Authentic Time is built on a simple idea: great watches shouldn’t sit forgotten. We find them, bring them back to life, and make them yours.
A fantastic example of the Junghans Mega Solar, a remarkable German-made timepiece combining advanced solar-powered technology with radio-controlled precision.
Originally introduced during the 1990s, the Junghans Mega Solar range was ahead of its time, offering the convenience of solar-powered operation together with the accuracy of radio-controlled timekeeping.
This particularly attractive example features a distinctive dark solar-panel dial, contrasting silver chapter ring and a sleek matt-black case.
The watch has an unusual and futuristic appearance, with slim silver hands, minimalist hour markers and a small digital date display positioned at 6 o'clock.
One of the most impressive features of this watch is its movement. Rather than relying on regular battery changes, the movement is powered by light, with its rechargeable energy storage system designed to maintain operation between charging periods.
Its radio-controlled technology is designed to synchronise with an accurate time signal when reception conditions permit.
