1. Radio technology
Cutting edge chronography.
5,000 years have now passed since the advent of chronography. Start-
ing with sundials and water clocks, advancing to mechanical clocks in
the 13th century and then followed by quartz watches, chronography
has now culminated in the radio-controlled watches by Junghans.
Radio-controlled watches by Junghans are always accurate and never
require adjustment if reception conditions are adequate. Junghans
radio-controlled watches are perfectly accurate because they are linked
to the most accurate clocks in the world by radio signals.
In Europe, this is the caesium clock of the German National Metrology
Institute (Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt, PTB) in
Braunschweig.
In North America, this is the caesium clock of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
in Boulder, Colorado.
In Japan this is the caesium clock of the National Institute for
Information and Communication Technology, an association of the
government office.
