I am looking for information on the Junghans Clock Company and a clock
it made for Rolex.  I have a
square, gold Rolex wall clock, about 13 x 13 inches, that looks to be
of the type that was
displayed on a jeweler's or dealers wall.  I am told that it is a
vintage 1970-ish.  It has gold applied hour markers, with a rolex
crown at teh 12 o'clock position and the  ROLEX (in caps) centered
under the 12.  I have a picture, if needed.

If you look at the glass face, a "water-mark" can be seen
between the center of the clock and the 12 position that says
"Junghan".
What can you tell me about the Junhghan company and about it's
manufacturing of this dealer's wall clock for the Rolex watch company.
A picture of it can be viewed here:

Clarification of Question by crutchfield-ga on 26 Mar 2006 00:12 PST

I am most interested in the company's manufacture of watch/jewelery
dealer wall clocks for the Rolex company, as listed at the web address
(there you will find a photo of the exact clock in question)in the
main text of my question.
thanks

Junghans USA has a website here:

http://www.junghansusa.com/

It would help me more if you were to tell me what specific information
you want about the company.

The US site has a brief history.  The parent's German site seems to
have more information.  When you cursor over "English" more pages in
English can be seen.

As you will see, Junghans is an old very well reputed watchmaker,
although it does not have the market presence of many other companies.

Hi,
I give up on finding what you want.  This site shows that Junghans
makes fine wall clocks, and others show that they have been making
them for over 100 years.  But I can't find anything about their making
yours or maybe others for other wristwatch manaufacturers, probably
for the good reason that Rolex and others don't want much known about
this  - as also suggested by the very discrete "watermark".  Of
course, they need to have a very accurate wall clock with their name
on it in a dealer's store.

Lower down on this site are mention a couple of books about Junghans:
