JUNKERS TIMEPIECES

Junkers – What’s in a Name?

Junkers (pronounced Younkers) were first known in Europe as members of the landed nobility with large landholdings and significant political influence.

Junkers Aircraft.
Hugo Junkers was a German engineer and aircraft designer who pioneered the design of all-metal airplanes. He was one of the mainstays of the aircraft industry between World War l and World War ll .
His all-metal passenger and freight planes helped establish airlines in Germany and throughout the world. 
Junkers was a socialist and a pacifist. His political views eventually caused conflict with German leadership.
He died in 1935 while under house arrest during negotiations to cede remaining stock and interests in Junkers.

Today Junkers is well known in Europe as one of Germany’s most popular watches.
Distinctive in their appearance, every model has some connection to aircraft designed by Hugo Junkers in the early age of aviation.  For example the JU 52 models have corrugated dials reminiscent of the corrugated metal sheets used on the JU 52 airplane.
