he name says it all: the Form unites classic watchmaking with modern design. And Junghans masters both. The three new variations extending the Form A Chronoscope line prove this impressively with a shiny, black-coated stainless steel case underscoring the clean design.

The dial with matte black surface and handset in gunmetal form an exciting combination underscored by concave chronograph totalisers and day and date displays perfectly placed within the clear, symmetrical dial design.

Accents in orange, grey, and a curry hue on the hour indexes and baton hands guarantee reliable visibility of the time thanks to a layer of colourful fluorescent coating – whether in the hectic of the day or late at night in the city that never sleeps.

The play between the case and dial colours is picked up by the leather straps, which continue the sporty modern design with matching colours. While automatic Caliber J880.1 turns the dynamic motion of the wearer into a precise, persevering display of the time, the sapphire crystal, which is anti-reflective on both sides, and a water resistance of 5 bar complete the Form A Chronoscope’s readiness for the concrete jungle.

But that is not all: the watch’s pulsating big-city energy is reflected in the sapphire crystal of the case back, which displays the “Times Square” motif of British artist Richard Macneil.
