When I think atomic, I usually think Japanese. Traditionally Casio, and increasingly Seiko watches. I'm happy to report, however, that it's time to start thinking German, as well.
Not only is the new Junghans Mega 1000 atomic, but it's a worldwide atomic watch, as well, which means it is capable of receiving time signals transmitted by almost all the atomic clocks in the world. The Junghans Mega 1000 can calibrate with atomic clocks in Mainflingen, Germany, Fort Collins, Colorado, and the two atomic clocks in Japan (the only one missing is the one in Rugby, England, but I think the theory is that the one in Mainflingen has Europe pretty well covered). Multi-time signal functionality definitely the new trend in atomic watches as evidenced by the new Seiko watches Brightz worldwide atomic watch, and the new Casio Triple-region Waveceptor.
