HISTORICAL DATA

Established by Erhard Junghans with Franz Xaver in 1861 in the Black Forest, making parts for clocks. In 1866 the Junghans brand was established and by 1870 they were producing 100 clocks per day. In 1870 Arthur Junghans, son of the founder took over and the company went ahead rapidly. Following the registration as early as 1877 of the first factory trademark, "eagle with flag", the JUNGHANS trademark, a clock cogwheel fashioned into a eight-pointed star, became the brand symbol in 1890. Three years later, the millionth timepiece was produced. In 1903 JUNGHANS was the largest clock-maker in the world.

NOTES Karen V. had given this clock to me to restore for her, and after I finished, it kind of grew on me. I made her an offer, and it now hangs in the master bedroom.
