150 Years; Spirit and Hugo Junkers Inspirations
Looking back to past, let’s say aeroplans successfully influence and contribute transportation during World War I and II especially German manufacturer called Junkers. Designed by Professor Hugo Junkers (1859-1935), scientist, inventor and the great aeroplans engineer in the 19th century.
Junkers is a pioneer of cantilever-winged monoplane aircraft that had little to no external bracing. This is a breakthrough in aeroplans industries, because that design makes aeroplans much lighter and flies faster than other aeroplans in its time. This technology inspires Junker watch manufacturer to design 150 Jahre Hugo Junkers Collection. The launching is also a 150 years of professor birthday, this watch is designed just like the soul of Junkers aircraft.
In 2011 these collections have many fans and become Junkers’ collection most popular. Black dial with “150 Jahre Hugo Junkers” text in it. The collections come with some variants; 6654-2 series is limited edition which only 1,500 pieces worldwide, made by crystal sapphire and Swiss made automatic movement. Another series are 6684-1 and 6684-2 with quartz powered movement as well as alarm and chronograph.
The 150 Jahre collections is characterized by its black dial featuring “150 Jahre Hugo Junkers”, white markers and indices as well as the venerable red second hand that gives the watch its functional character.
