Agreed. It's the most uniquuely designed of the two. For me, the highly domed crystal with the shallow dial beneath is the main attraction that sets it so far apart from other watches of our time.
@@SpektrikMusic i agree. Watches like the Meister Kalender and Chronoscope look nice but the movement leaves a lot to be desired. Junghans needs to upgrade to 60 - 72 hrs power reserve as many competitors are already doing so.
I love NOMOS for it's club designs and the fun dials they offer. I love junghans for it's minimalism of it's designs (not just max bill but the Meister line as well). Both are great value for the money, but I don't have that money yet.
Love Junghans. I have the Max Bill Chronoscope, and admire it daily...the design, proportions, and numerals, are all wonderfully sophisticated. It somehow embodies the very best of mid-century aesthetics, in the most beautiful and unpretentious way.
Your excellent review aside, can I just say that your pronounciation of "Junghans" is spot on? You must the first watch youtuber to nail the short "u". And "Bauhaus" is pronounced just like "Bowhouse" with a sharper s at the end :)
The finishing of the Nomos is beyond comprehension, just so much to look at while so little on dial. Junghans for me is amazing design nod to it's own history and history of Bauhaus. Thanks for this video, it really helped to shape my point of view re these models!
Happy to help. I know these two brands get lumped together quite a bit and the price is typically the driving factor, but there are other elements at play too. Thanks for watching!
Yes. Pictures don't do justice to either of these watches - you have to see them in real life to fully appreciate them. The Nomos dial is unbelievably sharp and clear with the gold markings and blued hands. I like both of them but, for me, the Nomos is perfection.
I prefer the Nomos. My 35mm Nomos Orion looks so simple yet classy under the cuffs of a tuxedo shirt and dinner jacket. I also enjoy the fact that it has drilled lug holes which make switching out straps a breeze!
I highly recommend seeing both brands in person and trying them on (this holds true for all watches to be honest). Seeing these on screen doesn't do them justice. After visiting my local dealer, and trying on several NOMOS, I surprised myself by preferring the Club Campus ref 737 more than the Tangente and Orion.
I'm getting one of these for my fiance for an engagement gift. He put both of these on his list of potentials so thank you for the in-depth look at both of them!
If you can't decide between the two, get a Junghans Meister manual winding. It is even cleaner and also has a beautiful ETA 7001 based movement with a transparent caseback, like the Nomos. In addition, it is just a little over 7 mm thick.
I think you are right to say these are apples and oranges. I see the Max Bill as a smart casual watch and the Orion as a dress watch. Both are high on my to-buy list - great overview!
I attended the 2023 Wind-Up Watch Faire NYC and the Junghans booth just grabbed me with their design. I knew just a little above nothing about watches. But I love great design. Junghans just looked so striking. But I wouldn't compare these two watches. Sure they came from the same design school. But the mentality is quite different. The look of their brands is from completely different generations. I really love the Max Bill Automatic. Really cool vintage style watch. Too bad you don't have the gold-case version. But I love NOMOS for their in-house movement and more modern and still classy look. For them, I'm looking at their CLUB SPORT NEOMATIK 39. A totally modern and amazing looking watch.
- Which of the 2 watches I would go for? - Both of them/any of them (l love German minimalism and their craftsmanship) Thank you much, another great episode, thumb up as usual
Appreciate the history of Junghan Taking a different look at the brand Leaning towards Junghan Love Mom is movement however doesn't justify that big a price difference Keep up good work on under exposed brands
I own the Junghans Max Bill, I tried on the Orion 38 - I liked both. To me, the Orion is "smart" whereas the Junghans is "smart casual". I find the Max Bill would work with a pair of chinos, desert boots, heavy shirt and wool jacket - whereas the Nomos only works with a dark blue suit and crisp white shirt.
Absolutely simple yet elegant timepieces😍 Don't want to choose one, I want them both😋 😂 Love ur vids Teddy! Keep posting such beautiful content for us!!
Awesome presentation of those classic watches! I just love the Max Bill's design, in my opinion it's the most beautiful watch out there! Traditional and classy without the need of any bling, elegant with its curves, very readable while still staying minimal, and it's a true original with an amazing history. The Nomos also looks very classy, but at least this Orion with its golden accents on the dial wouldn't be my style. I like the slim case, the long lugs not so much, but it all fits very nicely together and I get why many people (and copycats) love it.
I think the Max Bill should really be compared to NOMOS other offering, the Tangente. The appearance and price are a little closer to each other vs the Orion. I understand Teddy was demonstrating the difference between mid-century design with the Junghans, vs the modern design of the NOMOS. Full disclosure, I have an Orion Neomatik 175yr edition, and it is incredible. The finishing is astonishing, and a very good value for a dress watch. Thanks again Teddy for a great video.
I spent hours researching Nomos. They sing to me. That look simply goes with my aesthetic. Clean, simple and will never go out of style (for me) Now I another brand to research. The crazy part is I have yet to buy my first mechanical watch. I need to decide next week. Either a Hamilton (most likely a Murph) or a Christopher Ward Trident. Then I step it up for my "next level" These two brands might fit that bill. Whatever I decide on, Teddy will be my dealer (except CW) The education I've received has triggered loyalty. 😊
Hi Teddy, in my search for buying a new watch I came across this video. The video really opened my eyes for the Junghans. I ended up buying the 34mm handwinder and wow… Owning the watch for three weeks now and constantly gazing to my wrist. Unfortunately I did not buy it in your shop (because of taxes and things like that) but at my local jewelry store. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work.
@@zos09 I own some larger watches as well (e.g. the Seiko pressage) and have large wrists. I do still not find it small at all. It's after 2 years still my go to watch on most days and it helps me to get compliments on my watch on a weekly base ;-)
@@dstolker Glad to hear that, I just bought it 30 minutes ago…It s cool though I have had a big Huawei smart, now it s like there is nothing on my wrist.. : ) I ll have to buy another strap though, the original is …I prefer black ..
I love both of these! Although I’m gonna have to lean more towards the Junghans because of the dial design, price and functionality. It’s more legible to me, than the Nomos dial. Although! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Nomos because of the exhibition case back, the in-house movement and finish! It’s absolutely beautiful! I could see myself staring at the movement all the time! They’re both awesome! Thank you for the video Teddy!
Both are really beautiful watches. I think what would be really interesting would be an extended review of both. Wear each one for about a month and tell us your impressions. How is the legibility of both watches? Does the bezelless crystal of the Junghans end up taking a beating? Do the longer lugs of the Nomos affect wearability in the long run? They are such iconic watches, it would be great to see them put through their paces, so to speak.
Michael Benson 1 second ago Thanks for diving into the Bauhaus design movement. You are excellent at what you do as well - I've been collecting watches since 1976 ... got my Tony the Tiger watch as a kid!
In the last few days the Watchfinder channel made videos on both the Junghans and Nomos watches. It was enlightening. It was shocking to see the lack of fit and finish on the Junghans. I used to be torn between these two watchmakers but after watching these videos I am now convinced. Nomos is qualitatively better.
Very happy with the 2 Junghans Meister series watches in my collection. Both watches look better in person compared to photos. Quality and accuracy are top notch.
Not a fan of the design but if I was I'd go for Junghans with a sapphire crystal. I like the history and tradition there Also I wouldn't mind putting the blue Nomos hands on it! Nomos also has good selling points too.
Lots of fashion brands copy Nomos. However, I have not seen a Junghans Bauhaus copy yet. It is just that unique. The Junghans is definitely my grail for the next few years. Especially the 38mm automatic version with saphire glas. However, because they just recently added a saphir version you can only find it on retail and 1200 € is too much for me at the moment. I will still try to get one under 1000. Let the hunt begin
I have been looking at both of these brands, as well as Sternglas. I think the Sterglas Naos Automatik might be a good entry watch since I am a newbie in the watch world.
Just want to say that the editing of this video is excellent. Those rapid-fire cuts at 0:54 along with the audible ticking caught my attention. Certainly some effort went into that one! Nice work, Teddy.
While talking about Junghans max bill and putting it into my bucket list, one of my artist friend asked me why do I want this watch so much. The pictures I have showed him looked simple and generic, which didn't interest him. Luckily, we were near to a watch shop and guess which one was in the preview? - yes, it was Junghans Max Bill! My friend instantly liked it.
If I preferred this style of watch, it would be the Junghans just because I have a really small wrist. I otherwise like the styling of the Nomos a bit better.
NOMOS Metro Datum Gangreserve is (imo) the model that tips the scales in favour o Nomos. With a slightly deeper domed dial and crystal, plus date and power reserve, it's incredibly uncluttered and clean. Take a look!................
Seems like the Meister Handwound is the better direct comparison to the Orion - both have no numerals on the dial, both hand wound 7001 vs alpha. that would get the thicknesses closer and have comparable case backs. I think design-wise, the max bill is closer to the Club as it straddles the dress vs. sport line very well
Making a video comparing acrylic vs. Sapphire would be very helpful. Comparing the exact same Junghans watch with both watch crystals. Shape, dimensions, color, durability, how they're installed and what affect both crystals have on the looks of a dial. Unfortunately there's not many brick-and-mortar stores anymore so most of our shopping is online, and pictures cannot describe what the human eye can see. Thank you for your content and I hope you consider my suggestion.
Nomos takes influence from Bauhaus and Max Bill, where as the Junghans Max Bill (as the name suggest) was designed by Max Bill and is pure Bauhaus. Junghans is the real deal, Nomos is the modern interpretation. Junghans all the way for me, would rather have the original, but that takes nothing away from Nomos who make some nice watches too.
I love the technical stuff in Nomos and the full in house culture, but they need.to step.the game from the subsidiary seconds and bring some more comps....
Easy decision would be to have both in one's collection. Which one to get first is the tricky part. Great review of the two. How about a review of 36000bph movements in the market?
Teddy, your videos are always great, I have never seen better and more sensitive watch presentations. As has already been mentioned here several times, both watches have something for themselves and luckily appeal to individual tastes. The following Junghans watches appeal to me personally: MEISTER AGENDA, DATE ENGLISH - Article No .: 27 / 7066.01 and MEISTER CHRONOSCOPE - Article No .: 27 / 7023.00. And so I would be very happy to receive a review regarding one of these two, and beyond that, what constitutes a PVD coating, or how durable such a coating is.
I have the Junghans Max Bill anthracite dial... absolutely love the looks of it but always thought that it felt too dainty, wish it felt more sturdy. The other thing is that the rotor is audible and a bit too noisy.. a minor annoyance
Nomos lugs too long for me. Also, the small seconds dial is a little distracting. They are nice watches, just not for me. Max Bill is understated elegance.
Junghans watches are as good as Glashütte watches. Watchmaking has a great tradition in Schwarzwald. When the first Mega Solar with ceramic and elektroniks for example opening a door, was released I worked at the advertising agency there and I made the 3D model for the catalog showing the watch in its parts. I still have a print of this 😊
I love Nomos as a brand and like what they're doing with their in house movements and escapements but in terms of visual appeal, Junghans has them beat. I can't take my eye off any of their watches. Even their pilot watch like the Junghas Meister Pilot looks so elegant. I think the Max Bill collection of watches is THE dress watch folks should look if you're in the market for one.
Hi Teddy, amazing video! I love the look of the Max Bill with the black dial and Arabic numerals. It just has such a vintage cool aesthetic. I’m hoping to order one from you soon. From a looks perspective would you go the plexiglass or sapphire?
Go plexy. It is cristal clear and leaves no smudges. You can polish it in case you scratch it. The sapphire is coated. That leaves smudges. It will also scratch (the coating) and will not be able to do anything about it.
I had a Nomos, but for my taste the case is to thick. But the dial is really beautiful. I maybe go for the baroncelli III heritage or the Junghans Max Bill next.
Bought the Junghans and when I got it I decided it just felt too cheap to me even though I liked the design. I ended up giving it to a friend and buying a Nomos. Much better.
Junghans, the design is so classical and timeless, very unique but discrete, it’s a work of art.
I appreciate you syncing the seconds hand on both watches! Been eyeing the Orion for a while, about to pull the trigger on it as a graduation gift to myself

That Junghans is breathtaking.

Max Bill (by far) imo, but a Nomos is very respectable and a great piece.
First!!!!!! Also, I prefer Junghans because they are more reasonably priced, and they look more unique...
For what it is Nomos is probably more reasonably priced i think
Junghans for me. I had this same dilemma some time back, but in the end Nomos seemed more generic whereas there is just one Max Bill.
If I preferred this style of watch, it would be the Junghans just because I have a really small wrist. I otherwise like the styling of the Nomos a bit better.

Great vid, audio seemed soft for some reason on this one.
The cherry blossom pink Junghans Max Bill hand-wind in 34mm is the best version imo. Would love to get that one someday.
The Orion looks dope!
Thank you for not just saying "it's Bauhaus" - drives me nuts when it's used a synonym for generalized minimalism
Good video Teddy. Combine the Junghan’s dial and hands, and the Nomos’ movement and open case back....winner!

Easy decision would be to have both in one's collection. Which one to get first is the tricky part. Great review of the two. How about a review of 36000bph movements in the market?
Both beautiful watches,but choose the Junghans max bill and love it.
I go back and forth. I thought I prefer Nomos but now I will choose Junghans Max Bill no date over Nomos Ludwig.
Starting to come around on the German watches. Thank you, Teddy.
I own a 34mm hand-wound Max Bill and a Orion Neomatik. I do like both of them, just very rarely wear them.
My Grandpa has a Nomos watch and he is very happy with it.
Adding chapters will definitely help navigating long videos!
We typically add them for non review videos but we can start doing it more
Teddy, your videos are always great, I have never seen better and more sensitive watch presentations. As has already been mentioned here several times, both watches have something for themselves and luckily appeal to individual tastes. The following Junghans watches appeal to me personally: MEISTER AGENDA, DATE ENGLISH - Article No .: 27 / 7066.01 and MEISTER CHRONOSCOPE - Article No .: 27 / 7023.00. And so I would be very happy to receive a review regarding one of these two, and beyond that, what constitutes a PVD coating, or how durable such a coating is.
I’m a huge fan of NOMOS and Junghans. I own the club date and the Junghans Meister Telemeter
I have the Junghans Max Bill anthracite dial... absolutely love the looks of it but always thought that it felt too dainty, wish it felt more sturdy. The other thing is that the rotor is audible and a bit too noisy.. a minor annoyance
Both these exact watches have been on my radar for some time.
The max Bill.is love at 1st sight.I will buy 1.thanks
Nomos lugs too long for me. Also, the small seconds dial is a little distracting. They are nice watches, just not for me. Max Bill is understated elegance.
I think a Junghans Meister Classic would have been a better comparison to the Nomos Orion.
Thanks for putting the sizes in context
Any thoughts on the Laco Classics in comparisons to Junghans and Nomos? Love the Bauhaus style so much 😍
Junghans watches are as good as Glashütte watches. Watchmaking has a great tradition in Schwarzwald. When the first Mega Solar with ceramic and elektroniks for example opening a door, was released I worked at the advertising agency there and I made the 3D model for the catalog showing the watch in its parts. I still have a print of this 😊
I love Nomos as a brand and like what they're doing with their in house movements and escapements but in terms of visual appeal, Junghans has them beat. I can't take my eye off any of their watches. Even their pilot watch like the Junghas Meister Pilot looks so elegant. I think the Max Bill collection of watches is THE dress watch folks should look if you're in the market for one.
Hi Teddy, amazing video! I love the look of the Max Bill with the black dial and Arabic numerals. It just has such a vintage cool aesthetic. I’m hoping to order one from you soon. From a looks perspective would you go the plexiglass or sapphire?
Following
Go plexy. It is cristal clear and leaves no smudges. You can polish it in case you scratch it. The sapphire is coated. That leaves smudges. It will also scratch (the coating) and will not be able to do anything about it.
As an Austrian, so a German speaking Person, it pains me to hear you say German names, but I love your reviews!
I ended up having both :D !! CHEER !!!
I own both watch brands. Love them both
Literally waiting on my new Junghans Max Bill hand wind to get delivered today. Next up is a Nomos Tetra!
How are you enjoying it? As good as you had hoped for?
I has that exact same Nomos, wish I hadn’t sold, just a beautiful piece.
Did I miss the watch give away results? 😦
I had a Nomos, but for my taste the case is to thick. But the dial is really beautiful. I maybe go for the baroncelli III heritage or the Junghans Max Bill next.
Bought the Junghans and when I got it I decided it just felt too cheap to me even though I liked the design. I ended up giving it to a friend and buying a Nomos. Much better.
cheap why? how nomos you think is much better? thank you!
