Junghans (vereinigte Uhrenfabriken Gebr. Junghans & Thomas Haller A.-G.)
Schramberg, Württemberg, Black Forest, Germany. Clockmaking business founded by Erhard Junghans in 1861. Produced two types of disc-playing musical clocks, one having the disc played on the front of the works beneath the clockface; the other on top of the clock horizontally under a hinged lid. Junghand discs appear all to have been 4 ½ inc. (11.5 cm) in diameter and all bear the trademark of an eight-pointed star, the points of which touch an enclosing circle with the name Junghans and the letter `J´ inside the star. Symphonion also made clocks of this type, which used the same mechanism and the identical discs, but bearing the name and marks of Symphonion.

Um 1930 wurden (fast schon etwas anachronistisch) Spieldosen mit auswechselbaren Walzen angeboten – und auch verkauft.
