60 jahre max bill am handgelenk
der architekt, maler, bildhauer und pro-
duktgestalter max bill war geprägt von
der bauhaus-philosophie – der reduktion
auf das wesentliche. seine arbeit sah er
als „gestaltung der umwelt“, die dement-
sprechend formschön und alltagstauglich
sein musste. egal, ob er sich mit kunst oder
produktdesign befasste. nachdem er bereits
mit küchen-, tisch- und wanduhren designge-
schichte geschrieben hatte, entwarf er 1961
für junghans armbanduhren, die heute als
designikonen gelten.
das 60-jährige jubiläum der max bill arm-
banduhren hat uns zu einem besonderen
edition set inspiriert. dafür wurde in die für
max bill charakteristische minuterie, mit den
leuchtpunkten bei 3, 6 und 9 uhr und dem
doppelpunkt auf 12 uhr, diskret die zahl 60
integriert.
max bill Automatic
jede der drei uhren des sets stellt die zeit
auf eine andere weise dar. die max bill
Automatic vereint alle zeiger zentral und ist
somit ein modernes ebenbild des originals
von 1961. das zifferblatt mit seiner klaren
anordnung ist auf das wesentliche konzen-
triert und die proportionen von minuten-
und stundenstrichen spiegeln das perfekte
augenmaß des künstlers wider.
60 years of max bill on your wrist
architect, painter, sculptor and product
designer max bill was strongly influenced
by the bauhaus philosophy – stripping
back to the bare essentials. he viewed his
work as “shaping the environment”, which
required that the results be well designed
and practical for everyday use accordingly.
this applied in equal measure whether he
was occupied with art or product design.
after initially writing design history with his
kitchen, table and wall clocks, 1961 saw
the creation of his now iconic junghans
wristwatches.
the 60th anniversary of our max bill wrist-
watches has inspired us to create a special
edition set. in commemoration of this occa-
sion, the number 60 has been discreetly
integrated in the minute track which is so
characteristic of max bill watches, with lumi-
nous dots at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions
and double points at 12 o’clock.
max bill Automatic
the time is displayed differently on each of
the three watches in the set. with all hands
merging in the centre, the max bill Automatic
is a modern reproduction of the original from
1961. focussing firmly on the bare essentials,
the dial boasts a distinctive layout and the
artist’s meticulous eye for scale is perfectly
demonstrated in the proportions of the min-
ute and hour markings.

winding up the watch
with the crown in position a, you can wind
up the automatic movement manually. at
least 2 to 3 rotations of the crown are
needed to start the movement. maximum
accuracy and maximum power reserve are
ensured when the watch is fully wound (see
technical information) – even after taking the
watch off. if your model has a screw-locked
crown, this must be unscrewed 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 winding system (via rotor
movement) keeps it constantly operational.

month has less than 31 days, set the date
manually to the first day of the following
month. please notice: do not make any
changes to the date between 8pm and 2am,
as the date is automatically advanced by the
movement during this period and you could
damage the date advance mechanism.

general information regarding watches
in order to maximise serviceability, the watch
should not be exposed to extreme tempera-
tures and powerful shocks. service work or
repairs to the strap should be carried out by
your junghans specialist. your watch is fitted
with a quality strap which has undergone
multiple tests in our company workshops.
should you choose to replace your strap,
please use a strap of equal quality, and
preferably an original junghans strap. both
the watch and the strap can be cleaned
using a slightly dampened cloth. caution:
do not use any chemical cleaning products
(e.g. benzine or paint thinners). otherwise
the surfaces could become damaged. we
recommend having your watch inspected by
your junghans specialist at regular intervals.

1. radio-controlled technology –
it doesn’t get more accurate.
junghans and a delight in innovation go hand in
hand, as is shown by over 3,000 patents submit-
ted over the course of the company’s history. in
1956, we were the world’s third-largest producer
of chronometers. no reason to be satisfied with
what we have achieved, but rather an incentive to
become ever better. thus, in 1970 we developed
the first german quartz watch and in 1990 the first
radio-controlled wristwatch. the junghans radio-con-
trolled wristwatch is absolutely precise, as it is
linked via radio-controlled technology to the most
accurate clocks in the world. for europe this is the
caesium time base at the physikalisch-technischen
bundesanstalt in braunschweig (germany’s institute
of natural and engineering sciences). for the uk
the time signal comes from three atomic clocks
installed at the transmitter site in anthorn, cumbria,
and is based on the time standard of the national
physical laboratory (npl) in teddington. for japan
the caesium time base of the national institute for
information and communications technology (nict),
a public administration authority organisation. for
north america it is the u.s. commerce department’s
caesium time base at the national institute of stand-
ards and technology (nist) in boulder, colorado. its
time information gets checked against over 60 time
institutes around the globe at the bureau internation-
al des pois et mesures (bipm) in sévres near paris.
thanks to its stylish, classic design you have with the
junghans mega not only the world’s most accurate
time, but perhaps the most beautiful as well.
time signal transmitters
your junghans mega is equipped with a multi-fre-
quency radio-controlled movement. the watch is
able to pick up the signals automatically from the
following time signal transmitters:
– dcf77 in mainflingen (24 km south-east of frank-
furt am main) for europe
– msf in anthorn, cumbria for the united kingdom
– jjy40 on mount ohtakadoya (near tokyo in the
north east of the country) for japan
– jjy60on mount hagane (in south western japan)
for japan and south korea
– wwvb in fort collins, colorado (usa) for north
america
within these 5 transmitter zones the junghans mega
shows the precise radio-controlled time as long as
a successful time synchronisation has taken place.
if the automatic time synchronisation is disturbed
by the weather or by environmental influences (e.g.
storms, electrical appliances or dimmer switches),
the junghans mega automatically starts a new syn-
chronisation attempt at the same time the next day.
manual synchronisation can be initiated at any time
by pressing the corrector corrector button.
with the junghans mega, switching between sum-
mer and winter time happens automatically in the
dcf77 and msf zones. if you travel to a country in
a different time zone, the time zone setting facility
makes it easy to set your watch to the appropriate
local time, accurate to the second.
cutting edge technology for absolute precision
the radio-controlled movement of your junghans
mega is equipped with cutting edge technology
that in addition to radio-controlled time provides
absolute precision:
• the itc (intelligent time correction) technology syn-
chronises the position of the second hand against
the most recently received time information 1,440
times a day. in addition, the position of hour and
minute hands gets checked daily and the position
of the date once a month. if necessary, e.g. after
a shock or interference from a magnetic field, a
correction is made.
• precise indication of the seconds is guaranteed
by the shm (smart hand motion) technology,
which enables the seconds to be displayed in
half-second steps.
• the advanced moving function (amf) controls
second hand, minute hand and date display
using ultramodern technology. the movement of
the date/hands is triggered fractions of a second
before the time changes. as a result what is shown
is the actual time – without any delay at all.
• even without time synchronisation the time shown
is always extremely accurate the time deviation
range that is possible in quartz mode has been
minimised to +/– 8 seconds a year. when worn
normally, the watch’s actual deviation is thus
8seconds a year at most.
• your junghans mega has a perpetual calendar.
subject to successful time synchronisation, it never
needs to be corrected. in the absence of any time
signal reception, the perpetual calendar will run
in quartz mode until the year 2400.
• time zone setting accurate to the second can
easily be done using the crown. the seconds’
accuracy is not lost during the manual setting
process.
• the junghans autoscan function provides you with
a means of automatically searching for the time
signal transmitters.

2.1 functions of the button
please use only the supplied correction pin to oper-
ate the corrector button.
you can trigger the following functions by pressing
the corrector button:
manual time synchronisation
if you are in the reception area of one of the five
time signal transmitters, you can perform a manual
time synchronisation at any time. to do this, press
the corrector button for more than 3 seconds in
crown position a. for more information on manual
time synchronisation, see chapter 8.
sleep mode
sleep mode is an energy-efficient mode that extends
battery life. if you are not using the watch for a long
time, it makes sense to activate the sleep mode. to
do this, press the corrector button for more than 9
seconds in crown position a. in sleep mode, the
watch displays the time at 10:08, 32 seconds and
date 25. to reactivate the watch, press the corrector
button briefly.
reset function
if your junghans mega does not show the correct
time or date, you can correct this with the reset
function. before you carry out a reset, however,
please check whether not only the time zone has
been changed (see chapter 7.2) or the watch is in
quartz mode (see chapter9).
please ensure that there are no electronic sources of
interference in the vicinity of the watch.
pull the crown into position c and press the corrector
button for longer than 16 seconds. the second hand
will first move backwards briefly, then forwards.
the second, minute and hour hands then move to
the 12 o’clock position and the date rotates to “1”.
press the crown back to position a. as soon as the
positions are reached, the time synchronisation
starts for a maximum duration of 30 minutes. after
successful reception the watch adjusts automatically
to the current time. if reception was not successful,
this is indicated by the second hand jumping 5 sec-
onds. please synchronise the time manually again
in a location free of interference (press the corrector
button for more than 3 seconds). in regions without
radio reception, set your junghans mega with the
junghans mega app (chapter 7.1) or in quartz
mode (chapter 9).

3. automatic time synchronisation
automatic time synchronisation always takes place
at night based on the local time set on your watch:
eu – dcf 77:
at approx. 2:00 a.m. (cet) / 3:00 a.m (cest)
uk – msf:
at approx. 2:00 a.m. (cet) / 3:00 a.m (cest)
jp – jjy40 and jjy60:
at approx. 2:00 a.m.
us – wwvb:
at approx. 2:00 a.m.
at the start of the synchronisation process the
second hand moves to the 40-second-position and
remains in that position for the entire duration of
the synchronisation (max. 15 minutes) or until this
is manually terminated. the minute and hour hands
also stop and remain in this position during the
synchronisation process (max. 15  minutes). after
the time has been successfully synchronised, the
watch sets itself to the time received. the automatic
time synchronisation process can be terminated by
pressing the corrector button. after any termination
of the process or if no signal is picked up, the watch
sets itself to the internally stored time.
reception indicator
your watch’s reception indicator gives you informa-
tion about its reception status at any time. to access
this information, press the corrector button for less
than 3 seconds in crown position a. for a period of
4 seconds, the second hand shows you the current
reception status.

sec. 5 = dcf 77.5 is what was last received
sec. 15 = msf is what was last received
sec. 25 = jjy 60 is what was last received
sec. 30 = at the last attempt to synchronise time the
watch was unable to pick up a time sig-
nal and no synchronisation took place.
until the next synchronisation, the watch’s
movement runs on the basis of a quartz
watch.
sec. 35 = jjy 40 is what was last received
sec. 40 = the watch is in reception phase and is
currently attempting to access time infor-
mation.
sec. 45 = wwvb is what was last received
the date always changes automatically, e. g.
including from the 30th to the 1st of the next
month. in leap years the 29th of february gets
automatically taken into account. thanks to the
internal time-memory, during any days without
time synchronisation your watch will continue to
run with the precision of a quartz watch (+/– 8
seconds a year).
recommendation: to ensure the best possible con-
ditions for reception of the time signal, the watch
should not be worn and, if possible, not left near to
any electrical appliances, mobiles, cordless phones
or lights that use transformers.

4. travelling into other time zones with time signal
reception
when you travel into a different reception area,
automatic time and transmitter synchronisation does
not take place until the watch next picks up a time
signal. for the best possible reception conditions we
recommend that you set the appropriate time zone
for your location, as an attempt of synchronisation
always begins at ca. 2 a.m. based on the local
time set on the watch. if the time zone is wrong, the
watch will try to synchronise first with the time signal
transmitter that was previously set. only thereafter
do the other time signal transmitters get checked
by autoscan.
for example: you travel from europe to japan. your
watch has cet saved and tries to synchronise in
line with cet at 10 a.m. in japan. at that time there
is much more electromagnetic noise than when
synchronising at night and the chances of optimum
reception are thus less.
with the time zone set correctly the appropriate
transmitter frequency gets checked as the first prior-
ity, thus reducing the length of the transmitter check
and power consumption.
if the watch fails to pick up a time signal, perform a
manual time synchronisation (see section 8).
5. for the uk’s msf time signal
transmitter the following specific
exception applies:
in the uk you need to perform a one-time manual
time zone setting. due to the overlapping of the dcf
and msf transmitter signals, after a manual time syn-
chronisation or a reset the junghans mega always
shows the dcf time.
a) pull the crown into position c.
b) by turning the crown coun-
ter-clockwise you can set the
time to british summer time /
greenwich mean time
during this process the second
hand displays the
hour that you have set:
second 0 = midnight
second 1 = 1 a.m.
second 18 = 6 p.m., etc. until
second 23 = 11 p.m.
as soon as you turned the crown,
the hour and minute hands move
parallel to your setting. the date is
also adjusted automatically during
the procedure.
c) you end the process by pressing the crown back
into position a. the time set is retained during
any further time synchronisations.
6. for north america’s wwvb
time signal transmitter the following
specific exception applies:
after a successful synchronisation, the junghans
mega always receives pacific standard time. as
different time zones exist in the usa and switching
to summer and winter time varies from state to state,
it can be necessary to set the time zone manually.
a) ull the crown into position c.
b) by turning the crown clockwise
or counter-clockwise, you can
set the time by the hour.
usa time zones
pacific standard time
mountain standard time + 1h

7. travelling into other time zones without time
signal reception (manual time setting)
7.1. setting the time using the junghans mega app:
by using the junghans mega app, you are able to
transfer the time shown on the app to your watch.
to do this, you just need to download the app and
follow the instructions.
7.2 setting the time using the crown
in time zones with no time signal reception the local
time can be set manually.
setting the time in hour increments:
a) pull the crown into position c.
b) by turning the crown clockwise
or counter-clockwise, you can
set the time in hour increments.
during this process the second
hand displays the hour that you
have set:
second 0 = midnight
second 1 = 1 a.m.
second 18 = 6 p.m., etc. until
second 23 = 11 p.m.
as soon as you turned the crown,
the hour and minute hands move
parallel to your setting. the date is
also adjusted automatically during
the procedure.
c) you end the process by pressing the crown back
into position a.
setting all known time zones:
your junghans mega has all known time zones (as
at: 01/01/2018) already stored..
a) pull the crown in to position b.
b) by turning the crown clockwise
or counter-clockwise, you can
set all known time zones.
during this process the second
hand displays the hour that you
have set (see illustration):
second 0 = midnight
second 1 = 1 a.m.
second 18 = 6 p.m., etc. until
second 23 = 11 p.m.
please note that there are some
time zones that are set at quarter or
half-hourly increments (see follow-
ing table). each turn of the crown
advances one time zone, the sec-
ond hand only advances with the next full hour.
as soon as you turned the crown, hour and
minute hands move parallel to your setting. the
date is also adjusted automatically during the
procedure.
c) you end the process by pressing the crown back
into position a.

please note that the table is based on utc (coordi-
nated universal time). during summer time the time
changes by one hour.
after 30 days without any successful synchronisa-
tion, the receiver is deactivated in order to save
battery power. when travelling back to time zones
with time signal reception a manual synchronisation
is required for picking up the signal.
8. manual time synchronisation
you have the option of conducting a manual time
synchronisation at any time – aso long as you are in
the transmission area of one of the five time signal
transmitters. to achieve this, press the corrector but-
ton in crown position a for longer than 3 seconds.
the second hand advances to the 40-second-posi-
tion, hour and minute hands remain at their current
position. the reception phase begins as soon as the
second hand has reached the 40-second- position.
to ensure the best possible conditions for time
synchronisation the watch should not be worn and,
where possible, kept away from electrical appli-
ances, mobiles, cordless phones or lighting that is
operated with transformers.
as soon as the time signal is received, the hands
move automatically to the local time of the time
signal transmitter. if no time synchronisation is
possible with the most recently synchronised time
signal transmitter, junghans autoscan automatically
scans all other transmitters for possible reception of
the time signal.
if no time synchronisation is possible with one of
the five transmitters, the reception attempt is dis-
continued after 15 minutes. your watch will now
run on the basis of a quartz watch until the next
synchronisation.
you may abort the manual time synchronisation pre-
maturely as soon as the second hand has reached
the 40-second-position. press the corrector button
briefly. minute and hour hands return back to the
original time.
9. quartz mode
if you are staying a long time outside of the range
of any of the five time signal transmitters, we rec-
ommend that you set your watch using the junghans
mega app or via quartz mode. in this way you
avoid the watch attempting to pick up a signal and
thus save battery power.
the quartz mode makes it possible to set all time
information manually. in crown position b it is the
date that is set (leap year/year, month, date), while
in crown position c it is the time (hour, minute,
second).
to set the time manually, proceed as follows:für
die manuelle zeiteinstellung gehen sie bitte wie
folgt vor:
start by setting the year.
a) pull the crown into position b.
if the watch is already in quartz mode, continue
with step d)
b) the second hand indicates the current hour (sec-
ond 1 – 23).
c) press the corrector button longer than 3 seconds.
the second hand initially moves backwards brief-
ly, before moving forwards and stopping in the
leap year setting. to display the leap year the
subdial is divided into 4 areas (see illustration;
example: 2016 was a leap year, 2018 is leap
year + 2).
d) as you turn the crown clockwise or counter-clock-
wise, the hand moves correspondingly forwards
or backwards into the next segment.
leap year leap year + 1
leap year + 3 leap year + 2
to access the month setting, maintain crown posi-
tion b and press the corrector button once briefly.
for this process the months are indicated via the
second hand. each fifth second index corresponds
to one month (second 5 = january, second 10 =
february, etc.). turning the crown moves the hand
forwards or backwards, displaying the selected
month.
to set the date, maintain crown position b and brief-
ly press the corrector button again briefly.
the date is displayed via the second hand. the
second increments from the first to the thirty first
second serve for orientation (see illustration: the
second hand points to second 10, i.e. the 10th of
the month is indicated as date).
by turning the crown clockwise or anti-clockwise the
hand moves forwards or backwards accordingly.
the date display follows the setting via the second
hand and displays the selected date.
to end the procedure, press the crown back into
position a.

setting the time:
a) pull the crown into position c.
b) the second hand moves to the
hour currently displayed by the
hour hand and stops, see illus-
tration:
second 0 = midnight
second 1 = 1 a.m.
second 18 = 6 p.m., etc. until
second 23 = 11 p.m.
c) if the watch is already in quartz mode, continue
with step e).
d) press the corrector button for longer than 3 sec-
onds.
e) by turning the crown, you now set the desired
time via the minute hand. each turn of the crown
triggers one step of the minute hand. a clockwise
movement triggers a step in the clockwise direc-
tion and a counter-clockwise movement a step in
the counter-clockwise direction.
please note that the hand movement occurs only
in single steps.
using the hand moving fast mode it is possible
to set the time more quickly. to do this, briefly
press the corrector button. the hands now start to
move in the direction that they last moved, i.e.
clockwise or counter-clockwise. in order to stop
the fast moving, press the corrector button again.
f) to complete the setting, press the crown back into
position a. the second hand positions itself to the
12 o’clock position and starts moving.
note: to have the time shown accurate to the sec-
ond, we recommend that you set it to the next full
minute and using a reference clock the crown into
position a on the 60th second.
in quartz mode the watch does not perform any
automatic attempts to pick up a time signal.
you can check whether the watch is in quartz mode
by briefly pressing the corrector button. if it is in
quartz mode, the second hand jumps in 5-second
intervals for one minute. to activate time signal
reception a manual synchronisation is required (see
section 8).
10. resetting/re-starting after a change of battery
(reset)
after a change of battery a reset is automatically
performed. after you insert the battery, all hands
move to the 12 o’clock position, ‚1’ is shown as
the date and your watch starts the signal reception
process. after a signal is successfully picked up, the
watch automatically sets itself to the correct time.
if your watch is unable to pick up the time signal for
30 minutes, the reception process is terminated to
save battery power. this is indicated by the second
hand jumping 5 seconds. in order to start another
attempt to pick up a time signal, perform a manual
synchronisation (section 8).
if you are outside the range of any of the trans-
mitters, you can set the watch manually to the
current time. the procedure is described in section
9 - ‚quartz mode’. or you can set the time using the
junghans mega app (section 7.1).
11. ready for use/low-batt-indicator
to ensure that your watch is always ready for use,
you should avoid allowing its power reserves to run
down. you should check your watch regularly to
make sure that it has enough battery power. if you
have not sufficient power (e.g. because the battery
has run down or due to low ambient temperature,
which impairs battery performance), the second
hand moves only every 2 seconds (low-batt-indica-
tor). if the battery performance can’t be recovered
(e.g. through better ambient temperature), you
should bring the watch to your junghans special-
ised retailer within seven days to get the battery
changed. alternatively, send it to the junghans
service centre.

12. general notes
external influences can affect the watch’s water-
proof qualities, which may let in moisture. we there-
fore recommend that you have your watch regularly
inspected by your junghans specialist. other servic-
ing tasks or wrist strap repairs should also be done
by your junghans specialist. your watch is fitted with
a quality wrist strap that has been undergone quali-
ty checks at our factory. if you decide to change the
strap, we recommend that you use 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 moistened cloth.
caution: do not use chemical cleaners (e.g. benzine
or paint thinners). these may harm the surface.

the water-resistance as prescribed by din is a
design engineering characteristic which is suscep-
tible to external influences such as shock, fluctu-
ations in temperature, uv light and direct contact
with cosmetics and cleaning products (greases and
acids). the “3–20 bar” condition is thus only appli-
cable for brand new watches. we recommend
having the watch inspected at regular intervals.
