Best Watch Winder for Junghans | Tempus
Founded in Schramberg, Germany in 1861, Junghans grew into one of the world's largest watchmakers — and into a design icon when Max Bill's Bauhaus dials arrived in 1957. Those clean, legible faces remain the definitive German dress watch.
The Max Bill Automatic is the design classic; the Meister line adds a touch more presence with the same restrained DNA. Junghans automatics typically use Swiss ETA-based calibres, and the house standard is 725 TPD, bi-directional — slightly higher than the Swiss 650 norm, so it is worth setting deliberately.
Junghans TPD Requirements
Junghans automatics need 725 turns per day, bi-directional — covering both the Max Bill Automatic and the Meister Automatic.
| Model | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Junghans Max Bill Automatic | 725 TPD, bi-directional |
| Junghans Meister Automatic | 725 TPD, bi-directional |

What to Look for in a Winder for Junghans
A winder programmable to 725 TPD with a bi-directional mode. Junghans dials are famously minimal — a winder with a clean, modern aesthetic suits the brand, and quiet operation keeps it bedroom-friendly.
Beyond the numbers, the fundamentals still apply: whisper-quiet operation so the winder can live in a bedroom, a secure holder that grips without marking the strap or bracelet, and a power reserve-friendly rotation pattern. Every Tempus winder is built around these, with programmable TPD, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty as standard.
Tempus Winders for Junghans Owners
-
Tempus 4 Touch Screen (£596) — Four independent rotors programmable to 725 TPD bi-directional — the Junghans standard — with whisper-quiet motors and a 3-year warranty. -

Why Junghans Owners Bother With a Winder
A Max Bill left unworn stops within two days, and while resetting a simple three-hander is quick, it is still a daily interruption. On a winder at 725 TPD bi-directional, the watch is always correct and ready.
Single vs Multi-Watch for Junghans
A Max Bill plus a Meister is the classic Junghans pairing — a 2-watch winder covers both. German-watch enthusiasts with Nomos or Sinn alongside will want 4 rotors with independent settings.
