JUNGHANS creates a Champions-Edition for VfB Stuttgart

Precision, perfect timing and enthusiasm for extraordinary achievements, a long tradition and of course the region are all attributes, that the actual German football-champion and the best-known German watch-brand have in common.

„There was no doubt that VfB Stuttgart would choose a precious souvenir as present for the Champions-Team 2007 from the JUNGHANS-collection", said VfB-President Erwin Staudt on the occasion of a visit to JUNGHANS in mid July.

Team-Manager Horst Held, the new Co-Trainer Markus Babbel and VfB Marketing - Manager Jochen Röttgermann were also guests in Schramberg.

Since January 2007 JUNGHANS is present at all VfB Stuttgart "Bundesliga"- and "Pokal" -home games, as "Time-Partner".

Now JUNGHANS extends its commitment to VfB with the "Pilot Chronoscope Champions-Edition 2007".

The edition is strictly limited to 50 pieces. The special features of this watch are the case-engraving of the
VfB Symbol combined with the words: "Deutscher Meister 2007" and the individual serial number.

29 watches out of this exclusive edition will be given to the VfB-Champions-Team. The serial number of each watch corresponds to the tricot number of the player.

The champions-team will receive the watches on the occasion of the VfB training camp in July, taking place in Irdning / Austria.


Additional 20 watches are available to selected jewellers. The Champions-Edition watch will be packed in an exclusive wooden box with the signatures of the team, trainer and team-manager. The price of this special watch will be EUR 1.500,-. A part of this amount will be given to support the youth of the champions club.

Due to the fact that these watches are real collectors pieces, it is very probable that all of them will be sold before the end of the production.

In addition, there will be an auction for the last watch of this limited edition (serial number 50/50) in the beginning of the new "Bundesliga" season on the VfB-Homepage. The auction revenue will also be dedicated to support the youth of the VfB.

VfB president Mr Erwin Staudt is pleased about this "special partnership" with JUNGHANS and adds:
"One can be proud of a strong brand like Junghans".
