Junghans and Max Bill: Experience design history

The max bill classic of Junghans is available in 2017 as a special edition. A fascinating timepiece that fully embodies the Bauhaus philosophy and corresponds to the guiding principle "the form follows the function" in every detail. The graphic "variation 1" from the "graphic series" by Max Bill, which characterizes the model subtly as an insider's tip for connoisseurs, can be seen on the floor of the year's edition - and it is always possible to carry the creative creativity of the architect with him. The "graphical series" stand for continuous development of geometric forms, which are also mathematically justified: In "variation 1", the side of a multi-corner simultaneously forms the side of the next multi-corner. As "a pure game of form and color ... solely for the purpose, "The artist titled his work, which he created already at a young age (1935-1938) after he had attended the Bauhaus in Dessau founded by Walter Gropius as an art school. The timepiece also comes from the absolute eye of Max Bill, who designed the first watches for Junghans in 1961 - a close connection that expresses this model in a special way.

The JUNGHANS max bill year 2017 is available in two exciting versions: with a bar-dial for admirers of absolute purism or with a dial on which the hour numbers are designed in the typography of Max Bill. Both versions are equipped with a special bracelet, the lower part of which takes up the colors used in "variation 1". The watches have a diameter of 38mm and are equipped with a quartz movement. They do not have a limit number, but are only produced in 2017. The price is 495, - €

Limited edition set for collectors

The exclusive edition set is limited to 222 copies, the limit being 22, which was of special importance to Max Bill, as his birthday and the wedding with his wife Binia fell to a 22nd of the month . Of limited art, Max Bill has always reserved the number 22 for himself. In addition to the wristwatch, the set also includes a table clock with a quartz movement designed in the Bauhaus style, with the "variation 1" from the "graphic series" by Max Bill illuminated on the back. Two design classics that make the heart of every design lover beaten - both on the wrist and at home. The price of the set is 990, - €
