    Junkers watches

    Junkers airplanes and watches have only same name but that's about it, nice watches though and the price isn't bad.
    I do love that there's a story to how watch was named.

    Pictures in imgur, just in case.

    1919 was the maiden flight of the Junkers F13 airplane that was ahead of it's time.

    Sellita SW290-1 decorations and the watch came with genuine alligator strap, so the MSRP 800€ is ok 'ish.

    yeah because of the collaboration between Hugo Junkers and the famous Bauhaus artist Marcel Breuer
