The Watch
Max Bill was born in December 1908 in Zurich Switzerland. In 1933 after completing his studies in Bauhaus design, he built his own house and studio. After the war, Max had a key role in rebuilding Germany under the Marshall Plan. In the 1950s Junghans was very interested in working with Max. He and his students created clocks and watches with clean lines, simple geometry, and unique typefaces.

Personal Note
I've been lucky enough to have had a lot of Junghans in stock over the years and they are all fantastic, incredible value in the Bauhaus design world and truly alongside Nomos in my books, but it isn't every day they go out there and do something a bit more daring, this is exactly that and I think it executed perfectly. If you are into more stealth watches that can really start a conversation and not break the bank this is your watch!
