In a gadget crazed world this does exactly what it is supposed to do and with sublime efficiency, which is kind of refreshing. its 'honesty' and dependability (I guess you could call it lack of pretentiousness). The second hand lines up perfectly with the seconds. The summertime change saved my wife and I from a missed appointment once when we forgot and all our clocks were an hour slow. change to/from summertime and never needing to change the date. travelling to other timezones preserves the time Always right, never needs a battery, never needs to be opened so always waterproof Take it off and feel it, it oozes quality What I like about it, in no particular order: Mine has never run out of power, although I don't doubt this is possible. If you are the kind of person to appreciate quality engineering, you will love this. I bought this watch (, black face) in Aug 06 (it is now Mar 09) and it is one of the best things I have ever purchased, and I have bought a few nice cars and hifi etc in my time.
This involves the hands zooming round and round which is quite spectacular. I love to see peoples faces when the watch resets itself (all by itself!) to the correct time at my touch of a button. in Cyprus) the LCDs gradually disappear, and only return again when the watch cools down.This makes it impossible to check the date!Īpart from the disappearing LCDs and black finish I have been thoroughly pleased with the watch.
In hindsite, I would probably go for stainless steel, as the black finish has been gradually wearing off the strap over the years and rather spoils the 'neat and tidy' impression.The summertime/wintertime automatic change is brilliant because I can never remember which way the clocks go! I was disappointed that my new watch didn't work 'automatically' in Canada when we went,(we were there at 9/11) but then they don't have (but could have?) transmissions from the atomic clock in Hanover over there.Īnother problem I have encountered only very recently (this year) is that when the weather is hot (e.g. I always wanted a radio controlled,solar powered watch and this was it! All black, which I thought was rather different,it always looked stylish in a restrained sort of way. I bought this Junghans Megasolar Watch in 2001.
