The FORM watches by Junghans are a line of modern, minimal watches with an emphasis on geometry and legibility. Introduced in 2017, they are a contemporary counterpoint to Junghans’ other lines, eschewing soft vintage curves for sharp angles, Plexiglass for sapphire and domed dials for cleverly concave surfaces. With that said, the DNA of Junghans iconic watches are still very clear in the FORMs, giving them the distinct German-flavor that defines the brand.

Designed to be everyday watches, the FORMs have edge-to-edge dials with high contrast indexes and large numerals to maximize clarity. Yet, they are not lacking in subtle, artistic details. A close inspection will reveal understated highlight colors, blind debossed indexes, a beveled date window and an ever-so-slight bowl shape to the dial. This all standing is slight contrast from the conical case with its bold architectural lines and strong facets.

The FORM C features a quartz chronograph movement that adds the practicality of a built-in stopwatch as well as an increased technical appearance. The J645.85 caliber features a stacked 12-hr and 30-minute totalizer at 12 and an active sub-seconds at 6. Additionally there is a date window at 3.
