I obviously have waaay too much time on my hands and too many affordable-watch purveyors around my person.
No denying it’s fun, though! : ]
The Junghans Meister Driver, driven by a manually wound Peseux 7001.
The watch is paper thin at 7.3mm and only 37.7 mm across, yet creates a good, elegant and attractive, vintage-vibed presence and mood on the wrist.
According to Junghans, the dial was inspired by the dashboard displays on the Maybach DS 8 Zeppelin of 1932, as some of our auto enthusiasts here may recognize.
As I’m not so much of an auto guy, I just know that I love the white, gray, beige colorway and the simple, combined beauty of it all.
Congratulations. Best, Emmanuel
A study of contrasts with my UN Deep Dive One More Wave monster : )
I like the profile shot in your second pic, the case and lug design is very elegant, great addition!
Is there a doc in the house?!
I didn't know about this reference until a few days ago, but it really caught my eye and attention when I stumbled upon it.
First of all, huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 I used to live close to the historical location of Junghans for some years and have been ok and off considering to add something beyond the Max Bill kitchen clock we have. This looks quite intriguing and the dimensions are spot on 🙌🏻
