JUNGHANS – THE GERMAN WATCH
many congratulations on your purchase of a timepiece from junghans.
what began in 1 61 with the founding of the firm in schramberg quick-
ly developed into one of the most fascinating success stories of the
german watchmaking industry. while since that time the demands
made of watches may have changed, the junghans philosophy has
always remained the same. innovative flair and the constant pursuit of
precision right down to the smallest detail define how the company
works and thinks. you can see and sense this in every watch that car-
ries the junghans name. for as diverse as the junghans range may be,
it pursues one single goal: to combine traditional craftsmanship with
cutting-edge watch technology and exciting design. that makes every
watch with the junghans star unique.
we hope you will enjoy this very special timekeeping instrument.
yours,
Uhrenfabrik Junghans GmbH & Co. KG

max bill – architect of time
max bill was one of the most unusual artists of our age. a true uni versal
genius, he worked as an architecht, painter, sculptor and product
designer, leaving behind an extensive body of work. this includes one
of the most fascinating timepiece series made, still produced in almost
unchanged form today: the wall clocks and wristwatches that he de -
veloped for junghans. as a bauhaus student of walter gropius, he
intuitively understood how to apply the pursuit of constructive clarity
and precise proportions to his work.

A. general infor ation for all our ax bill watches
i portant note: do not ake any changes to the date between 8p
and 2a , as the date is auto atically advanced by the ove ent
during this period and you could da age the date advance echa-
nis .
to ensure that your watch functions correctly for many years, do not
expose it to extreme temperatures or violent shocks. your watch is not
water resistant, so you should keep it dry. servicing tasks or wrist strap
repairs should be done by your junghans specialist. your watch is fit-
ted with a quality wrist strap that has undergone multiple inspections
in our factory. if, however, you decide to change the strap, please fit
a new one of the same quality, preferably an original junghans wrist
strap. watch and wrist strap can be cleaned with a dry or slightly moi-
stened cloth. attention: do not use chemical cleaners (e. g. benzine or
paint thinners), these may harm the surface. we recommend that you
have your watch regularly inspected by your junghans specialist.
1.1. winding up your watch
with the winder in position a, you can wind up the mechanical move-
ment manually. the watch will be fully wound after c. 30 turns of the
winder. fully winding your watch guarantees maximum precision and
reserves of power.
caution: do not forcibly overwind your watch, as this could damage
the movement.
1.2. setting the time
pull out carefully the crown 1 (pos. b). you can then move the minute
and hour hands. push the crown 1 back in so that it clicks into its nor-
mal position (pos. a).

2.1. winding up the watch
with the winder in position a, you can wind up the automatic move-
ment manually. at least 2 to 3 rotations of the winder are needed to
start the movement. it is better to wind it up completely. it is fully wound
up after c. 30 rotations of the winder, as then the maximum accuracy
and its power reserve (even after the watch is put down) will last for
the maximum period. after you have set your watch, you should wear
it, so that the automatic winding system (via rotor movement) keeps it
constantly operational.

2.2. setting the time
pull the winder into position c. that stops the watch movement. to set
your watch accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as
the second hand is passing the figure 60. you can now position the
minute hand precisely in line with the relevant minute marker and set
the desired time. press the winder back into position a to start the
second hand.
2.3. setting the date (varies by model)
pull the winder into position b. you can now set the date by turning it
to the right. do not ake any changes to the date between 8p and
2a , as the date is auto atically advanced by the ove ent during
this period and you could da age the date advance echanis .
if the month has less than 31 days, set the date manually to the first
day of the following month.

3.1. winding up the watch
with the winder in position a, you can wind up the automatic move-
ment manually. just 2 or 3 turns are sufficient to start the movement
going. it is better to wind it up completely. it is fully wound up after c.
40 rotations of the winder, as then the maximum accuracy and its
power reserve (even after the watch is put down) will last for the maxi-
mum period. if your model has a screw-locked winder, this must be un -
screwed by turning it to the left to start your watch going. after you
have set your watch, you should wear it, so that the automatic wind-
ing system (via rotor movement) keeps it constantly operational.

4.3. ready for use
to ensure that your junghans watch is always ready for use, you should
avoid allowing its power reserves to run down. the watch regularly
checks to see if it still has sufficient battery power. if it no longer has
enough (e.g. because the battery has run out or the ambient tempera-
ture is too low, which impairs battery performance), the second hand
stops for 4 seconds and then quickly catches these 4 steps up. if the
battery does not recover (e.g. through the ambient temperature getting
better), you should take your watch to your authorised specialist dea-
ler to have the battery changed. alternatively, send it to the junghans
service centre.
please ensure that the battery is disposed of properly in accordance
with statutory regulations.
