Hentschel is a top artisanal brand.
I missed unfortunately the WPS 20 édition 😪.
As for Junghans, many of their current offerings are penalized IMO by a very unattractive date placement (small movement syndrom) 🤔.
I have however a quartz alarm clock from Junghans since more than 30 years ...and still working fine 😍
I like German made watches.
There is no denying,I have a soft spot for German watches : the solidity,the design language and the seriousness of the products ! On top,Germany is my neighbour country,I worked a few years over there and I speak the language !! Over time,quite a few Ger...
Excellent theme and photos! I’ll play
Without awakening my wife to the depth of my collection, I have to use existing pictures of the German watches I have owned and loved (some now gone): Glashutte Original Muhle Glashutte Nomos Schauer Sinn Sinn 356 Sinn 456 Sinn 656 black Sinn 756 Sinn 856...
Beautiful shots and well said! German watches are my favorite, too! I visited Glashütte Original once, they are very modest and friendly over there in Glashutte.
I got my first german chrono when i was 6 or so (my granddad always had one in the shelf). I would love to add a Lange at some point, though. They are in my mind the serious guy's watch choice.
Beautiful watches and pictures.
I have a few German watches over the years too, but didn't venture far away from the mainstream brands.
Excellent and eclectic collection Gerard. So many different personalities in that group.
Singling out just one is dangerous but the ALS Moonphase with blue strap elicited a "wow" from me Here is my sole contribution to this thread. GO LunarInverse. It was love at first sight with this one. Thanks for starting up this topic. M4 ...
🚨🤩🤯
You my friend have a stunning and inspirational German collection Gerard! I love how they are thoughtfully organized in your first grid picture. Then you share the name , and an interesting tidbit on each one alone. Very nice choices! I too am a huge fan ...
This is a great post
Everyone is showing such nice pictures. I will share my Benzingers when they arrive. I have heard that the finishing on ALS is far superior to GO, especially on the movement. I heard it has more handcrafting. Would you agree? If ALS has great finishing, h...
Looking forward to see your Benzinger 's!
Yes,Lange is much more hand finishing than GO. Although technically GO's movements are impressive! Dornblüth makes beautiful watches but it is hard to do better than Lange on movement finishing.
Thanks, and also
I forgot that I have a Kudoke coming as well. Will definitely share pics as usual

Beautiful collection!
I also have a preference for German watches and their aesthetic (in a general sense because as your collection shows, there’s a lot of variety). German watchmaking is actually what got me into this hobby!
A truly impressive post 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
And a great collection of German watches 😊👍🏻 You asked about others. There are a handful that have made it into the thread already, such as Kudoke. There is Hentschel, too - the brand that brought us out P20 😉… If you are looking at former Western Germany...

Agreed on the date placement 😊👍🏻
There are some handwound Max Bills without a date - probably the ones to have. And I guess an in house movement is not on the cards for the moment 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely love your German watch brand theme and collection aesthetic!
Having been born in Germany and been exposed to their perfectionism, I completely understand your choices. I really admire your focus in collecting . Have to say, I have me considering trading a few watches for that new GO, it presents such value and beau...
Thanks,Larry !
With the exception of Lange,all these brands represent strong value for the money ...and you do not see them on all wrists 🙃😉
Crushing on the Benzinger watches
I think they should be getting a lot more love than they are.
