An interesting watchmaker is Junghans, the German watchmaker from Schramberg in the Baden-Württemberg region, known for the black forest and traditional villages. Founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans, the company produced wall clocks before later breaking into wristwatches. Based on their company bio, they believe style is not loud, so they favour a highly restrained approach to design. They state their watches are consciously understated with a preference of underscore the personality and attitude of the wearer.

They have some interesting designs, Junghans certainly embraced the bauhaus movement to create some iconic designs. Max Bill is of the most notable of the bauhaus designers, a wall clock is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art. The iconic Max Bill watch released in 1961 has inspired a minimalist design approach that has been copied by numerous watch manufacturers. They have other watches in their collection from pilot watches, Meister, Radio Controlled, Form and Driver Series but are known for the Max Bill.
