Rare Junghans Pocket Alarm Watch. 1920s. Working and Signed

This elegant Junghans pocket watch, manufactured in Germany in the 1920s, has the unique feature of also functioning as an alarm clock. Made of blued metal, its white dial features large numerals that still retain traces of the original phosphorescent paint. This paint was intended to allow the time to be read even at night, as this watch was most likely designed to be used as an alarm clock by people whose schedules required them to travel. The dial also features a seconds hand and is adorned with a gold-plated outer ring. Overall, this is a very special watch, which has also been fully serviced and adjusted to function as well as it did on the first day.

Engraved on the metal of the movement are the logo and the name of the company that manufactured the watch: Junghans. The Junghans watch company was founded in Germany in 1861 by Erhard Junghans, in partnership with his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler. Today, the brand is a leader in the industry, known for its excellent designs and the precision of its movements. It is also the largest watch company in all of Germany and one of the largest in Europe. The logo that appears on watches and movements manufactured by Junghans is an eight-pointed star with the brand name engraved inside and the initial "J" in a larger font.

In this case, in addition to the aforementioned logo on the movement, we can see instructions for operating the watch and setting the alarm, engraved in elegant calligraphy in German. The watch's serial number-0891877-is also engraved on the inside of the case back. Furthermore, the blued metal used for the case and case back is in good condition, as are the gold-plated crown and bezel. The contrast between the two metals-one dark and matte, the other shiny and luminous-is a detail that adds beauty and character to the design of this elegant watch.

Without a doubt, this Junghans alarm watch will delight all pocket watch enthusiasts and collectors with its originality and fantastic design.
