The Stowa brand has been a renowned German maker of high-quality watches since 1927. It works well as both your daily beater or as a dress watch for special occasions. It’s a strong entry with a sophisticated, versatile style. It’s a battery-operated quartz watch that’s rated waterproof up to 3 bars.Įvery design aspect in this Swatch product is Bauhaus. The Swatch Skinbrushed SYXS102 features toned-down colors in a more grown-up design that contrasts a black dial in a stainless steel case with a dark brown leather strap and a stainless steel buckle. Today, most Swatch watches retain a more toy-like appearance, though this just allows the brand to position itself as a fun, affordable, and durable Swiss watch with colorful designs that the more youthful of us prefer. The entire product line was made as a cheaper line of almost disposable quality products that would compete against the much cheaper digital watches produced by Japan. Who knew that in the beginning the Swatch name had a rather nasty connotation? The name was meant as a portmanteau for “Second Watch,” meaning that it’s your back-up watch. The distinct Swatch look cannot be mistaken for anything else.
To complete the look, choose between a leather or stainless steel band. This watch also features a squarish date window that shows the day of the month. These lines are evenly spaced by dots that culminate in retro 40s or 50s style numerals every 5 minutes around the watch face. This design feature, though prominent, is in no way distracting. The design elements that are pronounced in this minimalist watch are the outstretched lines for each 5-minute interval. The hands are stainless steel with fluorescent strips. The clock dial comes in a very elegant beige color and a stainless steel chassis. The Junkers 6050-5 Bauhaus is undeniably Bauhaus in name and form. The watches are made in the same spirit of precise and functional German engineering that gave the Junkers aircrafts their place in history. The aircraft business has since been defunct, but the brand lives on in its watches. It was established in 1895 and closed down in 1969. The Junkers name is associated with German aircraft engineering. The Junkers brand of watches is a proudly German-made product line established in 2003 with a rich history that hearkens back the glory days of aviation.
