Zeppelin Watches: A German Brand Inspired By Vintage Airships
History of Zeppelin Watches
An Impressive Family Tree
To fully grasp the history of Zeppelin watches, let’s start with the origins of its parent brand — POINTtec. In 1987, Wilhelm Birk founded the German brand that will soon become the parent company of popular watchmakers.
Their goal was simple — to create German watches that have a unique design and excellent price-performance ratio. True enough, they are the folks behind the celebrated brands such as Junkers, Maximilian Munchen, and of course, Zeppelin watches.
Zeppelin Watches Take Off
During its early years, POINTtec was successful with their models. In fact, Maximilian Munchen watches were a staple for radio-controlled watches on the market. And in 2002, they decided to expand their kingdom with the Zeppelin watches.
Based on its name, the brand was inspired by cigar-shaped airships in the 20th century. And as history would say, travelling via Zeppelins was peak elegance and was reserved for the elite. Although its quality is undoubtedly the crème de la crème, its price range is accessible. As mentioned above, one of the brand’s goals is to offer timepieces that will give you the most bang for your buck.
POINTtec’s Global Reach
Right now, POINTtec remains independent. It is globally-represented by its brands (Zeppelin watches, Iron Annie, and Junkers among others) and is currently one of the largest German watch companies.
