We present the results of the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the neglected binary system HD\,194495 (B3\,IV-V+B4\,V). A combined analysis of three different photometric data set ($Tycho$ B$_T$ and V$_T$ photometry, H$_p$-band data of $Hipparcos$ and $V-$band data of ASAS3 photometry) and radial velocities indicates that the system has an orbital period of 4.90494 $\pm$ 0.00005 days and an inclination of 69$\pm$1 degrees. This solution yields masses and radii of $M_{\rm 1}$ = 7.57$\pm$0.08 $M_{\odot}$ and $R_{\rm 1}$ = 5.82$\pm$0.03 $R_{\odot}$ for the primary and $M_{\rm 2}$ = 5.46$\pm$0.09 $M_{\odot}$ and $R_{\rm 2}$ = 3.14$\pm$0.08 $R_{\odot}$ for the secondary. Based on the position of the two stars plotted on a theoretical H-R diagram, we find that the age of the system is $\gtrsim$ 28 Myr, according to stellar evolutionary models. The spectroscopic and photometric results are in agreement with those obtained using theoretical predictions.
