An extravagant, wonderful wristwatch, perfectly converted from a pocket watch
Case: 18k rose gold, glazed push back, hand setting device via pusher in the case band. Dial: enamel.
In the late 19th century, watch and clock wholesaler J. Bernhard Junge was one of the most famous men in the German horological industry. In 1891 he moved from retailing timepieces to their production and established a manufactory together with his sons - this was the birth of the B. Junge & Söhne brand. Like most of the makers in Glashütte at the time, the individual components were produced by the local cottage industry specialists. The timepieces that are known today bear numbers between 1,000 and 1,400. Watch production in Glashütte was discontinued in 1897.
