About the Max Bill collection of Junghans watches

The introduction of the Max Bill collection in the late 1950s marked a turning point for Junghans, bridging the gap between functionality and aesthetic simplicity. The design was the brainchild of the renowned Swiss artist and architect Max Bill, who was inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy, which emphasised the principle that form follows function. Max Bill's vision of minimalism is evident in every facet of the collection. The watches feature a clean, logical dial layout that focuses attention solely on the time, embodying the mantra of ‘less is more’. This distinctive design has made the Max Bill a timeless icon, appealing to those who appreciate both modernity and tradition.

At the heart of the Bauhaus Movement are simplicity, geometric congruence and functionality. With these guiding principles in mind, movement scholar Max Bill designed one of the most iconic Bauhaus watches of all time. Originally produced in 1957 by the German company Junghans, it is now being reissued in a variety of styles that pay homage to the original. This one, a hand-wound version, features a domed crystal that magnifies the clean, crisp, easy-to-read dial.
