Sustainable design
Sustainable design is the focus at both Stora Enso and Junghans. The design of the watch box is aligned with the sporty and exclusive style of the watch itself. This is presented in a elegant box-in-box solution delivered with a 3D structure effect depicting snow-covered mountains. The watch box is made of Ensocoat from Stora Enso, a renewable and recyclable cardboard for luxury packaging.
„I was inspired by origami and wanted to create a design that goes hand in hand with the high-quality and sporty style of the watch.“ Outi Honkavaara, packaging designer, Stora Enso
The official wristwatch of the Ski World Championships has the eye-catching design of the line 1972 from Junghans and embodies both the company's history of timekeeping and its fascination with winter sports. A rotating bezel around the dial indicates a second time zone and simultaneously creates highlights in red and blue - the official colours of the Ski World Championships.
Design features include a snowflake engraving on one of the screw crowns and a special engraving for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships on the back of the case. Each timepiece has its own serial number to emphasise its limited availability.
Luxury watch in a limited edition
The official clock of the Nordic World Ski Championships is limited to only 500 copies. Four athletes will receive their own watch from the 1972 Automatic FIS Edition at the end of the individual competitions: With its Junghans Award, the company is honouring the four athletes who fly the furthest in the individual ski jumping competitions.
