Junghans Meister S Chronoscope - 27/4228.44
About this timepiece
Powerful, polished and unmistakably sporty, the Junghans Meister S Chronoscope (ref. 27/4228.44) is an automatic chronograph that gives the Meister line a bold, masculine edge. Its 45 mm stainless steel case is shaped with solid, dynamically curved edge protection, and the dark blue/black effect-lacquer dial carries indices and hands coated in white, environmentally-friendly luminous substance for a confident read at any hour.
Inside works the self-winding calibre J880.1, with a power reserve of 48 hours when the chronoscope is not running, a stop function with 30-minute and 12-hour counters, a small second, and a date and weekday display with the weekday shown in German. The screwed crown, seven-screw case back with Junghans star insignia and anti-reflective sapphire crystal make it water-resistant up to 20 bar. A stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp, safety clip and fine adjustment feature lets you fine-tune the fit with ease, a thoughtful touch on a chronograph built for daily wear.

Timepiece History
Junghans was founded on April 14, 1861, in Schramberg in Germany's Black Forest, when Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law, Jakob Zeller-Tobler, set up a firm making parts for large Black Forest clocks; the first complete Junghans clocks followed in 1866. By 1903, Junghans had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in the world, and in 1918 it completed its nine-level terrace building, the Terrassenbau, which today houses the Junghans Terrassenbau Museum. Owned by the Steim family since 2009, Junghans remains based in Schramberg today.
Junghans began producing its own movements in the 1930s, and they became the basis of the Meister watches; the Meister collection was launched in 1936. During the heyday of the mechanical wristwatch, Junghans developed many movements in Schramberg and reserved its finest calibers for the Meister line, and Junghans reserves the Meister designation for its most exclusive watches. In 1956 Junghans ranked among the largest chronometer makers in the world, and in 1957 it introduced the J83, its first automatic chronometer caliber. The Meister S Chronoscope gave the line a sporty-elegant design, and in 2021 Junghans released the Meister S Chronoscope Platin Edition 160, a platinum version limited to 12 numbered pieces worldwide. Meister has offered reliable timekeeping for nearly a century.

Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.
