Junghans pocket watch caliber J29 military watch running time stopwatch with switching wheel (around 1930), WW2-RARITY in good condition

The rare Junghans pocket watch caliber J29 military watch running watch stopwatch with switching wheel (around 1930), was according to the Junghans novelties catalog from 1925 (from 1927 with 4 jewels) under the company name "Junghans a.g." in Schramberg/now Baden-Württemberg. The fully functional Lepine caliber with a diameter of 49 mm and a weight of 78 grams has a stop function with a column wheel.

Like its successor model J29a, it was also used as a torpedo stopwatch during the Second World War. However, stopwatches of this type were not only used by the navy, but also by other military branches as a short timepiece. The Luftwaffe, for example, used them built into bomb aiming devices, while the army also used these clocks to measure ballistic sound transit times. The use of these high-speed clocks can therefore not be limited to torpedo transit time clocks for naval purposes, as is often claimed.

As in the days of the First World War, Junghans produced large quantities of pocket watches and precision watches for military purposes, but also all kinds of ammunition fuses, including a wide range of artillery and mortar fuses as well as fuses for missiles, infantry grenades, rockets and torpedoes.

A remarkable feature of the early Junghans caliber J29 - a so-called "fast runner" with 36,000 a/h - is the high measuring accuracy of 1/10 second required for ballistic purposes, the good readability of which guarantees a 30-second graduation. Later models such as the more advanced Junghans caliber J29a (also Junghans caliber 629.70 with 4 jewels, 1930 to 1950) or caliber J29/1 (also Junghans caliber 2871 with 4 jewels and shock protection, 1950-1953) alternatively have a conventional 60-second graduation with a smaller graduation of 1/5 second and a lower oscillation rate of 18,000 a/h. The original white enamel dial of this stopwatch with black Arabic numerals is in excellent condition and bears the written Junghans signature. There is a small recessed 15-minute totalizer at 12 o'clock. The second and minute hands are blued to a high standard.

The case of this beautiful stopwatch is made of nickel-plated brass, has no dents or scratches, is free of corrosion and shows slight signs of age-related wear. The minimally curved mineral glass has no major chips or scratches. The hinges are intact and the lids close perfectly. Both lids have a decorative pearl finish from the factory. The outer lid bears the case number 0898925. The stopwatch has the large onion crown with round bow typical of marine, aviation and automotive on-board clocks. All functions - start, stop and zero setting - can be easily operated using the crown marked j for Junghans. This simple and efficient one-push mechanism of the so-called crown stopper was a great advantage for practical handling in battle.

The well-preserved 18.5 ligne hand-wound movement (nominal diameter 41.4 mm) with 3 jewels (version only in caliber J29), brass plate, jewel lever, balance rim and flat hairspring bears the well-known Junghans mark with caliber number 29 and movement number 0040486. The Junghans catalog from 1925 shows that this caliber J29 is a comparatively early movement of the caliber J29 family - a contemporary testimony to German watch and military history that is not only worth collecting for Junghans aficionados. As can be clearly seen in the photos, this rare and fully functional military watch is in remarkably good and original condition.
