this date their annual production has averaged around 150,000 timepieces a year and they’re one of the largest manufactures in the country.
Junkers Watch Quality
As a German made watch brand you rarely to the size of production that Junkers has done without producing a high quality timepiece. They’re beautifully well built watches that feature high quality luxury movements. You honestly can’t go far wrong buying from this brand.
How Much Are Junkers Watches?
You’ll find that Junkers watches can go for anywhere from £300 up to £1,500+ depending on what your personal desire for luxury movements and parts is. In my opinion even their most affordable Junkers timepieces are worth checking out.
Where To Buy Junkers Watches?
I personally like to stick to recommending watch shops I’ve actually purchased from in the past. With that said I normally like to browse through Amazon for starters as the range they have available is very good and they’re often reasonably well priced.
A sensible alternative to Amazon would be The Watch Shop in the UK. They’re a dedicated watch retailer and as such have the know-how to answer any questions you may have and they provide an excellent service throughout.
Junkers Iron Annie Watch Review
The differences between Junkers and the Iron Annie collection really are minimal. They’re still the same high quality German manufactured watches of the past, just with a more modern branding.
Used Junkers Watch
If you’re looking to make a bit of a saving then opting for a second-hand used Junkers timepiece could be the way to go. You’ll find there’s a fairly good secondary market for this brand, between the dedicated watch forums and ebay you can find a well priced model to suit.
Are Junkers watches any good?
Junkers are a brand that focuses on minimalist and simplistic watches. The dials are often quite clearly inspired by Bauhaus design with their slim hands and baton style hour markers. But are Junkers watches any good? Junkers are a German made brand that produces high quality relatively affordable watches. With a large range of quartz and automatic watches available, there should be something no matter what your preference for movement.
Overall I’d say Junkers watches are very good. They’re well built and feature high quality parts that are perfect for mid range watches.
