Hublot Big Bang Rose Gold



This is the Junghans "Meister Handaufzeug" or on behalf of issue in slightly slim by 7.3mm thick and 37.7mm spacious. The design inspiration is a Junghans models anniversary. I think they did an admirable job. I really like the crown. Nicely sized on behalf of winding and tucked under the domed crystal.

The movement is a classic, introduced in 1971 and used in the watches barred near. The 7001 has a 42 hour power reserve and is lone 2.5mm thick. The movement, designed in an era of lesser watches, is narrower than the legal action so there's a gap involving the frame of the junior seconds dial and the outer dial. That sticks barred to me a smidgen, but otherwise I quite like the design.

The Junghans Meister Handwind, with junior seconds in a cracked legal action, is reminiscent of the Piaget Altiplano:

And in addition of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Ultra Thin:



Both of folks cost much more - the JLC is around $5k, and the Piaget $19k, so by comparison the Junghans is a fantastic bargain by around 1000 Euros.

One minor drawback is the crystal, it's Plexiglass with a 'SICRALAN' coating process to harden it a smidgen. Then again, this is a authentic dress watch and expecting sport watch durability is stupid. [Ed. Edge: Is it really Paul?]

There are three versions, in steel and PVD gold:


It has a stone crystal on the back of the legal action, so you can admire the movement too.

Expected file charge is 950 to 1,050 Euros, which I consider an outstanding deal.

Hublot Big Bang Rose Gold - Overall this is a classic and restrained Junghans dress watch by a imposing charge. Since the largest part men don't wear authentic dress watches day by day, it's a blameless place to run through a smidgen a lesser amount of. No stage costs your whole financial statement on a watch you wear twice a time, which is in addition why I can overlook the stone crystal. If you resolve, in statement, wear it each daylight hours after that I'd commend costs more (also consider the Zenith Elite series) to make a navy crystal. This is a imposing size and ought to slip underneath shirt cuffs with improve.
