JUNGHANS – Spektrum Automatic



JUNGHANS PERFORMANCE Spektrum Automatic NEW

Junghans expands mechanical spectrum

With the new Spektrum Automatic Junghans presents a sporty watch for tech-loving adventurers – with a distinctive appearance and characterful values.


A powerful partner
The strive for adventure and independence exercises a particular fascination. Like the adrenaline rush generated by a sporty serpentine ride or a racing downhill descent, or the sense of impending success shortly before reaching a summit – the desire for freedom has no limits. The new Spektrum Automatic from the German watch brand Junghans is the ideal partner for this.

Outwardly, the 3-hand watch is sporty and robust, whilst inside a mechanical movement guarantees independence from all energy sources. The physical activity of the wearer sets the rotor of the automatic movement in motion – and supplies the timepiece with the necessary energy for adventure

  For every adventure
 
Sporty and solid – two of the characteristics that distinguish the new Spektrum Automatic. The case consists of a ceramic and stainless steel mix that displays high durability, even in the toughest conditions, as well as offering impressive scratch resistance and stability. In addition, the watch features a ceramic crown, providing excellent grip and the option of also winding the watch by hand. To protect the large ceramic crown against external influences and shocks it is embedded in a robust stainless steel crown protector, seamlessly integrated into the dynamic design. So the automatic Junghans movement is protected from damage no matter what kind of fun activity – and the flowing side profile enables the wearer maximum freedom of movement.

The three-dimensional dial looks almost tangible: a sapphire crystal with antireflection coating on both sides creates a particular intensity, as if there is nothing between the observer and the large, appliquéd numerals and hour indices.

A glass case back allows for a fascinating view of the J830 calibre reserved for Junghans. The design and arrangement of the elements conveys a harmonious and functional overall impression – the adventure may begin.
  Three individual characters
 
The new Spektrum Automatic is not only the ideal timepiece for sporting activities. The most elegant model is designed in discreet colour tones and is also an eye-catcher on business or social occasions: a reserved, almost monochrome colour scheme and the polished ceramic surfaces underscore the premium nature of the material.

For wearers looking for that certain something and a more sporty appearance Junghans presents a model with orange-coloured elements and matt ceramic. The sportiest model features a synthetic rubber strap. At night, legibility is ensured via the generous coating of the appliqués with luminous materials. Whether it is during a sporting activity, leisure or everyday use, nothing can hold back the Spektrum Automatic.

A. Lange & Sohne – 1815 CHRONOGRAPH Gold Special Edition


A. Lange & Söhne 1815 CHRONOGRAPH White Gold Special Boutique Edition NEW

Blue on silver

On the occasion of the Watches & Wonders exhibition, the 1815 CHRONOGRAPH takes centre stage with an exclusive case-and-dial combination. This special white-gold model features blue numerals and a pulsometer scale. It is available only in the 16 A. Lange & Söhne boutiques worldwide.

Since 2010, the 1815 CHRONOGRAPH has been a paragon of classic design combined with advanced technology. With its Arabic numerals and railway-track minute scale, the dial recalls the charisma of A. Lange & Söhne’s coveted pocket watches. Paying tribute to the 200th birthday of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who transformed Saxony into a centre of precision watchmaking in the 19th century, the eminent manufactory now presents a special edition of the chronograph.

In addition to deep-blue printed dial elements, the argenté-coloured face in solid silver features a pulsometer scale at its periphery. It is used for heart-rate measurements. This is done by stopping the time while counting 30 heartbeats. Then, on the pulsometer scale, the chronograph sweep-seconds hand provides a direct reading of the number of beats per minute. The hands reflect the colour combination of the dial: hours and minutes are indicated with rhodiumed-gold hands. The chronograph sweep-seconds, minute counter and subsidiary seconds hands are made of blued steel.

The L951.5 chronograph calibre is controlled by a column wheel, equipped with a snail for the precisely jumping minute counter and features a convenient flyback function.

It has a power reserve of 60 hours. A large balance wheel with eccentric poising weights driven by a freely oscillating hairspring crafted in-house assures excellent rate accuracy.

When he established his watch manufactory in 1845, the Dresden-born watchmaker Ferdinand Adolph Lange laid the cornerstone of Saxony’s precision watchmaking. “This year, we are celebrating his 200th birthday,” says Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid. “He defined the most important distinguishing elements of the Saxon style of watchmaking, which can still be found in our modern timepieces. We look forward to sharing this knowledge with watch connoisseurs in Asia on the occasion of the third Watches & Wonders.”
