Hi, I bought a Junghans Voyager Mega when i was working outside of Malaysia. Was attracted by the design -simple yet elegant. The radio frequency technology was impressive - my first thought was - this is a good watch for people who travels much.

When I got back to Malaysia for good early this year - I realised that the radio frequency in Malaysia is different than Japan and Europe (apparently I did not do enough prep work). Thus, the auto-adjustment functionality went hay wire and the watch was un-usable.

I am not very sure if there is a way to ""twik" the watch so that the I can use this lovely Junghans Voyager Mega in Malaysia. Can any experts in the know share your opinion please? If needed, I would not mind going to any shop/service center to get it fixed.

Having said all this - i personally still like this watch alot. Gotta say - Junghans is a fresh breath to me after looking at all the  swiss made watches adverts (with all due respect to swiss made watches).

Unfortunately, currently there's no way to modify of upgrade the movement ....in Malaysia the distributor only brought in their Mechanical line of watches.  ;D

Size: 38mm
Height: 10mm
Movement: ETA 2824-2
Front Crystal: Plexiglass

The value of the watch is more skewed toward the Max Bill 1960's design, it is standard in terms of horological specification.
The design was too "modern" for the 1960's people  :Blue: but it become relevant and accepted by the public today

Thanks for the info mate. The Max Bill grey dial brown index looked very nice in person. Beautiful piece with classic look.

Cheers

Max Bill Grey, nice...very indeed.

So went out to Pavy a couple of weeks ago, as noted at their website, Wata Time is our local agent. Bump into Freddy (of Wata Time) they no longer carry this brand  :Blue:

Oh!! Well, since I was there, might as well, molest a Breitling, an Omega and a B&R.  ;D

Any other place I can view the Max Bill?

Peace

Depends on how you sees Junghans, In terms of price point, it is similar with swiss brand like Longines, Frederique Constant and Maurice Lacroix.

It is expensive if you compare it with Tissot, Certina, Mido, Steinhart....

There's two different collection which are more famous: the Max Bill and the Meister with the Meister with slightly higher price point.

Junghans is a "real" German watch brand that their story heritage is all true not marketing history one, I had personally visited their facility in Schramberg and would say this a German Giant that is still sleeping....

Junghans used to be the largest watch making company in Germany. I would recommend you to look at its Maxbill or Meister line which has bauhaus-inspired design.
Worn and wound had recently review one of their watches (Meister Kalendar)

Ive always wanted the Max Bill series however i am cursed with a small wrist with lady like hand.
And i wish that they used sapphire glass instead. Love the design otherwise.
