The latest information indicates that the 24 hour "Borduhr" was also used in the LZ130 Zeppelin Graf Zeppelin II as shown on the foto below.

The next two pictures I took at the Junghans Museum in Schramberg.
Below the story how the search for information about this clock started in 2016.
This is a little story about the good use of the internet. While researching information for my Junghans pocket watch collection I received a picture about a special Junghans board clock with a 24-hour dial as a special treat. At that time it was not known where this watch had been installed during its duty time. Even Junghans could not provide further information. So it was time to ask around using my connections I made during my Junghans research. I got a hint whom to ask and in the end, the Dornier X was confirmed as the home of this rare 24 hour "Junghans Borduhr", proven by a picture, courtesy of "Collection Peter W. Cohausz". I was really happy that I could help in finding this information and the owner of the clock was even more happy about the treasure he has in his possession.
The only remaining secret is the name of the clock movement Junghans developed for this watch as nothing is mentioned anywhere.
