Perhaps because atomic watches represent the ultimate in Function they have tended to be somewhat deficient in Form. Most of them look like ordinary watches or, worse, CHEAP ordinary watches. It speaks volumes that one of the earliest atomic watches, the Junghans/Wittnauer, is STILL one of the most beautiful. Well, with their Titanium Atomic Watch Stauer is deviating from this pattern.
This is simply one of the best looking atomic watches ever made! No one will mistake it for some bargain basement cheapo; on the other hand no one will guess that you paid less than $200 either! In comparison with my old Junghans/Wittnauer it advanced second by second in lockstep, its large hand ticking off each minute in three, twenty-second steps.
Criticisms? Well, in contrast with my old Junghans/Wittnauer I miss having the date and the seconds shown AT THE SAME TIME in the display. More significantly I miss having the current time zone shown in the same display. Still, these are minor points. In short I think I might have FINALLY found a replacement for my old Junghans/Wittnauer; at least the Stauer doesn’t need an external antenna in the watch band! |
