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.

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)

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.

duct conforms to the principle requirements and other relevant stipula-

tions of directive 1999/5/ec.
