Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz

Owners widely praise the Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz for its beautiful, no-nonsense design and excellent execution. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the chronograph functions as accurate and the pushers as offering positive action, with particular appreciation for the dial execution, including dished subdials. One owner notes the build quality is very impressive. A downside mentioned is the plexiglass crystal, which scratches more easily than sapphire. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz highly for its attractive design and well-executed chronograph functions.

Junghans Telemeter

The Junghans Telemeter is widely praised for its vintage aesthetic and excellent legibility, with reviewers and owners highlighting its readable dial featuring telemeter and tachymeter scales. The 40.8mm case is noted for its comfortable wearability, with one owner finding it extremely comfortable despite its size, and another mentioning its slim profile allows it to fit well under a cuff. The chronograph pushers and overall construction are described as well-functioning and nicely made, though one owner experienced difficulty starting the watch. The dial's finishing, including circular graining on the main dial and subdials, is also a point of appreciation. Some sources note a 21mm lug spacing as a potential inconvenience for aftermarket strap changes, and one reviewer expressed a preference for a thinner movement caliber. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Junghans Telemeter highly for its compelling vintage design and comfortable wearability.
