Junghans Max Bill Regulator Edition WiWo - 274/4931.00
About this timepiece
Made for an anniversary and limited to just 100 pieces, the Junghans Max Bill Regulator Edition WiWo (ref. 274/4931.00) honors 100 years of the business magazine WirtschaftsWoche, which has reported on the business world since 1926. This German automatic watch pairs Max Bill's regulator layout with a matt white dial, the edition logo at 12 o'clock and crisp red accents.
Turn it over and a glass case back retained by four screws reveals the self-winding Junghans J800.5 at work, a fitting detail for a partnership built on looking behind the scenes. Up front, the minute hand turns from the center while hours and seconds have their own displays; matt silver hands with red inlays on the hour and minute hands, a red-tipped second hand and a date in red bring the dial to life, with luminous dots at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. The 40 mm matt stainless steel case carries an edition engraving, and the movement offers up to 38 hours of power reserve, complemented by a leather strap with a matt stainless steel buckle, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and water resistance up to 5 bar.

Timepiece History
Junghans was founded on April 14, 1861, in Schramberg in Germany's Black Forest, when Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law, Jakob Zeller-Tobler, set up a firm making parts for large Black Forest clocks; the first complete Junghans clocks followed in 1866. By 1903, Junghans had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in the world, and in 1918 it completed its nine-level terrace building, the Terrassenbau, which today houses the Junghans Terrassenbau Museum. Owned by the Steim family since 2009, Junghans remains based in Schramberg today.
Junghans began working with the Bauhaus-trained artist and architect Max Bill in 1956, and in 1961 Bill designed Junghans' first line of mechanical wristwatches, still produced in nearly the same form. The max bill Regulator gives that design a regulator layout, with minutes shown centrally and hours and seconds on auxiliary dials, and this edition marks 100 years of WirtschaftsWoche, which has covered business since 1926, in a run of 100 pieces.

Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.
