JUNGHANS
Max Bill Automatic
The self-winding watch was unveiled by Junghans to commemorate the
100th anniversary of Bauhaus. 1,000 watches are offered in this limited
edition Per Junghans; “The matt silver dial commemorates the white walls
of the building in Dessau, and the anthracite colored case is representative
of the striking façade. Designed in the color of the architects, the grey
strap is inspired by the construction element of the Bauhaus: concrete.
Guaranteeing ideal readability thanks to their clear and simplistic form, the
red hands mirror the color design of the famous red doors of the Bauhaus in
Dessau. A hue which is even more prominent in the red date wheel. “ Can’t
get much more romantic about a watch than that. On to the stats; inside the
slim 38mm x 9.7mm case is a Junghans automatic with a 38 hour power
reserve visible through a partially see-through back engraved to celebrate
the school of Bauhaus. Price was not given at time of publication so place
your bets. I’m guestimating this watch will land between $1,250-$1,750.
